Based on his age-relative-to-league markers and his excellent performance, Alomar would definitely have ranked as a Grade A prospect during his minor league tenure, at least following the 1986 and 1987 seasons. He may have rated at A-/B+ early on, following the '85 season, when it was unclear how much power he would develop. In any case, he was an outstanding prospect, both in retrospect and if you go back and look at what was thought at the time.
