#1, 4, and 5 makes me happy. I'm glad I wasn't the only one on the Gibson banwaggon.

Kind of surprised to see Gibson as the second pitcher, but I'm not complaining!

Wow, Jackson has fallen all the way down to 80 and Bellamy and Lawson don't even make the list.

Edit: They're all juniors so that probably has something to do with it

As a favor to those of you who don't subscribe to BA and want to see a player's scouting report, I'd be happy to PM it to you, but no more than three players per person.

PM me if interested.

I guess I like Maddox more than just about anyone. TONS of potential there IMO.

#23 Hitter makes me happy.

If anything, it would be SOPHOMORES that would fall down the list because they have the leverage to come back. 99.9% of drafted college players ARE Juniors ... that is the first year they can come out the vast majority of the time (Age 21 before draft day).

But back to your original post ... almost every player listed on that top 100 list that is not a high-schooler is a 4-year college JUNIOR. Sophomores have all the leverage because they can return to school without hurting their stock as much. SOME juniors return (i.e. Matt Laporta, Jeff Larish) but need to KILL IT senior year in order to help their stock, because when they are re-drafted they have literally ZERO leverage, and have already lost a year of development in the MLB club's eyes.
