Keith Law's 2017 prospect rankings: 40-21 - Keith Law Blog- ESPN

I'm a Yankees fan and all that, but Rutherford is not better than Frazier. NO WAY. Rutherford is easily a top 50, but not at 22. I'd slot him in the 45-50 mark. Cal Quantrill at 23? NO WAY. You're lucky if he cracks the 80 mark on most lists. I cannot take Law seriously right now.

The BO boards are going nuts over Quantrill's high ranking. Law explains that he came back from injury and excelled. Says he was the consensus top pitching prospect of the 2016 class.

And FYI, no sign of Juan Soto, so either he's in the top 20 or he missed. Neither explanation makes sense to me.

Wow, Acuna did break the top 40. That's crazy.

However, still no sign of Soroka so I'm assuming K Law left him off the list which is ridiculous (no way is he a top 20 prospect).

Still, 9 Braves players once Swanson is included (unless K. Law no longer considers him a prospect).

Side note: Glasnow as low as #25 ?

Swanson will be in the top 20. Most likely the top 10. Hell, he's in my personal top 5.

Glasnow struggled some this past year, so he fell a bit. But he's still projected to be a frontline SP.

Quantrill can be good, but that ranking is awful. I cannot believe Soto got snubbed. He's basically Victor Robles 2.0.

So did Hoffman...who has higher up side imo.

Glasnow struggled some this past year, so he fell a bit. But he's still projected to be a frontline SP.

Outside his increased walk rate he still did really well in the minors but he did struggle a bit in the majors, although I pretty much expect that to happen to most pitching prospects when they first reach the major league level (i.e. Urias, Giolito, Berrios). I expected him to dip a bit just like those other names but I still think he's one of the top 3 RHP. I just can't believe that K. Law has Quantrill ahead of him!

Swanson is certainly a top 10 prospect & in mind no lower than 5th. In fact I'd rank him as one of the top 3 prospects but I do realize I'm a Braves fan so...

Smith solid at #29 ends the SP prospects for the Mets...Rosario will be on the top 20 list, but does he crack the top 10?
