A massive part of fantasy baseball dynasty leagues always has been and always will be prospects. No matter if you’re a diehard to the format or relatively new, everyone loves prospects and wants to establish a rock-solid core on their dynasty team. Having a top-notch farm system can help you replenish when you’re Major Leaguers start to decline and can keep you competitive year after year. And that’s the goal, right? We play dynasty fantasy baseball to have fun and to win. If you play to lose, then I’m not sure why you’re playing, to be honest. So, with all that said, it’s time to dive into an updated top-400 fantasy baseball prospects list on the world. Hopefully, this list helps you build a dominant farm now and into the future.
This is my first update of the 2023 calendar year and a lot has changed since my last update.
What Factors Into These Rankings?
- Proximity: For this list, proximity factors in somewhat, but this is mostly geared toward overall potential.
- Upside: Ceiling and floor are weighed at around a 2/3 to 1/3 split.
- System: The more I’ve learned, the more it has become very apparent that the system these prospects are in matters. If a franchise doesn’t have a great track record developing certain types of prospects or vice versa, that factors in to a degree.
- Key Tools (Hitters): We all love the flashy prospects that have the potential to put up gaudy numbers, but that can’t be all we look for. For hitters, I’ve really started factoring in a prospect’s hit tool more heavily. Below-average contact skills or plate approach can really limit a player’s power/speed upside.
- Key Tools (Pitchers): In my time doing this, command has become more and more important in my eyes. That’s why you’ll see certain pitchers a little lower than you might think. I’ll take a pitcher that throws 93-94 with plus command over 96-97 with spotty command any day of the week.
Why Make Changes?
Since my last update came in early September, I always receive the question of why am I updating rankings with so little games played since then? The easy answer is that the offseason is a great time to dig further into players and rankings. Stats aren’t changing daily, so the offseason brings additional time to slice and dice my rankings several ways and make necessary adjustments.
Where Are The J2 Players?
All the international players that will be signing with teams in mid-January will be part of the next rankings update in the near future.
If you aren’t playing your dynasty leagues on Fantrax, you’re missing out on the deepest player pool and most customization around.

I play in a 14 team full dynasty with 30 players on a roster. So our league is very deep. Would you trade Gunnar Henderson for a top tier OF? I am covered in the infield but lack solid OF.
Hey Eric,
I took over the worst team in a 20 year 14 team dynasty league last year and took the year to trade off what decent pieces I had for prospects and to rebuild the farm system on my team. I was able to acquire Julio Rodriguez, Volpe, MJ Melendez, and Mead before the season started and also pick up free agents like Strider, James Wood, Tovar, and Evan Carter as well as a few others so now I have the strongest crop of prospects in the league. My question for you is…. I have the #1 overall pick in the FYPD draft and I’m torn on taking Jackson Holliday, Drew Jones, or Kyle Manzardo. I have been all over Manzardo last season and I’m terrified he won’t last back to the 15th pick. Do I just take the younger prospect like Holliday or Jones and hope Manzardo falls or do I try to be the smartest guy in the room and take Manzardo at 1? I’ve tried to trade to get another pick in the 5-9 range but noone is biting. Thanks for you help!

Hi again Eric!
I appreciate you taking on all of these comments! I do have a quick question for you.
If you were to fast forward three years from now (February 2026), who do you think could be candidates for the top 5 fantasy baseball prospects? I know that I have seen articles before where someone here on Fantrax had taken a stab at who they had thought would be the top prospect years in advance.
Thank you so much in advance!
Do you think Anthony Volpe could move to second base with Oswaldo Perez playing shortstop for the Yanks?
Great job as always, I really enjoy your work and your level of engagement with your followers is 2nd to none!
Any thoughts on Maikel Garcia of the Royals?
will Blaze Jordan ever hit a 900 foot home run in the majors? And if so, will he rounds the bases and cross home plate before the ball lands?
