Not a bad list. A few disagreements I have would be Yonder Alonso, Freddie Freeman, Jesus Montero, Desmond Jennings, Jordan Schafer, Chris Tillman could all move up. Jesus Montero could move up a lot. Law has something against Alonso, I'm not sure what. Freeman and Alonso both should be ahead of Blanks, and Yonder for sure ahead of Vilalona (just personal preference). Klaw is high on Vitters, and judging by the scouting report one could agree with his ranking, but I would have him drop 3-4 spots based on a rough beginning. Sure there were injuries, and sure there was a rebound, but I'll take a handful over him right now. We all know he is way too high on Jennings. Schafer is ranked way too low. I don't like his bat, but like the glove. Tillman should be ranked higher on the right handed pitcher list. Overall not bad, most I agree with, these are a few exceptions.

Jason Castro is better than JPA?

Keith Law hates J.P.

:lol: He has Friedrich as the 9th best LHP in the minors, sweet.

There's no way Skipworth should be ahead of Montero on the list.

Arencibia ranks 99th on his top 100 list. He cites his poor career OBA as the primary reason. He says most low career OBA are hard to increase, thus the reason for ranking guys such as Francisco and Soto so low. I agree but would say exceptions can occur.

I know, but ever since the Jays drafted him, Law has bashed the pick. He's just not a fan of J.P. And Law used to work for the Blue Jays.
