If the big 3 continue there good starts, and with all the prospects about to graduate, what are realistic rankings we can wxpect to see on the next updates? In think we will see Anthony and Mayer in lots of top 10s

If Roman isn’t 1 in baseball by mid season they are bums and fools

In think we will see Anthony and Mayer in lots of top 10s Eh, are there that many? Holliday, Chourio, Carter, Langford, Merrill is the list of guys ahead of both at MLB. Add Keith ahead of Anthony.

In think we will see Anthony and Mayer in lots of top 10s There was an article several weeks ago in The Athletic about where Laws top 50 prospects were starting the season and I think about 10 of them were in the majors. With graduations and hopefully good seasons from our guys you could be right.

Mayer, Anthony and Teel are all off to decent SSS starts in Portland and should fare well in the rankings. R1-12 should land in the back half of the top 100.

Prediction: with the FCL now playing in the first half, Cespedes will be top 100 midseason.

One would think Caminero ( if healthy) will Soon get a call. Lawlar is going to miss most season, so he should be easily passed. So i guess it depends where whta publication has them where. MLB. Com 15/22. Without passing anybody would be 8 and 14ish.

Add a lot of other guys are on the brink of getting the call (Skenes, Wood, Montgomery)… When the dust settles, the Top 10 is probably some combination of whatever AAA guys haven’t gotten the call, Mayer/Anthony, Salas, Bassalo, Jenkins, Crews, and Clark. There is generally a handful of surprises as well, but I think it’s very plausible that we could have 2 top 10, and at least 1 top 5, at midseason. (You could dream on both Mayer and Anthony being top 5, but they’d both have to really mash) (Harder to project how far Teel could climb)

Relevant to the above discussion. From the BA chat:
I'm not sure he has the overall profile of a #1 overall prospect even if he mashes all year. I think a lot would really depend on how much you buy a CF profile. It's a lot easier for projected up the middle players to be #1.

So Anthony could be the top prospect in the game but he doesn't have the profile of a #1 prospect? I'm not sure I understand Pontes' logic, but that's encouraging to hear.

I think he means he's not a typical SS or CF prospect (a la Holiday, Arod, Buxton etc.) that gets the glittery title of the game's absolute best prospect.

Perhaps I am wrong but the way I read it was the last sentence in that post was Bojacksoxfan adding his thoughts and not what Geoff Pontes said in his chat?

I just noticed Keith Law did a segment on April 16 of who are the top 5 prospects still in the minors. Marcelo was number 5.

Not that it really changes anything at all but that's still kind of a bummer. I was hoping for a modest rise just off the fact of players ranked higher than them graduating. I don't have a BA subscription but I imagine a few players must have jumped them for them to stay where they were. Then again looking at the MLB.com top 100 list on their site, not that many of their top 15-20 guys graduated. So far I'm only counting Langford, Chourio and Merrill in the top 15. MLB.com and BA lists obviously aren't going to be the same but I'd imagine there is probably a fair amount of overlap in the top 20.

Evan Carter was the only one ahead of them who graduated, and Jared Jones understandably passed them.

Langford, Chourio and Merrill would all figure to graduate soon, as well as Jones at this point. I am a little surprised they didn't just wait for that to release the updated rankings.

Campbell is lower than I would have thought.

The one that stands out to me is Asencio. Aggressive ranking for a 17-year-old international signee who I don't think has played professionally yet. Hopefully BA is on to something there!