A few questions:
1. Who is Connor Norby and what warrants him getting such a high ranking?
2. Who are a couple of guys you’re really high on in the 40-80 range?
3. What do you expect to see from SFG prospects Luciano and Matos this season? What kind of ceiling do you see for them at this point?
For as hyped of a prospect as he was, why do we never see Luis Rodriguez (LAD) on any of these rankings lists? Is he too far away? Fell off a cliff? Not enough info to go on? What is it and why is he still on my 30 team dynasty roster?
The January update is great. I am glad I grabbed Jorge in my 22 team dynasty. Lewyn Sosa has been cut in my league, what are your thoughts on him? I would have to cut one of the following: H.Y. Lee, S.Thompson, J.Ramos, AJ Smith-Shawer, M.Miller, Y.Zulueta
Trevor Bauer is available in our FYPD in February. Where would you rank him in terms of value compared to this year’s draft class along with the 2 Japanese guys?
Thank you for taking the time to put this list together, great stuff as always. I use your information mostly as a tool in the hobby of sports cards like to project rookie card prices in the future but still a big fan of the game . Thanks again
I think you’re sleeping on Bryce Elder. Crappy couple starts at the beginning of this season in MLB, but put up an excellent string in AAA and his spot starts toward the end of the year were awesome – tons of groundballs, slightly average K rate, and above average BB rate.
Hey again Eric!
Thank you again for your timely replies and your efforts!
I listed guys below that I have seen are awfully young for their level which seems like a good determination factor in upside.
Are there any guys that are farther down the list (outside of the top 40 or so) that could be an incredible riser that you could see as an elite prospect in two to three years down the line (or sooner)? Do you see any of these guys listed below having elite upside or other guys that I did not list below? Thank you again!
1. Evan Carter
2. Endy Rodriguez
3. Alexander Canario
4. Chase DeLauter
5. Adael Amador
6. Miguel Bleis
7. Luisangel Acuna
8. Gabriel Gonzalez
9. Emmanuel Rodriguez
10. Cam Collier
Great lists and insight, thanks for putting these out consistently, I’m sure a ton of work and research goes into it. Where do you think Roki Sasaki and Luis Morales would land on this list?
Elly is super exciting, I get it, but his strikouts are horrendous. Are you that confident that he won’t bust that he is really your #2?
Still no love for Turang? Do you see him as a better real-life player than fantasy player? And no, the TL in my name does not stand for Turang Lover 🙂
Eric,
First off, thank you for releasing these rankings!
They are excellent!!!
I have some questions for you.
1) Is there a reason why Brady House has dropped so far in your rankings?
2) Is there a reason why Joey Wiemer dropped in your rankings? He was just assigned to AAA and seems to be holding his own there.
3) Is there a reason why Hassell III dropped in your rankings? Are there any concerns?
4) Can you rank these players in long term upside? Vaquero, Montes, Blaze Jordan, Wiemer, House, and Masyn Winn, Crow-Armstrong?
When do the Top-400 Fantasy Baseball Prospects For Dynasty Leagues: August 2022 come out?
And to follow that up, will there be a September version and when?
Is Edouard Julien on your radar? I was a bit surprised he didn’t crack the top 400.
I’m wondering what your thoughts are on Mason Montgomery? His stats through July are just silly. Ace upside?
Nelson Velazquez has debuted for the Cubs.
Such a big jump for Elly de la Cruz?
Any love for Ronny Simon, Lawrence Butler or Tyler Callihan?
Small comment, more of a technical issue. When you sort by Previous, it doesn’t work it lists 1, then 100, 101 etc. by alphabetical rather than numerical. Not a huge issue, but thought you should know.
Eric – as always this is amazing stuff we really value your content.
Is Matt Mervis of the Cubs someone to watch? Recently promoted to Triple A Iowa. He’s been mashing and as a left-handed bat appears to have a good opportunity for playing time at first base in 2023.
150 seems a bit low for CES, doesn’t it? Dude has done nothing but rake, and up at AA now.
