Two unrelated questions for John

Hey John, 2 quicks questions for ya:

  1. I apologize if this has been asked, but if BJ Upton hadn't played in the bigs in '04 and thus still qualified for your book, where would he rank on the Top 50 Hitters list, and what sort of grade would he have?
  2. Have you considered doing a ranking of prospects by position? It's pretty easy to go through your pitcher list and do this...but it might be fun to see how you'd rank the top, say, 10 catchers, shortstops, etc. Everyone loves lists, after all! Another idea might be prospects by league. I know it would mean more work for you, but I'm sure it would generate a lot of interest as well.
Thanks!

Upton would be in the top 10 and probably the top 5. Grade A-. If he had a position it would be straight Grade A.

Yes I have considered such rankings but I never seem to have the time to do it right.
