The Top 50 Position Player Prospects (Based On Other Top 100's)

By Satchel Price Updated

We've decided to push back the top-100 lists one day to make sure that everything is in order for (they're scheduled to go up early tomorrow morning), but I didn't want to disappoint you guys so I've compiled something a little different for your prospecting tastes.The list below has been created based on the top-100 lists of Keith Law, Kevin Goldstein, Frankie Piliere and Baseball America. It uses a point system to assign points to different players based on their position in each evaluators top-100. It's pretty simple: 100 points for No. 1, 99 points for No. 2, 98 points for No. 3 and so on through the list. This list only includes position players for a simplified manner of comparison, but I'll be sure to get up the list on pitchers, and a combined list, later this week.

Don't forget that the top-100 lists from Dave and I will be going up tomorrow (I promise!!), and hopefully this should tide you over until then. Also, a blank spot on the list below indicates that the player wasn't ranked in the top-100 by that evaluator or publication. Thanks!
