BA's Top 100 Prospects Unveiled

9pm EST on MLBN.

The first 50 will be aired, followed by the entire list on their site.

Price spikes to follow shortly afterwards.

Excited to see what Yankees make it. I would bet Judge, Severino are pretty much guaranteed. Would think Bird will get a look as well for the lower ten.

First basemen have a hard time making these lists, as their value is tied to the bat only.

That is why I said that I would bet he gets a look for the bottom ten. Probaby in the 95-115 range is where he should fall.

No Olson or Bird. As a matter of fact, I believe there aren't any 1B (or Tigers) anywhere.

For the first time ever, a prospect who has yet to sign with a team makes BA's top 100 prospects. And even cracks their top 10.

Welcome, Mr. Yoan Moncada.

Buxton at #2

Which means, Bryant at #1 . Thank you BA. Time to move my 2014 BC auto.

The complete list, sans Moncada (he was only on it due to MLBN's insistence, I'm told.)

Judge at 53, I think he should be higher. Severino at 35 makes me happy. Overall I like their rankings.

I think within the next two years the yankees will crack the top 15 in farm systems, if they haven't already.

They are returning to having a great farm.

What do you think about Barreto? I thought he would be a bit higher thnan 86.

LINDOR TOP 10!!! I should've kept my autos I knew he would be a stud and project out well. I wonder how his price bump will be.

Here's an article on who just missed the top 100 and why.

Apparently Henry Owens has slept with the entire staff's wives.

Kyle Freeland ahead of numerous standouts after him seems extremely generous.

Brian Johnson should be much higher-- esp. after his exceptional year in 2014.

Love how Urias cracks the top 10 at age 18! Kid is really special.

4 Mets in the top 50 and 7 overall ..... Looking good

Severino change up rates at 70 so did his fastball
i am wondering as to why matz was rated higher
severino tools seemed to better matz'

It's interesting that BA ranks Devers #6 and Margot #7 in the BoSox system, but ranks Margot #7 2 and Devers #99 in the top 100. Which one is right?

I think the Red Sox pitching prospects are an interesting case. I have seen and read multiple sources that say Eduardo Rodriguez has the best shot of all of them to be an ace, and that his stuff is the best in the system. BUT, his ranking doesn't show it. Though at 50, his prices might be one of the best values on this entire list.

The Sox list is written by one staff member; the top 100 is compiled by all staff members.
