If so, my next 3 to finish up.
Brentz, Green & Pastornicky
Brentz: I like him better than the just elected Darnell. I could see a Ludwick, Willingham, Bay type career.
Green: The move to OF hurt his stock, as did signing Cespedes & Crisp for CF. I think the former SS becomes a solid UTL player at least.
Pastornicky: He’s a safer play than fellow Braves farmhand Simmons who made this list 30 spots ago.

We are definitely stopping at 75

Pastornicky

Is the last player in my personal top fifty positional prospects list not on the community list yet. Doesn’t look like he makes it into the top 75.
Although I am confused with the Hedges love. This is the same all glove, little bat draft prospect, right?
