Colorado Rockies preliminary prospect grade breakdown

Work proceeds on the 2018 Colorado Rockies Top 20 Prospects list. I hope to have the write-up completed tomorrow. Here is the preliminary grade breakdown:

Grade A: Zero
Grade A-: One
Grade B+: One
Grade B: Four
Grade B-: Four
Grade C+: 15
Grade C: A bunch

This is not final. The A- is almost an A and the B+ is almost an A-. That’s Brendan Rodgers and Ryan McMahon. At least two of the Bs have a B+ case. The initial grade run was conservative since Rockies affiliates play in some extreme parks and there’s a lot to untangle in the objective part of the analysis.
