Three things.

Could we not call Villalona the Big V? please?

I'm glad to see you ranked Fairley so high.

lastly, who will catch and who will DH/1B at CT next year?  and Why does Pablo look like the Dominican Dmitri Young?

1. I think that you are selling Edlefsen, Pill and Snyder a bit short, especially ranking them behind relative unknown late round picks such as Brewer, Cranston, Bond and Egart.
2. I'd definitely rank Matos ahead of Anderson.
3. I'd Move Cowart and McKae down a few steps
4. I'd move Copeland ahead of Richardson...though I really like Richardson.
5. I'd find a spot for Rohlinger at the back end of the list...I'd probably bump off one of the S-K relievers for him.

Also, it is mildly frustrating that Sickels has waited to do the Giants prospect list until the. very. last. one! I guess some team had to be last.

Thanks for the presenting Your detailed list. Who needs that John Sickels guy anyhow?

I gotta say, I like your list, too.  You certainly give Nate more credit than most (deservedly so), and have good opinions on a lot of the others.  We're definitely a lot closer on the ceiling vs. reality scale than some around here.

I will admit openly that I am putting Alderson ahead of Bumgarner on the SFDugout list.  For me, it's not about those five innings, but it's Bumgarner's throwing style.  He's got a curve, sure, but his arm slot is low enough that I worry about his ability to consistently maintain it for the pitch to be effective.  A lot won't be known until he's seen in the pros, but that was enough difference for me.

I do think you're underrating guys like Snyder and Pucetas.  Snyder has a good mix of pitches, and is effective with them.  Pucetas doesn't have 'stuff', but he may be one of the hardest workers in the minor leagues.  I wouldn't hold them staying in Augusta all year against them, especially if one or both end up in CT this year, as was hinted at the end of the minor league season.

I would also disagree with Schoop, Jose Valdez and Hinshaw being so high.  You make good points on Schoop's struggles...so why so high?  Even if he's young, the hitting so far is very bad.  I get that Valdez is a ceiling pick, but I haven't seen enough glimpses of him putting the package together to think too much of him.  And Hinshaw?  With that control?  Really?

All that said, our lists have a lot of similarities.  We have only one guy at the same ranking (#45 Dan Otero), but quite a few who are just one or two spots away from each other.  You do have 11 players on your list that aren't on mind (the majority of which occur in #37 and higher, so it's not a surprise), but I won't say who until I'm further down releasing the SFDugout list.

Thank you for sharing, though.  It was a great read!
