Neil Walker-A top 58 mistake

A few weeks ago I released my top 58 position prospects http://www.minorleagueball.com/2008/4/3/389462/my-top-58-position-prospec, as I had them ranked in early Febuary.

There was a major mistake regarding Neil Walker. I had him ranked at #38 with a rating of 8.0. I made a typo regarding his level, which hurt his ARL, which hurt his prospect status. Once I put in the correct level, his new rating would be 9.0 and his ranking would be somewhere between 16-19.

The reason I found the typo is I've got Dewitt and Walker on my minors reserve, and one of them will have to go, more likely sooner than later. As I was researching the stats and looking at my list, I noticed that Walker's level was incorrect. That's a big deal. Dewitt has closed the gap a little, but in early Febuary, Walker had a clear edge.

I'm going to try and hold on to both as long as possible. One thing that's helping out is, very little qulaity pitching has emerged in my league.
