What a resurrection for Monte Harrison. I always liked that kid and am glad to see him re-capturing his ceiling projections.

I can't monitor eBay from work, so does anyone see any price spikes yet for any of these guys?

Yikes...where to begin...Here are some thoughts. Law has become my least favorite guy lately.

Tatis Jr. at 3 over Robles, Eloy and Gleyber? Stop smoking crack, Law. Yes, Tatis Jr. should be in the top 20, but that's too generous.

Gore at 14? No way. Over Keller, Honeywell and Sheffield...Gore should be in the 40-50 range IMO.

I am loving that Burnes ranking, however. He doesn't get enough love as far as I'm concerned. I had him at 44, but I'm not surprised to see him lower.

Jesus Sanchez at 34? Nah...try 80-100 if you're lucky.

Pache at 57? Yes, he can be top 100 material, but he's not there yet. The power hasn't been tapped into. The ranking is premature.

Soroka at 60? No way. He outperformed every Braves pitcher in the system except for Gohara. I had him in the 30-40 range.

Finally someone who loves Wilson as much as I do. This is Law's best ranking so far.

Hays at 79? Wow...that's bad.

Chris Rodriguez at 82...nothing more needs to be said

Brandon Marsh and Logan Allen are nice prospects, but definitely not top 100 worthy yet

Barreto at 94...

Heliot Ramos at 95 is too high. He's definitely in the 70-80 range.

Good to see that Nate Pearson made it, but I see him easily in the 40-50 range. He has a chance to make it to the show this season.

Yeah, this was a ridiculous ranking by K. Law. I could bring up all the things I perceive wrong about his top 100 but it would take forever.

He has the entire Braves system out of his whack but at least he included Bryse Wilson & Joey Wentz, something BA failed to do. Pache at 57? Really? Shouldn't be on there at all (at least not yet). And when did Kyle Wright become the Braves pitching prospect? :???:

I'm a big believer in Tatis and would go as far as saying he's a top 10 prospect (somewhere near the bottom)...but ranking him third is kinda ridiculous.

Quite shocking about Hays. BA has him at 21.

K.law can be a bit of a troll- I think he likes to ruffle feathers with a lot of his prospect rankings.

I agree with Jbone17 -Pearson is a stud, he should easily be in the 40-50 range.

If Michael Chavis doesn't play enough in Boston this year he should see a huge jump next year provided he builds on 2017. Sub 75 on both lists.