Dynasty trade
Give up: JT Realmuto and Gunnar Henderson
For: Josh Hader, Nick Yorke, Sean Murphy
Taylor Dollard needs a bump up the list
I know he’s too old for his level, but Niko Kavadas has to be nearing the top 400, right?
Stone Garrett is killing it but doesn’t make it at all? I get that he’s 26, but I feel like he’s at least worth a mention. You could argue he should’ve gotten the promotion Thomas got.
Thanks for the 40 man explanation and the thoughts on both players. Now I want to find a way to grab them both!
Gunnar and Tovar are available in a keep 15 5×5 roto league. Players get raises each year so hard to keep young guys that won’t contribute within a year. Seems like Gunnar has a clearer path to playing time this year once Balt sells some pieces, but he’s not on 40 man. Tovar is on 40 man (why?, surprised me based on his age), does that give him a clearer path to making roster sooner than later? Both seem to have great power/speed upside and can really only stash one of them. Whos’ the grab for a league like mine?
I love this prospect list because you keep it fresh with breakout players, ie Esteury Ruiz, Moises Gomez…but I’m scratching my head how Enmanuel Valdez isn’t in top 400. Arguably the Best hitter in minors this year.
Not ranking Reese Olson is certainly a decision
What about Samad Taylor, why is he not getting the love?
What are your thoughts on Mike Burrows of the Pirates?
Wilmer Flores can’t crack the list? I also think Samad Taylor is being slept on by everyone, too low!!! Love the list though bro, keep up the great work!!!
Maddux Bruns getting rave reviews this spring. Any chance he cracks the list next update?
Why do you have Korey Lee at 400 when MLB has him as the Astros #1 prospect?
Do you see Brandon Williamson’s trade to CIN positively or negatively changing his ranking?
No Brice Turang on the updated Top 400??
Hi, any thoughts on Brandon Pfaadt or Yanquiel Fernandez? Pfaadt is very high on some lists (top 100 for Keith Law on The Athletic) but not acknowledged at all other places like here. Was he considered? Ferennadez is a young guy that seems to have some buzz too. What kept both guys off your list?
I’m trying to get a feel for a few pitchers I’ve been offered in my dynasty league. What are your thoughts on Roansy Contreras, Joe Ryan, and Jackson Rutledge, and how would you rank the three?
Looks like Monte Harrison has fallen out of favor as a top prospect by people who were previously high on him. This despite showing a good power and speed combination with AAA Jacksonville last season. Where would you rank him? Is even among the top 1000?
Where would some of the new international prospects that just signed fit on this list….generally speaking. Any in the top 100?
Arias, Vaquero, Cabrera, Bergolla, Colas, etc…
I noticed that Padres reliever Robert Suarez didn’t make the cut despite pitching exceptionally well in Japan. How far away is he from the top 400?
What are your thoughts about Bryce Ball and Yoelkis Cespedes?
How close is Julien Edouard from the cutoff
As always, awesome work! Started following you a few years ago as my dynasty team kind of hit a plateau. Blew it up and restocked the farm. Thanks to you, and the rest of my league not following MiLB as close as they should, my farm right now is loaded with:
JRod
Noelvi
F Alvarez
Vaughn
Brujan
Luciano
G Mitchell
Adell
Gorman
Abrams
Martin
Soderstrom
J Walker
Volpe
Matos
Kirilloff
Hassell
Carroll
Pearson
Baz
Manning
Patino
Detmers
GRod
Hall
Kirby
Cavalli
Here’s to hoping like 2/5 of these guys hit their full potential!
Great work as always… couple full dynasty questions… for catchers have Will, Carson and Mejia but he has never came along. Do MJ, Moreno or outside the top 5 seem better. Will Moreno play over Kirk or does Salvy go 100% DH as soon as next year? Thoughts…
And SS – have Lindor primarily. And Lawler and Grosh (is he 3b only). Rojas AZ too but he will prob go w DL spot drops. Have Gorman at 3b too. Is Lawler worth the wait or do I move OF depth for another top 5 SS? Lindor had to be better right? Haha…
Lastly – SP – have Ian A Sixto Gore Patino Ranger and mClanhan as my young depth. Soroka & May (and Marquez) as my IL. Of all those name what 2 go?
