ESPN Top 100 Prospects!

[Jays_Cards]

Not a very good list overall...

 

[darocker80]

Posey in the top 10!

 

[cgilmo]

I do not think Neftali is too high.

 

[masonphillip]

I do not think Neftali is too high.

From the BA perspective he's the #1 prospect in the #1 system and they just absolutely raved about him, #4 is possible I think.

 

[cgilmo]

Neftali is underrated in prospecting circles partly due to his lack of chrome.

I'm no prospecting expert persay...but I do think that it is a pretty decent list.

Those that are saying its a bad list, care to make your own?

You hit the nail right on the head into a steel wall.

Bad list or Good list? The list is an opinion and the opinions of whether it is a good or a bad list come from individuals who, if they made their own list, would be faced with the same good/bad opinionated comments.

 

[ballerskrip]

A top 25 list without Mike Moustakas and Pedro alvarez proves to be worthles......

What an idiot. EPSN, stay away from prospects and the minor leagues, you have NO CLUE

Neftali is underrated in prospecting circles partly due to his lack of chrome.

His Prime Cuts is the single most underrated card out there today.

just missed: Inoa, Wilmer Flores, Jesus Montero, Freddie Freeman, Josh Vitters, Aaron Hicks, Andrew Lambo, someone else that I thought of and just forgot. Cracking the top 50 of any list is saying something. Edit: looks like I forgot Parker, darn it, I messed up. I will say that Stanton is way low on my own list. That's a boo boo

 

[dchurg]

How this list just became even more of a joke, realized Fowler wasn't on there.

Some nice names added!

Updated today- I ran into it on MLB Trade Rumors

Per MLBTR-
"Keith Law's been busy. Matt Wieters, David Price, and Jason Heyward head his top 100 prospects list. The Rangers, Rays, and A's are atop his farm system rankings, with the Tigers, Nationals, and Astros bringing up the rear."

Here is your Top 25:
1. Matt Wieters
2. David Price
3. Jason Heyward
4. Neftali Feliz
5. Travis Snider
6. Madison Bumgarner
7. Lars Anderson
8. Buster Posey
9. Tommy Hanson
10. Rick Porcello
11. Tim Beckham
12. Colby Rasmus
13. Carlos Santana
14. Josh Vitters
15. Justin Smoak
16. Fernando Martinez
17. Eric Hosmer
18. Andrew McCutchen
19. Brett Wallace
20. Brett Anderson
21. Derek Holland
22. Carlos Triunfel
23. Logan Morrison
24. Trevor Cahill
25. Desmond Jennings

Wow, 5 razor (and maybe 1-2 future) Razor exclusives... I like this list... Happy prospecting... BG

How bout some hints?

 

[HoustonTeams4Me]

Everyone has already got a 1st Year auto besides Triunfel & Hanson (& Hanson is probably too close to the bigs to get your money's worth out of as an exclusive...I'm guessing Neftali Feliz & Triunfel since they're not in Topps as an auto)...?

Edit: Nvrmnd...I just realized there are a couple without "auto's" but they do have a 1st yr Topps card..

 

[card-treasury]

What other than to get drafted first overall has Tim Beckham done to be ranked ahead of players such as Colby Rasmus?

Ranking Hosmer behind Josh Vitters, to me (and I'm still, believe it or not, entitled to my opinion in the US of A), is absolutely as insane as Johnny Depp's depiction of Hunter S. T. in that wacky Vegas flick.

As a Rays' fan since the beginning, I certainly hope he meets those standards next year, but for now it's pure speculation and credit given for draft position.

I'll take Aaron Hicks over Tim Beckham any day o' da week.

Ranking prospects is all about what the player WILL do, not what they've already done. A novel concept, huh?
