Dan Szymborski used his ZIPS projection system to do a top 100. I'm pretty sure that projection systems haven't traditionally done well with minor league numbers, but I was curious about this. I'm not an insider, though, so I haven't seen anything. A couple of people mentioned it in Dave Cameron's chat today though. It sounds like the prospects closer to the majors were more highly ranked than in other places. insider.espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10397789/projecting-keith-law-top-100-prospects-mlb |

Thanks for the interesting topic... I was curious to see why some ranked higher than others like Betts and it makes a bit more sense after reading this blurb from the original article. This is the methodology. Curious results
"
To do this, I took all prospects and ranked them by projected career WAR, and compared that to Law's ranking.
As should be expected, there's a great deal of agreement between ZiPS and Law. While the ranks differ, sometimes widely, ZiPS saw enough statistical data to conclude that 83 of Keith's Top 100 are also in the ZiPS Top 100. "