Sorry but didn’t want to bore you with my whole team but few spots to tidy up before we are done w the year. Thanks Eric!!!
Cheers!
Where is Nick Allen?
Hey Eric,
Great content and I love how often you update! What are your thoughts on Everson Pereira? He is scorching hot right now and has jumped a couple of levels. Does he have a chance to make a huge jump into or near the top 100 if he keeps this up?
Where is Andrew Vaughn of the White Sox?
Hey Eric, as always thanks so much for all the awesome content!
How confident are you that Matt Manning will turn around whatever funk he’s been in over the last season or so, or is this not a bad streak but actually just who he is? I am in a complete rebuild and started stashing him back in 2019, so it’s hard to cut bait with only a few starts in MLB but his stuff just doesn’t seem to be inducing any swings and misses, which is no bueno. I try to be flexible with my pitching prospects and recycle on waivers when one is not worth the roster spot anymore, but the long stash period on my roster and previously good track record make Manning hard to drop.
Thanks so much!
What is your take on Korey Lee? I see he fell off the list this month, yet he has performed pretty well across the A+ and AA levels this year. The Astros seem to love his future and have even experimented with him at 1B & 3B to go along with his primary catching position. There are some lists that have him as the #1 player in the Astros organization. Is there something about his game that you don’t like or is this more an indictment of the catching position in general and how it translate to fantasy?
(Shea Langeliers is another catching prospect that isn’t getting enough love, in my opinion.)
Great to see Hassell and Veen ranked so high, but why no love for Shea Langeliers (#364)? He is crushing the ball in AA South – tied for the league lead with 19 HR in 70 games and 2nd in OPS at .886, behind only Brennen Davis. Good defense will keep him behind the plate in the majors too…
Logan Allen close?
Where would you slot Jake Meyers? OF for Astros AAA affiliate.
Thanks for all you do!
Is Akil Baddoo not eligible for this list?
How about Curtis Terry?
(also, i tried to post this once before and it said “spam deleted” — not sure why)
I can’t believe Christian Franklin is debuting at #127 on this list. I think that would make him the 17th best draft prospect and he was taken at #123. That’s quite a difference. Is there a story here other than you just really like his tools?
Hi Eric,
I’m having a difficult time figuring out who to let go, if I cannot make any deals. Seems no one is biting on my prospects at this time. I’ll eventually have to make room for Andres Munoz, Nick Madrigal and a top 1-2 pick in the FYPD.
Who would you let go? Can even be Munoz or Madrigal if that’s what you think.
Jeter Downs, Alek Thomas, Corbin Carroll, Robert Hassell, Jordan Walker, Roansy Contreras, Ryan Pepiot, Brailyn Marquez.
Thanks for your time!
Keibert Ruiz sits in the top 10 among those with the lowest strikeout (11%/ranked 10th) and swinging strike (5.7%/9th) rates in the minors. And that he’s the only one within that group with a +1.000 OPS. The fact that he is not on this list is crazy!
Appreciate the hard work you guys do with this stuff, always updating and keeping up with performances throughout each week/month!
FYI -> 1 thing I noticed was w/ Brandon Williamson…I’m pretty sure he’s not 32 yrs old, ha. That said, are you buying his hot start this year & is his potential ending up as a #3 in Seattle?
Great work as always!
Trade advice needed
I would be getting Shane McClanahan, Julio Rodriguez and Jo Adell and giving up Andrew Vaughn and Yordan Alvarez
Do you have a printable version posted? Did I miss it somewhere?
Surprised no mention of Korry Howell OF Mil who is tearing it up in the minors.
Surprised no mention of Korry Howell, who has been tearing it up.
