I think I'm the only person that likes Smoak, Alonso and LaPorta more than Lars.....I feel like he's probably one of the more overrated prospects out there. Not that he isn't good and is a top prospect but there are others that I like more than him and he's always ahead of most all of them.

As soon as I finish putting my pitchers together on my spreadsheet I'll have to put together a top 100 or something of my own to compare.

Solid enough list though!

Thanks for the comments Jason. Do you have a particular reason that you don't like Lars, or is it just that you see the other 3 having better careers?

Well, Smoak, Yonder and LaPorta absolutely dominated college...and they did it in more than 1 year. LaPorta has carried it over pretty decently in his limited minor league time. Lars so far has been real nice but not outstanding, IMO. He's got a mediocore contact(even LaPorta has shown a better contact rate) rate and hasn't displayed overwhelming power, good but not overwhelming to where I have to have him at the top of most lists....don't get me wrong, I love Lars, there isn't much to not like with him but there are just others I'll go after first if I had a choice. Just personal opinion of course....
