personally I think the grade is more important than the rank. What difference does it make that one prospect expected to be an up and down player is ranked slightly higher than another. However, we do have 8 players at grade/scale 4 (rk 11-18) and 22 at grade 3 (rk 19-40). I would like to propose half grade/scale for 3.5 and 4.5 only. These are the prospects on the border line to a major league career, and I would like to get finer resolution as who are more likely have a chance. That said, I am glad people are forgetting 2012 Ranaudo, I am thinking he might end up being better than Barnes. Owens is properly ranked for now at scale 5, but after getting acclimatized to AA, he will probably also emerge as scale 6.

The spreadsheet that the Details link goes to lists grade changes in the right most column ("Notes").
With the 2-8 grading system Mike is using this year the ranks and the grades seem to be aligned much more closely than they were sometimes in past years. I don't think there's been anybody this year (with the exception of a couple of oversights that were corrected the following week) who had a grade that better than anybody ranked above them.