Where would Adell rank if he still had rookie status?
When is Daniel Johnson going to get his chance? Cleveland should give him a long look to see what they have.
What are your thoughts on Gunner Henderson. I’m already loaded at SS with Franco , Bo and Marte and some others in a 20 team 35 keepers plus 7 minor league spots. I have been offered Hancock in a 1-1 deal but I’m hesitant with his bat profile and potential move to 3rd if he slows down
Hey Eric – quick ??. With Kristian Robinson in the whatever the heck he has going on – is he still a better full dynasty keeper than Heloit? No years or $ and in no hurry – just for the future. Sounds like he may be in either more trouble than discussed or eating with a spoon only for awhile. Thanks in advance.
Hi Eric, great rankings I really enjoy them!
What’s your opinion on a trade of Abrams, Luzardo or Pearson, and a top 5 FYP draft pick for Corbin Burnes?
My team is one of the tops in the league, but lacking a true ace. Would I be giving up too much of the future here? It’s a super deep (up to 130 players), 20-team dynasty league
Conversely, would you trust a rotation of Montas, Soroka, Luzardo, Pearson, Ray, and Lamet (with Morton or Matz as backups) to be trustworthy by the end of the season?
Love your rankings, feel they are the best of anyone out there. You seem to have the lowest weight on ETA and that’s why we get to see guys like Noelvi Marte up so high. Definitely helps those of us trying to invest early in rookie cards. Right now I’m torn between investing in Orelvis Martinez & Robert Puason. I know you have them neck and neck. Who do you think has the higher ceiling? Thanks again.
Should I be worried about Lodolo? He fell significantly far since last rankings. Thoughts on him?
How much did I screw up taking Lodolo over Hassell? I had just taken Garrett Mitchell and was worried Lodolo would be the only chance at a pitcher I liked. Turns out I did get other pitchers I liked and if I were to do it again I would take Hassell instead of Lodolo. Are you worried at all about Lodolo? He fell about 40 spots.
I play in a dynasty league where each team is allowed 6 keepers (8 teams). I have the 2nd overall pick this year. I am torn between Alex Bregman and Randy Arrozerena. Prospects are allowed to be kept free for 3 years without counting as a keeper spot. That is our version of “arbitration.” I already have Jose Ramirez at 3B, but Bregman by far is the best available option with 2nd overall pick. Do I take Bregman the best player available or Arrozerena free for 3 years? Thanks for all that you do.
Eric, thanks for all you do! Your lists are amongst the best, and I often refer and defer to your opinions.
Add in your personal answers to roster questions, and you’re the best!
Anyway, I inherited a team with a tepid farm. I’m always looking to raise the floor, and I was wondering if you have anything good to say about: Justin Williams STL, Karl Kauffman COL, Louis Alexander Basabe SF, Brandon Bishop SEA, Forrest Wall TOR, Taylor Widener AZ, Zack Collins CWS, Aramis Ademan CUBS, Mark Mathias MIL, Delvin Perez STL, Bryce Denton STL
Also, any opinions on my int’l free agent signings? Angel Genoa and Ricardo Perez
(30 teams had $5M each, and I got these guys for $4.3M.)
I have Luis Garcia (SP Astros) in a few leagues but never see him in any rankings. His minor league stats are great, although high BB/IP and he is older. Any comments? is he worth retaining in deeper dynasty leagues?
Hey Eric!
As always, I really appreciate all of the research you do and info you provide. It’s a great tool when valuing prospects in my dynast league. I know you’re lucky enough to get to see some of these guys in person, but I was curious how you go about watching/scouting these guys on a consistent basis? I’ve built up a pretty solid list of twitter profiles to follow and still find it extremely hard to find video of guys outside of the mega prospects.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi Eric,
Looking to upgrade in SB and also at C. I am looking at Trea Turner and Salvador Perez from an owner. Do you think my offer is too much/too little? Thanks!!
