Tim Alderson at #6

is a HUGE snuff imo. I was kinda mad when I read that…

I only have a signature because I recognize everyone else by their sigs, not their usernames..

Who would you drop to move him up on the list?

every one of those guys ahead of Alderson, except for Chacin, were promoted from A+, but only Alderson was in his first season of pro ball (I don’t count the 5 innings last year). I believe he was also the youngest of the top 6. Arguably, he could be first on the list, but for those who don’t think he profiles as a number 1 starter, then his placement seems appropriate.

Bonds stands alone.

Or did someone kill T2?

Wow someone other than this lot likes Nate!

Eastern League List

is a joke.

Why? EL had some good talent in it this year.

I meant that the list is a joke. The order of some of the players is ridiculous. Daniel Bard is a freaking reliever and he’s #9? Austin Jackson at 10? Lou Marson ahead of Pablo?

Sandoval

He shows a willingness to take what pitchers give him, and though he swings hard he shows good plate discipline.

the plate is HUGE.

Bonds stands alone.

Forgive me if I’m missing something, but Baseball America hasn’t yet published the rankings for any of the AA or AAA leagues. The latest on their website is the Carolina League. How did you get the top 20 lists for the EL and the PCL? If subscribers get early dibs then where the hell is my special treatment? I’m a web subscriber!

I think the magazine is already out and has all the rankings in print.
