Lindor
Russell
G. Sanchez

Hansen
Hedges
Seager
Hicks
Cowart

Too Low:

Miller
Zimmer
Baez

Hultzen
Marisnick
Syndergaard, by far (#97?!)

 

[cubfanbudman]

Cubs have a cluster there in the 30's but I agree that Baez is too low

 

[padremurph]

Happy to see Hedges at #36 and surprised to see Gyorko at #70. Also glad to see Ross made the list. Seems like others have him completely off their top 100s when he really didn't have that bad of a 2012 and was a 1st round pick in a deep draft.

Dorssys Paulino at 56? Pretty high for someone with little experience. But as an Indians fan, I'll take it.

 

[Huffamaniac]

Surprised but happy to see Kyle Gibson at 41. Arenado no longer in the top 110 is a disappointment

 

[Jaypers]

No Yasiel Puig to be found, either.

Or McCullers.

 

[All The Hype]

Can someone explain to me how Francisco Lindor continues to be ranked in the top 15? I just don't see him belonging anywhere near the top 15.

His glove is gold worthy, will hit for average. Might hit 10-15 HR's. I don't think he is #7 worthy but between 10-15 seems reasonable.

 

[markakis8]

Wait Nolan Arenado is not even in the top 110? How did that happen? And where did Yelich come from to get #6?

 

[VandyDan]

Dorssys Paulino at 56? Pretty high for someone with little experience. But as an Indians fan, I'll take it.

I saw Paulino play quite a bit and talked to his coaches about him. He had one of the most mature approaches I saw in the many NYP games I went to. As a 17 year old. His glove is pretty terrible and he might not have elite power yet. But the way he approached at bats was incredibly impressive. I see him as a corner OF with .285/.400/.485, maybe about 20 HR. He'll be a big leaguer in 3 years. The name I kept hearing was Manny Ramirez, both in ability and in attitude.

Wow, Twins have 7 in the top 65

Also, Keith Law said that the Twins have the 2nd best Farm System after the Cardinals right now. I'm not sure if it is that high, but it is very nice to see after Bill Smith decimated our Farm System while GM. Terry Ryan has cleaned up the Farm pretty quickly after that mess.

Back to the way it should be. Maybe we'll get back to winning in a year or two...or three

Bill Smith signed Sano and Drafted Gibson, Rosario, and Hicks so he can't be blamed for the Twins Minor League issues as far as this list is concerned

Agreed 100%. I watched him play multiple times last year. I would take 75% of Baez over Lindor every day of the week.

Paxton?
