It is mainly top prospects from high A and AA so probably equal to AA. Good question!

The pitching is famously bad.

Upside is Wade Boggs and the downside is Jack Perconte.

Why

Because pitchers that had good seasons don't pitch in the fall/winter. So it's a lot of guys that maybe had injuries or were the 8th guy in the bullpen, lots of project guys, basically.

Wade Boggs is the upside? That doesn't sound too promising. So he is slow and has no power?

Good hit, above average power, average-ish speed, and solid defense but will probably end up at 2nd or 3rd in the majors. Baseball America has him as the #11 overall prospect so a good season next year will likely put him in the top 5.
