[Grounded Polo]

Really excited to see Wheeler getting his due here, the guy has been phenomenal this year, think he has every chance to be a front line starter that dominates for years to come. I'm guessing he'll be a September call up because the current Mets regime is actually intelligent and won't rush up prospects for the sake of possibly saving their jobs if the player works out.

Bundy deserves the #1 overall ranking, hope he actually has to try in High A. Considering how many great pitching prospects that Baltimore has screwed up, it's nice to see them taking a conservative approach.

[RedHopeful]

Three things:

1) I don't get Starling. Yeah, upside yada yada yada. Hasn't played in a real game yet, dude! Considering his list favors the guys who have gotten off the hot starts, he must really like his Bubba.

2) Arnaud = 4?

3) Am happy as a lark though to see Billy Hamilton get some love.

[Grounded Polo]

Arnaud is definitely a ranking where real life and fantasy interests diverge. Arnaud is a great defensive catcher (which boosts his ranking) who also looks like a really good hitter but in the fantasy world, it's hard for any catcher to have that much value due to their position forcing them out of so many games and will he hit well for any hitter or just as a catcher? In a fantasy draft, I'll take anyone else in the top ten over him.

[TheBull]

Never really understood the Lindor in the top 25 ranking, I think he will be a solid SS with the glove, but his bat is less than desirable.

[PlayingWithFire]

Never really understood the Lindor in the top 25 ranking, I think he will be a solid SS with the glove, but his bat is less than desirable.

Besides Profar and Machado I cannot think of another SS prospect that's better than Lindor. Lindor is VERY young for his level, him holding his own is more than good enough.
