FYI: You won't see these players on any of the League Top 20 lists, due to a lack of enough IP/PA's.

Mark Appel, rhp, Astros
Dylan Bundy, rhp, Orioles
Nick Burdi, rhp, Twins
Byron Buxton, of, Twins
Rusney Castillo, of, Red Sox
Brandon Finnegan, lhp, Royals
Kyle Freeland, lhp, Rockies
Marco Gonzales, lhp, Cardinals
Nick Howard, rhp, Reds
Jorge Soler, of, Cubs
Carlos Rodon, lhp, White Sox
Kyle Zimmer, rhp, Royals

Finnegan was damn near the ALWC MVP --- he shouldn't be on a prospect list, he should be on the Royals best ever draft picks list!

it seems to me if Miguel Almonte had a really good pitching coach that he would become an elite pitcher. I love how he changes speeds all the time from fastball to change-up and keeps the hitters on their toes constantly

If BA wasn't so focused on ceiling, Josh Bell could very well have been number one in the FSL.

It is so difficult to gauge pitching results in the PCL, as it is such a hitters league due to ballpark configurations and climate conditions. The league avg. ERA was 4.64 this year.

Still nice to see Syndergaard topping the list of PCL pitchers....

Nice lists, I suppose, but do they actually affect anyone's card collecting here? If so, I'd love to know how.
