There have been numerous prospect lists published recently by the usual Baseball Websites. Trying to rank some prospects for a forthcoming fantasy draft I got hopelessly confused, so I threw a few sets of results, that were freely available, into a spreadsheet and ranked them. The results seemed interesting enough to share.
The results are below featuring lists from:
Baseball Prospectus
Dayn Perry at foxsports
Jonathon Mayo at MLB
Aaron Gleeman at Hardball Times
Mike Gullo at Minors First
29 names made it onto all five lists :
(* sorry of the table below doesn't fit into your browser properly)
(For the top 100 lists I just took the first fifty entries.)
There were a further 7 players who made it onto 4 lists, 9 who made it onto 3, 10 who were on 2 and 29 who were mentioned just once.
Greg Miller was ranked second by Minors First and third by Mayo, but, not at all by Gleeman.
Kaz Matsui was only ranked by Baseball Prospectus (10th), Adam Loewen only by Mayo (15th).
Anaheim has four players in the top 29 list to the Jays three (Rios, McGowan and Quiroz). Milwaukee has two in the top ten. Other Jays who were mentioned - David Bush got no love from Mayo or Gullo, Gross and Adams were there twice and Hill once.
Joe Mauer is the man.
The spreadsheet I put together is here. Its got all the players not just the top 29.
