Perhaps the Sox can get 5 players on the top 100s by year's end. As has been mentioned a few times on the podcast, the draft is going to bump a lot of these guys out, so I’d say finishing with two is more likely than finishing with five (but really I think it’ll be three or four still) There will be graduations between now and then too, though. Just a quick glance at the MLB Pipeline list and Elly De La Cruz, Eury Perez, Bobby Miller, Gavin Williams, Royce Lewis, and Henry Davis are all basically sure bets to graduate, and there are at least a half-dozen others who are in the majors right now.

Hadn't thought of that, good call. Not that it really matters all that much at the end of the day if a guy is prospect rank 105 vs 95 but as a fan it is certainly more fun seeing a higher number of top 100 prospects for your team.

I mean that silly rookie of the year incentive rule makes it matter. Rafaela or Yorke or Drohan making the team in a pinch and then banging out a big year and ending up ROY is definitely not inconceivable.

Oh ya completely forgot about that. Will never make sense to me why a player would have to be on top 100 list if they meet all other criteria.

It's because the point of the rule was to disincentivize teams from playing service time games with players who should be in MLB, not to reward teams for having a ROY or young MVP or Cy candidate. The players you're really focused on for that are only even top prospects, which is why they did 2 of 3 top 100 lists. That's why, as annoying as it is that Yoshida can't get them a pick, that's an example of the system working correctly - he's not who they're worried about.

I sort of get that but if a team calls up a rookie out of camp and plays him all year and they get the ROY then I still feel like they should get the pick.

That 45 hit on Roman seems low too!

It's also interesting that Ceddanne is not on it. I'm curious where he is on their Top 150.

Going to be hard to keep Perales off the list if gets promoted to Greenville and keeps shoving.

There's just no way I'm buying that Yorke is a better prospect than Rafaela

The comments with those rankings just seem out of date. It says MM has begun to turn a corner, but he's OPS'ing only .668 since being called up to AA more than a month ago. I think the corner turning the note mentions refers to his time in Greenville.
Also, Baby Raffy has had a good six weeks or so, at both AA and AAA. That's probably not captured in these rankings, which is why his name isn't listed.

I don't like doing this, but... These things are all just laughably, "have you even seen this guy play?" incorrect. The first two are literally just contradicted by numbers.
