It's not Baseball America, or Baseball Prospectus or John Sickels. But why not?

[Mr Clean]

Seems Billy Burns has really moved up, I don't recall seeing his name even in the top 20.

[HalfSmokes]

looking at that list, I'm guessing a pretty low ranking this year. It doesn't seem like we'll continue the trend of graduating a great player every year

It looks like they forgot about Matt Skole until the end

[Lintyfresh85]

Hard fall for Hood.

Or that they don't project him to be an impact major leaguer. He put up a nice season at Hagerstown this year - but as 22, he's a bit old for the level.

how many guys ahead of him are impact players? He's mashed at pretty much every level including the AFL

Skole is 24 and sat out most of the year at AA because of TJ surgery.

I just looked at where BA (4th) and Sickels (5th) had him pre-season.

[TigerFan]

I like seeing Ward at #7. 

So there is a Tony Rendon AND a Tony Renda at 2b?

I went to read the link closer- all of the links on the players listed are to eBay- that makes me wonder if this list is just based on randomly listing 20 players for each team
