docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nRym_NRke2N4-xtDdPcNyJ1UOiLKZ35MPFKUzmkrW4s/edit?usp=sharingHopefully this works. Create your own Top 50 for the MLB Draft in the attached document. There's a dropdown with the top 600 prospects, and since that can be clunky, I included a list of all names to the left as well. It won't automatically stop you from entering a name multiple times, so be cognizant of that. I'll take everyones submission and calculate the forum's composite ranking before the draft starts this weekend.

Actually ended up much harder than I anticipated it being. I don't scout the high school guys nearly hard enough to do a top 50 on pure talent all the way down, so tried to make it relatively Sox-centric. Ended up doing a bit of a tier list in the regard: 1-19: Basically a true ranking of what I view to be the true "top" guys in this class. Relatively chalk outside of being particularly high on Brock Wilken and particularly low on Chase Dollander. And I will say, despite me having Dollander 12th due to the stuff and guys like Brock Wilken and Brayden Taylor a few spots down, I'd probably rather the Red Sox draft one of the latter. 20-27: Ultra-toolsy high school guys that wouldn't surprise me if any of them were the pick at 14, and I'd understand it. 28-32: Interesting, mainly bat-forward college guys that I think would be good options as way under-slot picks at 14 or absolute steals in the second round (though some of those names have no chance of getting there). 33-37: Prep arms, not an archetype I like early but a few guys where I like the traits. 38-41: A couple more scattered prep shortstops and a couple two-sport swings I'd be very interested in in the first few rounds. 42-50: Not so much some of the 50 best prospects in this draft, but just a scattered assortment of college guys that I like and want the Red Sox to target sometime in the first 10 rounds if possible.
Also, Aidan Smith would've been in the middle of that 20-27 tier but I didn't see his name on the list and didn't want to screw with any formatting.

Fun exercise. Thanks for setting this up. I don't know too much about prospects but I wanted to try and see how I do. Went mainly off MLB/FG rankings along with some of the rankings done before me by posters here.

Yeah 50 definitely gets tough lol. I’m in meetings until 4 then I have to get to Fenway for the game tonight, but I’ll be back tomorrow to clean up any errors I can see and to add any names that might be missing too.

Ill add Aidan Smith in just let me know what number you want him at and I’ll push the rest down a spot
