PrintThere has been about 10 different top 25/50/100 whatever lists posted on this board in the past couple weeks. So here's the aggregate list. I removed the outliers - those players that were only listed twice or less (basically, most of Dewey's list).
I also removed those players who have played a meaningful number of major league games since a lot of people didn't list them at all (so gone are guys like Chacin, Weiters, etc.) Of those in the majors, remaining are Tillman, Matusz, Escobar, Latos
Here's the list
- Jason Heyward
- Jesus Montero
- Michael Stanton
- Justin Smoak
- Buster Posey
- Chris Tillman
- Carlos Santana
- Brian Matusz
- Desmond Jennings
- Logan Morrison
- Madison Bumgarner
- Jenrry Mejia
- Pedro Alvarez
- Dominic Brown
- Fernando Martinez
- Christian Friedrich
- Mat Latos
- Wade Davis
- Matt LaPorta
- Alcides Escobar
- Hector Rondon
- Kyle Drabek
- Jarrod Parker
- Yonder Alonso
- Martin Perez
- Michael Taylor
- Chris Carter
- Thomas Neal
- Jaff Decker
- Nick Weglarz

i assume you summed up each player’s ranks from all the listed and compiled this list based on who had the lowest score
either way, pretty close to my own thinking
Wisdom of crowds
James Surowiecki would be proud.
My thoughts exactly
just finished that book.

nice guy
A couple of year’s behind me in high school and college. Then he went to work for the Motley Fool, for an old fraternity brother of mine. Doubt he’d remember me, but he’d remember my sister, who was in his class in high school. She said he was the kinda guy who would run up to you after grades came out and ask what you got. Of course that was 25 years ago. Liked Wisdom of Crowds and his stuff for New Yorker
Surprised
I thought Jordan Lyles would be higher given how high Friedrich is. Friedrich has been a bit better, but is much older.
Switch
Latos to where Bummy is and I’m good.
neal is overrated
i bet he wouldnt put up numbers like that in A ball even though hes in A+ ball
In case you hadn't seen in other threads
matthewmafa is an abject Dodgers homer, so Giants and Padres prospects are automatically deducted 65 Lasorda points.

Feliz?
He’s pitched only 4 MLB innings, so I assume he’s still eligible.
Is he really not in the top 30?
Like Chacin
Feliz was just excluded from various lists. I’ve already deleted the spreadsheet, but both of those guys were only on about half of the lists.
Both Chacin and Feliz would have been in the top 30
Chacin hasn't pitched too much in the majors
I think he should still be considered. I like the idea though.
Mejia
Was he really ranked highly on everyones list? I thought I read through most of the lists, and I didn’t think I saw him ranked even as high as 12 on any of them.
Wondering the same thing...
I’m pretty sure Mejia made 10 on Deweys, but I guess it’s because so many guys outside of the Top 10 have been ranked in such weird ways

top 50
can you expand the list to top 50? that would be much appreciated and give a little better look at the aggregate…thanks!
When reading this list
I saw Yonder Alonso. Haven’t heard much of him this year. What has he done?
Carlos Guillen, the Latino Nick Punto - BouJouma
Please takeyour latte circle jerk to another thread. -WU
babies are young and under team control for at least 12 years -Billyok
i heard kenny williams' mother bought a lottery ticket and lost so kenny williams traded his mother - Billyok
Did very well
in the FSL, struggling in AA…. Part of it is bad luck (He’s 14-for-53 on balls in play) but the power is lacking.

Surprise, surprise
Matt Eddy said in today’s chat that he’d rank Mejia 5th in the Mets system, behind (in order) FMart, Holt, Flores, and Niese. Obviously, he didn’t put much thought into it, as it was just an offhand chat question, but it gives some credence to the idea that the general community is overrating Mejia. I think we’re going to see much more conservative rankings for him from the “experts” than people here expect.
To be honest, I think it's incredibly stupid to rate Mejia behind Holt.
Mejia should be ranked above Flores and Niese too. I’d still put F! above him, but it’s close.

yea
I noticed that as well. Some analysts just are not sold yet, due to lack of upper-level experience. Also the fact that he hasn’t pitched much recently.
I agree with you that people here tend to overrate him, and I am as guilty of it as anyone. When rating prospects I tend to value ultimate ceiling with very heavy weight. Will be interesting to see more AA starts, but right now I am inclined to rank him as the #1 Mets prospect and top 15 overall.
without removing outliers....
taking last 7 lists—ranking only top 50 (with 50 pts for 1st, 49 for 2nd…etc). For lists with only 25, I did the same…