I receive: Trea Turner & Salvador Perez
He receives: Xander Bogaerts, Tarik Skubal, Noelvi Marte and 2.22 FYPD 2020 class
Just curious , I’m not disagreeing but what made kelenic #1 over Wander ?
Great updates list
BB
Madrigal 80?! wow. He’s an absolute hitting machine IMO. – tiny strikezone.Curious how he is that far down?
I notice that there really isn’t a lot of press on Cespedes. He looks like. 5 tool player. Why is he not getting any hype?
Where is Jo Adell on ranking? He still qualifies as minor leaguer, and is super young.
Awesome list Eric! With this list and the black book, I’m ready for baseball to start. Would you deal Groshans, D. Garcia and Valera for Flaherty? The owner of Flaherty has expressed interest in Vaughn, Greene, Freeman, Lynch, Groshans, Valera, D. Garcia and Lynch. I want to hold Greene and Vaughn.
I’m in a long term dynasty league that has 6 minor league slots. I have done exceptionally well with these slots. I currently have the following players:
Wander Franco
Julio Rodriguez
CJ Abrams
Nick Gonzalez
Nate Pearson
Grayson Rodriguez
I’m curious what happened that made you flip Franco and Kelenic?
In a 12 team 5×5 roto keeper league. Keep 15 each year, with players getting $5 raises. My team is not winning this year and more in re-build mode with eyes on next year.
My 3B – Moncada, Bohm, My OF – Arozarena, Carlson
Would you prefer a $5 Tork or a $6 Kelenic?
No faith in Chris Rodriguez?
Hey Eric! What do you think of Yiddi Cappe? Just not enough on him yet?
Can’t wait!
Opinion on Austin Beck? Has he completely fallen off the radar for prospects?
Where are the 2020 J2 players that just signed?
is tyler stephenson( catcher for the reds) considered a prospect? Where would he rank on this list?
Obviously Karinchak graduated, but say you had to rank him in this list. Where would you put him?
Which pitching prospect has the higher ceiling Spencer Howard or Logan Gilbert?
Just traded christian yelich straight up for Jared kelenic, what do you think?
Who is #179?
Who is 179?
Randy Arozarena at 98? I’ve seen people mentioning him being in the top 100 picks overall next year. With a solid track record and hot end to season and playoffs, feel like he should be in top 25-30 at the very least?
Great list as usual
Pitchers I currently own looking for upside projections
Ace upside (future top 10 sp ) ?
Asa Lacey
Max Meyer
Mick Abel
Nick Bitsko have ace upside ?
Top 25 sp upside ?
Clarke schmidt
George Kirby
Eric – you are the man. I just want to say that upfront. I REALLY appreciate all your hard work and how fantastic you are about replying via twitter and other places. Quick question for you: Karinchak and Kremer both graduated I assume? If not, whereabouts would each have ranked on this list.
You the man!
Is Antonio Cabello still valuable?
Hey Eric, thanks for the updated prospect list. With no minor league season, what made you bump George Kirby from 137 to 75? Have you heard something from the alternate site?
What do you think about Oswald peraza for the Yankees. MLB has him listed as the Yankees 4th ranked prospect. Where is he on your list?
Where do you rate Jorge Mateo now that he plays for the Padres. The Padres have such a deep farm system he can get buried pretty easily. I have always liked Mateo, since he was on the Yankees, but everywhere he goes he continues to get blocked. Is he destined for the outfield
Who to cut can only keep 11 prospect(mind you sold a lot of my team to get these prospects to rebuild)
Adley Rutchsman
Andrew Vaughn
Brendan rodgers
Jeter downs
Jordan groshans
Noelvi Marte
Brendan Rodgers
Alec Bohm
CJ Abrams
Jasson Dominguez
Julio Rodriguez
Dylan Carlson
Gavin Lux
Matthew Liberatore
Forrest Whitley
Nick Lodolo
Grayson Rodrigue
Spencer Howard
Much help needed!!
Great list Eric!
