2008

When a catcher posts a 939 OPS, you take notice, but Wagner's 2007 performance comes with so many caveats that it's hard to take it seriously. He was old for his league, he didn't actually hit for impressive power given his environment, and he didn't warrant a promotion. In other words, Wagner looks like an organizational player.

2007

A ninth-round pick in 2005, Wagner broke out in his first full year as a pro at Greenville, both at the plate--showing on-base skills and gap power--and behind it, where he threw out 32 percent of baserunners. That earned him Sally League All-Star honors and a promotion to Wilmington. Though he didn`t hit there, he`s bound for a return engagement to start the season, and could reach Double-A by midsummer. He and Kotteras give the Red Sox two more catching prospects than most teams have.
