Ok, here are my first impressions.
1) No surprise Wieters would edge out Price. List your EEE's if you got any. If not, go for Razor's and USA's.
2) Who knew that a shortened 2008 season, plus mediocre numbers led to a #3 overall ranking? I like Razzy very much, but I cannot figure out what made him jump since last year. Was it the added muscle? He struggled with the Mendoza line through the first couple of months, too.
3) Brett Anderson ranking as high as he did was a bit surprising. Great arsenal, but lacking in athleticism.
4) Crapshoot between Hanson and Heyward - no surprise they came one after the other.
5) Bumgarner deserved better. He's a Top 5 guy for me easily.
6) I think Tillman should have been in the teens, but that's just me.
7) Tim Beckham, in retrospect, was ranked well here. There are those who think he should be in the teens, but he's a long way away from the show.
8) Parker and Holland should have been a bit higher.
9) Looks as though Cutch's stock fell in a few people's eyes. He had a better season than Colby, too. Didn't help.
10) I think Hicks would be in my 21-30 range. Quiet talent.
11) Nice to see Blanks make the Top 50 (barely).
12) Vitters at # 51 will piss off a few people here, I bet.
13) Walden would've been in my 41-50 range.
14) Max Ramirez was TX's # 10 overall prospect in the Handbook, yet he made the list, above Beltre (#7), Main (#8) and Borbon (#9). Weird.

Not really. Him being on the list is a accomplishment. Now in two or three years maybe.
If there is one person who should be higher or could move up a lot this season is Brett Lawrie.

Also happy to see Gerardo Parra break the list in the 80s as I have about 180 of this card.

Nothing on this list is too crazy....kind of expected based on the top 50's.

Just a few thoughts.
Rasmus ranking is a friggin joke!!
Dominguez should be listed a bit better.
Holland should have been better.
I think Ike Davis should have been in the 80-100.
I hate how BA cares about ceiling more then actuall production.
Did I read it to fast and totally miss Engel Beltre or did they?
Inoa ranked that well without ever throwing a pitch?
More complaints to come.

Yeah, and spell Dexter FOWLER right, dammit.
I just glanced over the list; I have nothing of substance to contribute right now.

4 Phillies in the Top 69...I'm in shock, yet somehow disappointed that Michael Taylor didn't sneak into the back end of the list.
