My Annual Organizational Top 10 Prospect Lists

[aaron41984]

You have been thanked. JP, I must say you are very generous with your knowledge and when it comes to the time you put into this among many other things you provide to the site, I could only wish my job would allow it. You are a class act and I know that we all value and appreciate your input.

I am shocked to not see Cory Luebke on the Padres list. He has pitched lights out all year through high A and AA and then in the WC as well. Also even though Cody J strikes out alot I think he deserves to be in the top 10 in Atlanta. Nice list though!

 

[Russ S.]

Good Stuff as always JP.

 

[Jaypers]

Thanks for putting in the time JP

How many minor league games do you attend annually?
How about major league games (assuming either a drive down to STL or up to Chi-town?)

Very few of both -- my schedule just doesn't allow for it.

How close was Carlos Peguero on the Mariners top 10 for you?

Teens.

JP,

#1 - Thanks for doing this! I cannot imagine the time and research it takes.

#2 - in the Marlins organization, where would you rank Bryan Petersen? He ended up being the MVP of their championship series this year.

#3 - again in the Marlins organization, looking at Brad Stone's pitching numbers over the past year or two, where would you rank him in their pitching depth?

Thanks, David

Petersen was close; probably early teens. Stone, not so high.

Jaypers, fantastic list as always. On the Yankees list, why Banuelos over McAllister? I feel that even Heathcott should not be over both of them. McAllister was the EL's ERA leader and Banuelos was solid, but not enough to impress me yet. Is Banuelos that legit to beat out McAllister? Thanks, John

Nice list J.P.

i told my boy Chad Tracy that he has to hit your house from Oklahoma next year to get on your radar though

Luebke barely missed. Johnson doesn't impress me.

Hey JP! Where did Kyler Burke fall on the Cubs list? Did you knock him down because he's "too old" to be in Low A? He has such a sweet swing. I just think he will be a late bloomer. LMK.

He would be in the early teens. Age isn't everything, at least not to me.

Hey J.P. Thanks for posting this. It was good read! Where would you have put Ryan Kalish on the Red Sox list? I know he made the BA Prospect Hot-Sheet a few times. He's a local guy here and a friend of a co-worker. I always like to send the co-worker stuff when I see Kalish's name. Thanks!

Wow Posey over bumgarner.

What do you see in Ehire Adrianza? And who is #5

 

[AmishDave]

Great work, J.P.

Any additional info on Chris Archer ? I'd like to know since we share the same last name

Again, thanks for the time and effort put into the list

 

[mredsox89]

Bunch of my PC guys made JP's list

Alonso #1 for the Reds
Weeks #3 for the A's
Gutierrez on the cusp for the Twins

Thanks for posting this JP, I like comparing other board member's opinion's to mine!

Do you (or anyone else) happen to have a copy of last year's list? It would be neat to compare last year's opinion's to this year's (& in turn seeing where you went right or wrong....I love reading the Fantasy Forescast's on Yahoo where they post the week before's prediction's & take a look at the result's)!

Thanks again for sharing your choices with us!
Take care bud, Dave.

I think Tim Beckham ends up a lot higher than 4th on the BA Rays list - any reason you don't like him as much?
