This guy has been an employed scout for a few years and has connections within the game, so there might be something to some of his variances lower on the list.

One tenth of the top 100 is pretty salty for a 30 team league.

Yea, it's not bad, of course I'm likely to lose 100 games this coming season.

looks like according to that list my top 10 propect list looks like this:






.

1. Steven Strasburg
38. Michael Taylor
40. Aaron Hicks
44. Dee Gordon
47. Andy Oliver
80. Ben Revere
84. Mat Gamel
91. Jared Mitchell

Eight More. I am not crazy about some of his rankings, but that's what makes prospecting fun. For every complaint I have like Hicks and Taylor, I would be glad to see an Oliver be that high. I expect BA, BP, and JS to be much kinder to the Brewers.

5 guys in the top 50 is pretty impressive

4. JASON HEYWARD (OF), BRAVES
9. MARTIN PEREZ (LHP), RANGERS
21. JARROD PARKER (RHP), DIAMONDBACKS
33. FERNANDO MARTINEZ (OF), METS
54. Aaron Crow (RHP) 23 Royals Fort Worth (Independent)
69. Jose Tabata (OF) 21 Pirates Indianapolis (Triple-A)
92. A.J. Pollock (OF) 22 Diamondbacks South Bend (Single-A)

Also dealt 25. Austin Jackson in December.

Tonight's trade to pick up Chris Withrow adds one more to the list. Obviously I see him as a guy who is better then the 100th prospect, but its nice to add a name to the list none the less.

10. JEREMY HELLICKSON (RHP), RAYS
23. JENNRY MEJIA (RHP), METS
61. Mike Leake (RHP) 22 Reds N/A

The rest of the guys on the list are overrated.

2. Stanton
7. Posey
62. Neal

Stanton might be a touch overrated here, and Neal I think deserves better (though obviously his lack of name and pedigree are going to hold him down on prospect lists). It's always fun to get these things going, look for the First Inning top 100 in the next couple of weeks (1. Posey, 2. Stanton, 3. Neal, 4. Robbie Ross, but not really).

25. AUSTIN JACKSON (OF), TIGERS
93. Nick Hagadone (LHP) 24 Indians Greenville (Single-A)

29. PHILLIPPE AUMONT (RHP), PHILLIES
53. Josh Vitters (3B) 20 Cubs Daytona (Single-A)
64. Grant Green (SS) 22 Athletics Stockton (High-A)

3. Desmond Jennings
58. Ike Davis
98. Trevor Reckling
