Dynasty Dugout: Prospects to Watch Outside the Top-100

The beauty of minor league prospects is that there's basically an endless supply of them. I recently finished my five-part top-100 prospects countdown and couldn't fit in all the prospects I wanted to. Maybe I should've done a top-150 or top-200 or something. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

As we get closer to the top of these rankings, I’m finding it harder and harder to limit how much I write about each prospect. Can you really blame me? These aren't your run-of-the-mill prospects in this article. No, sir. These are elite stud prospects with tantalizing upside that are about to explode all over the MLB landscape.As you'll see pretty quickly, the terms "ace-caliber" and "elite tools" enter the discussion plenty of times below.
