Veen, hassell, and Hendrick all made the post draft mlb.com top 100 last august.  With how well-regarded the 4 high school shortstops were this year, I bet they all make the top 100.  Rutledge was barely in the top 100 so that’s what my thinking was. 

List will also look better once we get vaquero in January

That's reasonable thinking.  I suppose it'd just surprise me given the extreme skepticism that House sticks at SS, but you may well be right.  That bat at SS is top-100.  That bat at 3B isn't, not yet.  That said, I wouldn't have put any of those OFs there last year given the projection needs and unlikelihood that any of them stay in CF.

I guess my problem is that I'm a big believer in thinking pretty much every prospect ain't crap until they do it at least in high-A, and more reasonably AA.
