Updated Prospect Ranks

[Captain Furtah]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know of a place to find prospect ranks updated through the first 2 months of the season? My dynasty league has a draft and a lot of prospects have been added to the pool, want to make sure I have the most up to date info...

Thanks, FYI here are the guys in the draft - who is performing well?

Jake Arrieta
Chris Carter
Hank Conger
Trevor Cahill
Alex White
Brandon Allen
Jason Castro
Jiovanni Mier
Jarred Mitchell
Jordan Lyles
Jay Jackson
Austin Romine
Zach Wheeler
Gorkys Hernandez
Tim Alderson
Logan Forsythe
Allan Craig
Brandon Erbe
Jonathan Lucroy
Michael Pineda
Brent Morel
Jesus Flores
Tim Wheeler
Ryan Rohlinger

Going to MiLB.com and checking stats would work.

I've done that, but I don't want to bump someone up too far for having a great start to the season. That said, what they've done to date is an important part of their development so...

I can do my own obviously, but I was wondering if there were other experts out there that I could lean on as well...

If only there was a forum specifically for Minor League & College Baseball.

Great idea!! The next step would be to get people to actually post enough to make it useful.

ProjectProspect is the only one that I know that regularly updates a prospect list. But their philosphy isn't always fantasy baseball friendly. They put a larger weight on a players floor and defensive ability than most other lists.

As for forums and my sarcasm above, hope this isn't blasphemous, but the best minor league forums are not here at the cafe. They are at minorleagueball.com and the previously mentioned project prospect.

Keith Law just did one the other day, you gotsta be an Insider, or maybe you can find them posted somewhere online. Not too much different from the preseason ranks, as 4-6 weeks is a small sample size.

Thanks for the link.

We've been doing prospect rankings and analysis for over three years now, but there are people who've been at it for a lot longer.

Hopefully we can continue to attend over 100 college/minor league games a year as a staff, capture tons of video, conduct statistical studies and learn from people in the game. I've established quite a few contacts in baseball over the last few years who have helped further my knowledge. And we try to take a communal approach at Project Prospect. Energy and enthusiasm make a good foundation for any effort, right?
