top 100 prospects for 2010?

[jeffmerk]

Has anyone published a list? I've got winter cutdowns coming up soon in a couple of leagues and I'd like to see if my potential keeper prospects have risen or fallen.

I haven't seen anything besides The Scouting Books monthly list which generally sucks. The good lists will be out around February. Not sure when people here start posting.

Best bet is to list who's on your team and let people comment.

project prospect has top 25 hitters and top 25 pitchers lists

Both leagues are 12 team NL only 5x5 Ultra(17 reserve spots). Jason Heyward, Fernando Martinez, Jose Tabata, Matt Dominguez, Jarrod Parker, Andrew Lambo, Michael Burgess, Jason Castro, Brad Holt and Wilin Rosario are the potential keepers in question.

Pretty much all your guys except Heyward & Dominguez took a step backwards in 09 to some degree. Heyward's your only true elite prospect, but he is the best in baseball. Martinez should be around a top 25 guy. The fact that he's a 20 year old in the majors will allow most to overlook that he didn't hit much. However, the 4th injury in 3 seasons is concerning.

Parker, Dominguez & Castro could both be anywhere from 40-100. Parker could be higher if not for his elbow injury. The good news is it sounds like he'll avoid Tommy John. Dominguez K rate went down in the FSL which is a good sign, but he was overmatched in AA. He's still young and should be ranked higher than his fantasy worth because many think he's a top defender. Castro's ranking could be all over the place. There's a very good chance he's a MLB catcher soon, but how much upside is their?

Lambo and Holt are both fringe top 100 guys with lots of upside. The other guys probably won't make any top 100 lists, but are worth keeping since your league is 200 minor leaguers deep.

I left Logan Morrison off my list. He's $15, as are Heyward and Martinez. Dominguez, Parker, Tabata and Burgess are $10, Castro, Lambo and Holt are $5 and Rosario is $2. The contract for a minor league reserve doesn't start until I activate him or he loses MLB rookie status.

parker is getting tommy john surgery

[jeffmerk]

I saw that, but thanks for the heads up. I'll probably throw him back and try to get him for $5 or less next year.

[jeffmerk]

Lambo is off to a good start in the Arizona Fall League so I'll probably keep him. Is Morrison worth keeping at $15(round 1 of the 17 round reserve draft) or should I toss him back and hope I can get him for $10(rounds 2-6)?
