Rating the MLB rookie class of 2015

Last night we published the Top 75 MLB Prospects for Mid-season 2015 list. The rankings did not include players who have exceeded rookie qualifications or who are reasonably expected to do so by the end of the year. There's a gray area there however, and there have also been numerous requests to do a separate list that includes 2015 rookies.

The 2015 rookie class has certainly been outstanding so far. Here's a top 10 ranking focuses on long-term value. As always your mileage may vary.

This is not intended to be comprehensive and doesn't provide detailed analysis, but it is intended to start a conversation.

We will be starting our mid-season reviews of every organization later this week and we'll weigh in then on the outlook for each rookie including the Devon Travises and Matt Duffys of the world.
