rhd's Top 75
Here is my list of top 75 prospects. I am sending this same list to Slurve. The list I update on a regular basis is for roto, so it takes me a while to turn it into a 'real' list. Could use a little more work but Slurve's deadline approaches, so here it is.
It's kind of a 'safe' list, I suppose. But, FWIW, and I think unlike many of the posters here (correct me if I'm wrong), I've seen a lot of these guys play, albeit briefly.
I could have posted a Top 100 (or Top 300, FTM), but when you get past 75 or so, I find it problematic who to include because you start getting to players that you're more and more unsure about.
Comments are welcome (praise, as well as criticism!). I generally visit the board after work, and I'm signing off for the evening, so it may be a while before I respond.

OK
You'll notice that I lot of the better pitchers for this year's draft (Moskos, Latos, Cecil, etc.) I have ranked in the 140-160 range. That's because I dont know how highly regarded they are in relation to other players. As BA finishes their Top 10's, a lot of them probably will move up.

Lillibridge?
Kid finished last season ripping up AAA, has good on base skills and once he gets there, steals bases and doesn't get caught. K-rate looked like it might be an issue earlier this year, but he brought it down to his career level (around 18%) when he got to Richmond. Considering how close he is to the majors, I'd probably have him in my top 50.
