Rookies and Lost Souls
I was hoping someone would mention this at some point this offseason, but no one has.
Does anyone else remember the project we embarked on last year where we ranked players who had lost their prospect status, but whose major league fates were still very much up in the air (e.g. Casey Kotchman or Edwin Jackson)?
I think that it can be even more interesting to prospect these kinds of players than actual prospects because there's a ton of volatility. Every great prospect burnout tears up the lower minors, and some continue to succeed all the way to the top, while for others, the success slows down. Who will sink? Who will learn to swim?
I know it would be a lot of work -- and I probably wouldn't want to do it all -- but I thought I'd bring it up. I'd certainly help shaping the list and revising the rules and running a few of the polls. Is there any interest in doing this again?

i've got 10 teams left to evaluate, after which i will rank the entire organizations against each other, and after which i will rank the top 75 pitchers under 25 years old.
