BA's top 100 prospects over the years

http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/features/at100.html

Hmm, I have to fill up another line and get up to 300 character, so..

  1. 1. Todd Van Poppel, rhp, Athletics
  2. 2. Todd Van Poppel, rhp, Athletics
  3. 7. Todd Van Poppel, rhp, Athletics
I like 1996 too, A's had #'s 84, 85, 87, and 88. In that order it went John Wasdin, then Brad Rigby, then Steve Cox, and finally Miguel Tejada.

A look back at prospect list - Studies?
Does anyone know of any studies done on previous years top prospect lists? Links would be great.
Just curious on how accurate a bunch of these prospect lists were.

Thanks in advance.

BA lists
BA posted their past top 100's for past 16 years:

They are really pretty good as far a track record goes, especially 2003's list.  The top 20 is amazing.  I haven't seen anyone do a study to compare accuracy between sites. Would be interesting to see.
