BF.net Fan Community Top 25 Prospects - 2016 Pre-Season Edition

[Jenkins5]

Hader & Arcia fight for #1 votes

 

Isan Diaz skyrockets to #3 depending on who all come over in trade.

 

Woodruff has most helium of any player in system right now I think. Should receive some pretty high votes

[Austin Tatious]

Can we go to a top 30 list (would match MLB lists) or even top 40?

[Outlander]

I like top 30 to match MLB, don't think it should be a problem for anyone here to come up with 30 names, especially if there are more prospects coming in after trades this week.

Yah I really want to drop Arcia since he has disappointed so badly this season, but I just can't do it. He has a higher ceiling, higher floor, and a way better chance to get to the ceiling.

First glance, really tough rounding out the top 10. It will take a lot of faith in talent over results to place some of these guys where they probably "should" be placed. I may go more with results than projection this time around. Medeiros vs Wang is a textbook case of what I'm talking about.

A couple years ago, the late teens and high 20s on our lists were some very long shot type players. This year, you will have legit MLB starter prospects there.

 

I came up with 50+ players pretty easily on that depth chart.

Just took a look at the last copy of the P50 on this site, to say we've come a long way is an understatement!

I am keeping things at Top 25.

 

I know some people want more, but I've had others say they do not. People who routinely follow the minors have no problem going deep in the system to find prospects, but those who don't track things so closely might struggle - and thus not participate. As a community project, my goal is as many participants as possible.

 

I also want to add that the bigger the list, the more work there is to do for myself. It's not as if I spend five minutes throwing things together - it's a bit of work.

 

So we'll stick to 25 at this time. Maybe in the future we can expand, but for now, we'll stay with 25.

 

Thanks.

MLB Brewers top 30 really changed. Clint Coulter all the way down to 29 behind Chad McClanahan and Wendell Rijo, for example.

I think the BF forum is going to need to take a rest after the deadline passes. I don't know if I have seen this board be collectively (myself included) anxious like this.

[Hammer]

Whoa - this list can just be ripped to shreds and re-constructed after the afternoon the Brewers just had. MOAR PROSPECTS!

[Noche]

"Ranger PTBNL" is having a nice season. He will be in consideration on my list

[Jose Cardenal1]

Biloxi could be awesome next year. Given their youth and lack of dominance this year I would have Phillips, Nottingham & Brinson repeat AA next year. Add in Ray along with Pitchers, Ortiz, Ponce, Bickford and possibly Diplan & Peralta.

[SoCalBrewfan]

I'm intrigued to see what tools the new regime seems to value.

 

Between the last couple of drafts and recent trades, it seems like we have at least a dozen guys with 60 or better fastballs now. That seems like progress...is Bickford now our best fastball?

 

Brinson might be the only 60 power guy though. Am I missing anybody? Diaz and Gatewood are probably in the next tier, along with maybe Coulter, Nottingham, or maybe Erceg?

 

Between Brinson, Phillips, Ray, and Clark, it seems like we could have one heckuva defensive outfield down the road...infield, too, really, depending on how it shakes out with Villar and others.
