I can't recall a preseason thread this year in which posters put up their own prospect rankings. My apologies if I missed this. Well what better time to start a thread than now? Feel free to put up however many prospects you like...I find that after 30 is a bit of a crapshoot. Feel free to add or adjust as the year progresses as well.
My current top 30 (May edition)
1. Rafael Devers 2. Jay Groome 3. Sam Travis 4. Travis Lakins 5. Josh Ockimey 6. C.J. Chatham 7. Mike Shawaryn 8. Michael Chavis 9. Brian Johnson 10. Bobby Dalbec
11. Shaun Anderson 12. Nick Longhi 13. Roniel Raudes 14. Jalen Beeks 15. Aneury Tavarez 16. Ben Taylor 17. Chandler Shepherd 18. Jamie Callahan 19. Ty Buttrey 20. Lorenzo Cedrola
21. Darwinzon Hernandez 22. Austin Rei 23. Bryan Mata 24. Kyle Martin 25. Danny Mars 26. Trey Ball 27. Josh Tobias 28. Steve Nogosek 29. Tate Matheny 30. Jake Cosart

1-10: Expect to be above-average Major Leaguers, likely all-stars. 11-30: Expect to be average to above-average Major Leaguers. Not all stars, but solid contributors and regulars. 31-50: Expect to be average to below-average Major Leaguers that stay in the MLB, but may be backup fielders or emergency relievers.

WOW interesting one has mata rated 4th and the other does not have him in the top 10. Flores is rated 3rd on one and 10th on the other. Dalbec 15 on one and 7 on the other. To me that is some big differences.

Let me know thoughts:
1. Devers 2. Groome 3. Chavis 4. Flores 5. Houck 6. Mata 7. Beeks 8. Shawaryn 9. Scherff 10. Ockimey
I don't get the hype about Travis. Based upon the position he plays, I don't ever see him putting up numbers better than Moreland and all anybody does on here is rip Moreland apart, yet he's a very good fielder and is playing w a broken toe.

I'd be way more excited about Travis if he were a CF or 2B. As a 1B, I'm not excited and definitely would not hand him the job next year. I'd have a different Plan A.

Quick math working off the front page, I'd put Johnson and Dalbec in the top 10 and take Shawaryn and Beeks out. I'd leave the top 4 as is but shuffle 5-10 (just don't know exactly how yet) with Houck over Mata. I'd also give Devers a contract extension.

Well if they said Longhi wasnt putting up enough power numbers to be a 1B ......Travis isn't either then as far as I can see

I'd be way more excited about Travis if he were a CF or 2B. As a 1B, I'm not excited and definitely would not hand him the job next year. I'd have a different Plan A. Yeah, I believe in his cup of coffee he hit 1 wall ball and got 1 ball to the warning track. I love his batting eye and contact ability, and he deserves to be a highly ranked prospect for his age-advanced MiLB production. But there's so much pressure on his AVG/OBP in the majors to be outstanding, not just good. It'd be one thing if he had notable defensive chops but he doesn't. It's all on the hit tool right now. Now that Dalbec and Ockimey have been dropped, the site rankings are about where I'd have them. I'd probably push Darwinzon Hernandez higher since he seems like he has an interesting floor if fast-tracked in relief. His velocity + delivery combo is tough.

I'm fine with dropping Travis but I wouldn't be dropping him below Ockimey. Also think Thompson and Scherff ahead of Shawaryn. Beeks, Chavis, Mata are the big movers for me this year.

He still has 2 options left, so you don't need him next year.
