you're showing your bias, john

the detractors of pretty much your whole list are, in each case, mostly based around the fact that these kids are so young and have so short a track record.

wouldn’t you much rather rehash the delmon young/alex gordon debate?

Where's Reid Brignac?

I’d love to hear why he’s a doubles machine, but can’t take a walk.

+1

I would love to see more reports on guys who are closer to the majors. They are generally the most disputed prospects in baseball (i.e. Stewart, Wood, Brignac).

young prospects definitely more interesting

Good list. I can’t wait to read your take on J. Montero. More established minor leaguers are easier to project in the bigs , so its definitely a harder exercise to project the younger guys. Some of these guys haven’t filled out yet. Jed Lowrie might be the guy easiest to project since he’s a college product. But alot of these guys are gonna be fun reads.
