So I figure I'll check the top prospects list ... not just the Red Sox but the top 100 from all the organizations. Sure, not a solution for this year but still a solution. There are not really any worth trading for. Not for our good young arms anyways.
Up until he got hurt anyways ... our own kid looks pretty good but a few years away. So perhaps it's best to stick with Lowrie for now is my point. Navarro is in 'A' ball right now.

Scouting Report: Not initially signed as a big name, Navarro has thoroughly impressed the Sox brass during his rise through the organization. He has an athletic build for a shortstop, with a little bit of bulk. At the plate, he makes good contact and generates good loft off his bat, resulting in a lot of liners. Quick wrists, nice bat speed. Hits fastballs better than breaking balls. A little too aggressive at the plate, could stand to take some more pitches. Average speed and good power for a middle infielder. In the field, he plays 2B, 3B, and SS more than adequately, with a sure glove and an average to above average arm, but he still needs to improve his footwork. He also has had some problems with fluidly executing double plays, but that seems to be improving. Regardless, he's always entertaining to watch, and turns a lot of big league gems with his glove. He has an Ozzie Smith-like electricity in the field.
