For what it's worth, the changes from what we had up on, say, Sunday are a bit different than that, I'd say. For reference for those reading: web.archive.org/web/20150314203410/http://soxprospects.com/We'll be talking about the changes we've made following our trip to Florida on the next podcast, which should drop tomorrow night. |

Hi Chris, Are you back from FL? Enjoying New England spring? :-) The archive rankings you posted from Sunday appear to be the same as the last ones I have from 2/6. I didn't use those for comparison purposes though. (They're actually shown in the in the spreadsheet that is linked in my original post because I was too lazy to change how that worked.) In my post above I compared the newest data to the 9/26 rankings. My reasoning was that during the off season the rankings were not (or at least didn't seem to be) changed on a regular basis. Most changes seemed to be due to trades or other personnel moves. I don't think there were too many exceptions to that so I figured there was more informational value in what happened since September than in what happened since last week. Does that make sense? I'm willing to rewrite the above if that's what folks would prefer. I do have the data, just made an editorial decision on what to post. - Dick |

I didn't use those for comparison purposes though. I was just pointing these out for those who were just going to casually look at the changes and assume that those were the changes we made after our trip was over. Using September doesn't take into account, for example, changes we made following Instructs. A lot of the big differences are in the lower half (for example, Aybar and Basabe were ranked following instructs in the top 50), but there are differences in the top half (Kopech, actually, has been tenth since Instructs, although he technically jumped Cecchini in this last update). You can do whatever you want to do. Like I said, just pointing out for those who didn't catch your prior updates over the offseason and wanted to see what we actually did today. Thanks Dick. |

I guess there were more prior changes than I remember. If folks do want to see the differences between the FL update and the previous, it's in the spreadsheet you'll go to if you click on "Details". |

DD - we are switching the site over from off-season to in-season mode today and/or tomorrow. No actual rankings changes will happen, but it will appear on the ranking pages and the history page that these are the official "season start" rankings. They're aren't necessarily the final season start rankings. We're still getting some scouting notes in here and there and reserve the rights to make minor tweaks to the initial rankings until the first pitch of the minor league season. Please don't release a rankings change update until Friday or after.
Thanks!
Mike

Yes, no you can still tally the community rankings.
