Baseball America Organizations Top 10 Prospects

They haven't been getting rated well the last few years but they somehow get some production out of their prospects at least until the bubble burst.

That's pretty ugly.

Truth. BA has started doing a 25-and-under list like BP has always done. For reference on the Marlins, Flynn dropped from 6 to 14 on that list (Fernandez, Stanton, Yelich, Ozuna, Alvarez, Turner, Hechavarria, Eovaldi, Hand on there as graduated but under 25).

To be fair, Braves had 6 graduated prospects on their list, and those were the top 5: Freeman, Simmons, Heyward, Kimbrel, Teheran; plus Alex Wood at 8.

Yeah. Nothing wrong with the marlins top guys, they just brought them all up early with nothing to play for. Yelich and Ozuna looked very good.Hechavarria was as good as it gets in the NL with his glove last year at SS. Brantley got hurt and missed some time and the young pitching, in Turner, Eovaldi, Fernandez and Alvarez looks set until they decide one can no longer be afforded.

A very young team with little AAA experience.

Pretty underwhelming showing by all the NL East teams to be honest.

Top heavy to me. Franco, Syndergaard and Giolito are pretty good high prospects.

1. Javier Baez, ss
2. Kris Bryant, 3b
3. C.J. Edwards, rhp
4. Albert Almora, of
5. Jorge Soler, of
6. Pierce Johnson, rhp
7. Arismendy Alcantara, 2b/ss
8. Jeimer Candelario, 3b
9. Dan Vogelbach, 1b
10. Arodys Vizcaino, rhp

I don't like that system.

Why didn't Kris Bryant drop to # 7? I hate this world.

In the 25 and younger list, they slotted Castro and Rizzo at 3-4 behind Bryant.

Seriously, this has got to be the best group of position player prospects in the minors right now by a good amount.

As for Edwards, Manuel admitted to having a C.J. Edwards mancrush. Most other folks would probably put him behind Soler I'd think.

Also, as for Olt:

Jon KK (Elkhart, IN): Mike Olt doesn't slot into the bottom rungs of the Top 15 25 and Under list?
John Manuel: Not at this point, no. Between his vision and concussion issues, there’s real question as to whether or not he’ll be a productive player again.
