I’d like to see your personal opinion of the top 10 prospects at each position.
If not the top 10s by position
How about prospect retros for Gavin Floyd or Glen Perkins?
Propsect Update on Michael Saunders
His stock has really jumped since making a successful transition to AA this year. It would be interesting to hear your opinion on where he is currently and what his potential is.

The Leap
Which prospects you think have really made The Leap into elite status this season, and conversely, those who you think have had a significant enough regression to merit falling off the radar.
A parallel universe piece on someone like Josh Hamilton might be cool, too.
The graduates
Final ranking of players who will NOT be eligible for next year’s list.
Why not some sort of early draft analysis based on who got signed and who didn't
Obviously you can’t grade drafts until years after, but taking a quick look at how teams did with regards to signing, who spent money, who got 1st-3rd round talents later, etc. might be fun.

Some sort of draft evaluation would be nice.

Something on Scott Campbell?
He’s sort of in a late season funk but he’s on the radar and hopefully you can discuss him a little bit.
Thanks.

maybe a crystal ball
of matt wieters neftali feliz or jeremy jeffress.
I am interested to see Wieters because he just keeps on raking and it would be fun to see what kind of career we project for him. Right now it doesn’t look like a matter of bust or boom but really where he could potentially rank among the top hitters in the game.
Feliz or Jeffress because of the immense talent they possess and the likelihood of them harnessing it and succeeding at the big league level.
Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.
I would like to see
A look at who is in the international market for next year. For example, some 15 year olds who will be 16 next season. It would be nice to see this
Top 20 prospects by age group
ie. age 17, 18, 19, etc
Blocked Prospects
Guys that are coming up that may not reach the big leagues with their current clubs (Yonder Alonso blocked by Joey Votto? Bryan Anderson blocked by Yadier Molina? etc.)
Alonso
From what I understand, the Reds believe that Votto can easily handle left.

Steven Strasburg
A profile of him, plus where you’d rank him in relation to the games’ current best prospects.
Obviously he belongs at the top of an amateur list, but where would you put him in an overall top 100 of non-graduated prospects, for example.

Amazing
Strasburg throws mid to upper 90’s with an absolute dirty slider. He’s a Top-5 prospect in the game. A better prospect than David Price at the time he was drafted. I’d rather have Strasburg than just about anyone in the minors.
Tools Whore
Sign Bonds!

How about a comparision , smackdown or what you will on M. Gamel and B. Wood.
The best "4AAA" pitchers and hitters out there...
to me, abortion is not a religious issue, it's a common sense one...
+1
Excellent idea.
Take a look at guys like Nelson Cruz, Dallas McPherson, etc. and give your opinion on who might actually be able to have success. Who is the next Ryan Ludwick or Carlos Pena?

twins
something comparing garza/slowey/baker/perkins/blackburn. which ones are legit, highest upside, biggest injury risk, whatever. i know garza isnt a twin any more but i still lump him in with the others in my mind.
Hey John how about a Prospect Spotlight
On Carlos Rosa?
Suggestions 8-23
I would like to see your overall ratings for the Sept. callups for both NL and AL.
How about..
A piece on “non-prospects” playing well. Guys like Aviles and Montanez who were nobodies but raked their way to the bigs this year.
Rick Porcello
Sorry, a Tigers fan here…but to me Rick Porcello is a very interesting prospect. A lot of people said he was the best arm to come out of high school since Beckett, and while Porcello was certainly good, his low strikeout numbers make me question his ability to be an ace, while the high groundball numbers make me wonder if he can be another Webb or Wang.
Thanks
Prospect review "Corry Paterson"
Although he is knocking on the door of the hall of fame, Paterson’s great career needs to be revisited.

How about something on redrafting
If we could go back to last year’s first round, who would be picked where based on MiLB production?
