Hunter not making top 10 is insane. I know I am biased, but damn.

He'll be one of my questions in the chat this afternoon.

I thought Austin Ross had a shot at making it as well.

ask about Heckathorn too. He had some shoulder issues. I talked to him before the end of the season and he seemed bummed.John Hart said on MLB network that Heck was his best pitching prospect on the Brew Crew.

Hunter Morris superfractor auto on the bay! Not my auction!

I love the list, I don't have much of a disagreement with any of the rankings suprisingly. For me, I would switch Jungmann and Bradley because of Bradley's upside but I know Jungmann has the numbers to back up his ranking.

I would assume Hunter Morris and Heckathorn are 11-12.

I'm liking #1 :mrgreen:

Tom Haudricourt: Heckathorn dropped all the way to No. 26. He was a big disappointment after moving up to AA Huntsville. His WHIP was terrible (1.71) and he just couldn't put away hitters. Some scouts have thought all along that he is more suited to relief work in shorter stints and that probably will have to be considered now because he just doesn't maintain his stuff over several innings. Considering the bust that Eric Arnett appears to be, it won't be good for that draft if Heckathorn also goes south

I don't know if I would put Jungmann or Bradley above Thornburg. I know it's pure speculation, but Thornburg has proven he should be up near the top of the list.

What are people's thoughts on D'Vontrey Richardson? The reason I ask is that he was a QB at my beloved alma mater, Florida State. Never really got to show his stuff, so he smartly decided to sign when the Brewers drafted him. I think he was an 8th round pick, but I could be wrong.

Tom Haudricourt:Hunter Morris was heavily considered at the bottom of the Top 10 and we finally placed him at No. 14. The Brewers like him a lot. Depending on who succeeds Prince Fielder, who I think will leave as a FA this winter, and what the commitment is to him, Morris could be the Brewers' first baseman in a few years. Much like Fielder, he has pop but is not a great defender.

- I like Devo- Had a much better year in the FSL- He needs to be able to use his speed more on the bases though

Thanks for the list, jp.

Are there schedules on which team will be available, and if so, when would the list for Boston red sox pop?

This is probably the worst chat on BA so far.

Totally thrilled w peralta being number one.
Been stocking up with no problem during the yr. Hope that will change.

One thing Haudricourt isn't shy about is revealing exactly where prospects ranked. During today's chat, he tipped off where 23 of them placed. Other chat moderators will tell you that a prospect fell in the "11-15 range", or the "11-20 or 21-30 range", or simply that he "made the top 30".

Here's what we know:

11. Manzanillo
12. Fiers
13.
14. Morris
15.
16. Kentrail Davis
17. Goforth
18.
19. Rogers

21. Richardson

I noticed that as well. Thanks for keeping track!

I'm guessing Gindl would have to be either 13 or 15 and Michael Reed should be on the list somewhere as well.

Keep an eye on Orlando Arcia.
