Boston Red Sox Complete Organizational Chart At MLB Daily Dish

One of our sister sites, MLB Daily Dish, has made a pretty handy reference guide for Red Sox fans. It's a complete organizational chart of the franchise, detailing not just the major league roster, but also the front office, and the entirety of the minor league system.

And really, it's not just that, either. The last three years of Baseball America top 10 prospect rankings are included. The year players become free agents, whether major or minor league. Arbitration status, salary, a color-coded key for player, mutual, vesting, or team options. The coaching staff and their positions. Whether a player is out of options, is a spring training non-roster invitee, their age... if it doesn't have everything, it sure is close.

It's not completely filled out yet -- not a surprise given the amount of information involved -- but it's already loaded up with tons of information. The goal here is to get this all in one place for easy reference, so next time you've got a question about contract status, salary, or any of the above, this is where you'll want to be looking.

[Update] MLB Daily Dish is aware of the mistakes in the organizational chart, and are working to fix them.

sure

but it’s wrong in a lot of places. Like last year’s coaching staff except Valentine, listing McDonald as arb eligible, inexplicably labelling most of out player’s salaries as player options, labelling Lavarnway and Kalish as arb eligible before they will be, and a few other things.

Nice idea, but not too helpful. Don’t really trust anything on it that I don’t know.

Well, as said

It’s not done yet. And Cot’s Contracts lists McDonald as arb-eligible, too, despite not enough service time (meaning now I have to go fix something)

yeah, I mean, I think most of them are understandable mistakes

I think McDonald missed the super 2 cutoff by a day or two of service time

They actuall have John Lackey as our #2.

Is our staff that bad?

Probably sorted by contract amount

Definitely not sorted by horribleness...

Yeah. It was an attempt at humor.

Which often fails over the internet.

If Middlebrooks is at AAA

I’m assuming that he’s starting over Nate Spears…..

by BobZupcic on Jan 17, 2012 3:30 PM EST reply actions

He ended 2011 at Triple-A

So this is a safe assumption, even regardless of prospect status

I’ve been writing over there this year, it really is a great site and I’m excited about these charts they are making.

Why is Shoppach listed under Pawtucket?

And as Doubront and Bowden are out of options, is it fair to list them still at AAA? Atchison’s out of options and he’s listed with the big league club. Are they allowed to start the year at Pawtucket (without passing through the waiver wire)? It’s amusing to think of the PawSox having a 9-man rotation.
