Ranking Change on Mets Top 20 List

After due consideration, I made a ranking change on the Mets prospect list. I jumped Kirk Nieuwenhuis from 14 to 10. I did not change his grade; it is still a C+, and I still think he could end up as a fourth outfielder. But he is younger and more athletic than Zach Lutz and needs to rank ahead of him. That said, I'm worried that Nieuwenhuis' strikeout issue could prevent him from living up to his full potential, so I'm not changing his grade.

Maybe a dumb question, but...

How do you pronounce “Nieuwenhuis,” anyway?
