Is Evan Longoria the No. 1 Prospect?

[shortsavage]

Evan Longoria, 20, put up an OPS of 1366 in 33 A- at bats. He then went on to post a 1020 OPS in 110 A+ at bats. And now (8/14) he has a 1143 OPS in 37 AA at bats.

With this amazing tear - I think he had his one bad weekend when he came to play UC Davis back in April - and a good chance that the Long Beach State grad has a future at second base, has Evan Longoria become baseball's No. 1 prospect?

Hes been great, no doubt, but its still a very limited amount of at bats to elevate him to the #1 overall prospect. He definetely has climbed up my rankings but there are still a bunch of guys Id rank above Longoria at this point

You really think even Jose Tabata is a better prospect than Longoria right now?

I'll take Jay Bruce and Justin Upton, but I don't think I'm in the minority if I call saying that Tabata is a better prospect than Longoria a little crazy - and I own Tabata, not Longoria, in my dynasty league.

Hehe, it's a hard knock life, and you don't pass my credibility test if you're going to stick to your guns on that.

Longoria would rank around 10-12 on my list, at least for now. If he continues this ridiculous pace, he'll probably continue to climb into the top 7.

Longoria has certainly been impressive the last two months, but he is still far from being the #1 overall prospect in the game. Let's revisit this a year from now once he has played a good chunk of time above A ball and pitchers have had a chance to adjust to him.

And I dont think Im in the minority saying that calling Longoria the #1 prospect is a little crazy. Everyone has their own opionions when it comes to prospects, they are by no means a sure thing and everyones different opinions is what makes it interesting

I might not rank Tabata over Longoria after Tabatas injury and Longorias continued hot play, but the last time I updated my prospect list Tabata was in front of Longoria

I was dissapointed that I missed Jose Reyes 3 HR game, but damn now I might not pass shortsavages credibility test, is there even a reason to get up tommorrow morning?
