I am going to start up with the Top 20 Pre-Season Prospect Reviews, beginning tomorrow with the Minnesota Twins. The schedule looks like this:
Thursday: Top 20 Twins Prospects in Review
Friday: Top 20 Cubs Prospects in Review
Saturday: Top 20 Rays Prospects in Review
Sunday: Top 20 Dodgers Prospects in Review
Monday: Top 20 Blue Jays Prospects in Review
Tuesday: Top 20 Braves Prospects in Review
Wednesday: Top 20 Angels Prospects in Review
The exact days may vary according to other work committments, but that's the basic plan. I will try to fit some other features in there as well, so feel free to make suggestions. Prospect Retros seem like a good idea, so name some candidates you would like to see.

Prospect Retro
Given his somewhat-surprising season and recent All-Star selection: Nate McLouth

Ryan Ludwick
ditto for Ryan Ludwick. He was a pretty well regarded prospect I believe.

He is partying too much with Cano
No lie.
Josh Hamilton is better than you.

Brandon Snyder
He is on a tear in High-A right now. Would like to see what John thinks of Snyder’s big league prospects.

Minnesota Twins top 20 review: Nick Blackburn
Seems like BA got this kid right. Curious to see what you have to say about him since he was a C+ guy in your book.
Go Pirates!!!

Prospect retro?
How about the obvious, Josh Hamilton?

Ian Kinsler
Out of nowhere he hit .400 in the Midwest League. Now he’s an MVP candidate. I don’t remember him being a top prospect, so it would be interesting to see your thoughts on his development.

re: Top prospect status
Kinsler was a B+ prospect for a while there.

Yea I'd love to see a Kinsler retro.
This is the Texas Rangers, professional destroyers of hope, we're talking about. - BAC

Dioner Navarro
Did anyone see him as an all star?

Vince Mazzaro
How about a piece on Mazzaro, he went into the season as a fringe prospect and has turned himself into a guy that is right on the cusp of the majors

Not a prospect retro, but....
Daniel Murphy (NYM) has changed positions from Third Base to Second Base in recent weeks for the Binghamton Mets. This is on top of a breakout year at the plate, hitting for a .315/.377/.481 line with 50 R, 19 2B, 1 3B, 11 HR, 59 RBI, and 11:4 SB:CS ratio and a 33:44 BB:K ratio.
What are your thoughts on him, a “Prospect Profile” would be nice. Does this make him a B prospect now?
