Yeah, I wouldn't have Swanson ahead of him and the Crawford circle jerk needs to end.

Not right now. Story could easily be a 4+ win player in 2016. That is pretty damn good, but I think it is kind of silly to worry about it. You can always make room for a player high on the defensive spectrum. The only place truly locked up in Colorado is third base.

way too many 2016 draftees on the list and Moniak at 34 is nuts.

Being 1.1 always seems to be an automatic intro in the top 40 for no other reason than being 1.1.

I still like Corey Ray a lot, but he has struggled in A+ ball so far.

Kevin Maitan starts out at a modest #8 in the Braves top 30.

Braves top 30 is a bit of a mess imo outside the top 8 (though I would probably shuffle the order of those top 8 around, I think they are the 8 best prospects).

Demeritte, Gant, Banuelos, Bird, Dykstra all way too high imo. Other than Demeritte none should be in the top 30.

Acuna and Peterson too low.

Pache, Cruz, Weigel are nowhere to be found somehow. All are top 20 guys imo.

Would also rank Cumberland over Herbert.

So Carl Edwards qualifies and is ranked as the #15 cubs prospect. Callis not even bothering to keep up with results.

Strange seeing three of Texas' top five prospects be pitchers.