Wondering what your thoughts are on Josh Lowe at 142… seems to have plenty of talent, what made you rank him at that spot?
Yikes I was feeling great about my open universe draft this year until reading your July update. I got Austin Martin fourth overall followed by Jordan Walker and Mick Abel in the second and third rounds. Felt great about it. But one of my competitors nabbed Zac Veen, Nick Gonzales, Asa Lacy, and Reid Detmers. Devastating to my morale. I think I’ll be okay though since I’m in a rebuild and tanking anyway and do have future stud Jake Bauers stashed in my minors!
I believe you have done something similar but would love to see an updated post on who has a chance to vault up the rankings in a singular article. Great stuff and thank you for all the work.
Hey Eric,
Was a little surprised to see Baz rated where he was.Are you still high on him? Also tell me more about Garrett Mitchell and what you project him to look like. Thanks for all your work.
Francisco Morales just outside?
No love for Matt Tabor? I just drafted a first year dynasty 20 team draft and went prospect heavy. I really don’t feel like pushing my team in 2020 due to the reduced season but am putting a strong emphasis on development and being a top tier team by 2021. Who do you feel has the highest upside between josiah gray, Shane McCalahan, Blake Walston, and Matt Tabor. I also have snell, woodruff, kopech, manning, may, braiylin marquez, and Grayson Rodriguez.
Was Tahnaj Thomas close to making it?
Hello Eric, in a 16 team dynasty league, h2h cats. Who do you like long term between Liberatore or Gilbert? What type of floor/ceilings do they have? Do you have any comps for them?
Thanks!
Hey Eric, in a 16 team dynasty league, h2h cats. Who would you prefer between Liberatore or Gilbert? Do you have any comps for them?
Thanks!
Hey Eric, who would you rather have in a fantasy dynasty league, h2h cats. Liberatore or Gilbert? Any comps for either of them?
Thanks!
I’m having a really hard time in my fantasy draft on picking between Jo Adell and Dylan Carlson…I am admittedly a Cardinals fan but I want to make the right decision!!! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!
Hello Eric, Sixto Sanchez is listed as the #22 ranked prospect on MLB Pipeline. Wondering why he’s ranked at #66 in your prospect rankings?
i have grown VERY dependent on your Organizational Top-25’s for my national league only keeper league as i think your evaluations are the most spot in in the business.. Are they going to start up again soon ? please 😉 ?
Seems american league is complete, post was regarding national league
With Pardinho going under the knife, how does that effect his projections/rankings? How would you rank the most expendable between E Pardinho, D Kremer, A Kay and L Webb?
I’m curious to know why you have Robinson and Luciano higher than other publishers. What is so special about them?
By all accounts Wander Franco is in a tier by himself. What would a positive return for him look like?
Something like Bichette + Kelenic?
Currently going through a 30 team dynasty that will roster 50 prospects each. How do you rank these guys on pure upside:
Gabriel Arias
Alexfri Planez
Gabriel Rodriguez
Jeferson Espinal
Going off your top 25s it seems like you think Planez has a super high ceiling
Alex Vesia?
What are your opinions on guys like Seth Corry, Joe Ryan, and George Kirby.
Thanks.
Dynasty league: curious and interested in your opinion about Kirk olivares and Herrera
2 more upside only rankings
Pitchers 1 – 3
Whitley
Luzardo
Manning
Bats 1-4
Jasson Dominguez
Luciano
Abrams
Kristian Robinson
Twisted dynasty
Hey Eric! Just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work! I’m in a dynasty league with a pretty shallow amount of prospects rostered on each team (maybe 3-4 per team). My team was stagnant the last few years so decided to blow it up and rebuild. Started following you last offseason and I jumped on a few guys early at your recommendation and now my prospect pool is by far the best my league has ever seen and I’m looking pretty solid for the future. J-Rod, Luciano, K-Rob, Kirilloff, Waters, Brujan, Whitley, Manning, Pearson, May, Puk (plus the addition of one of the top FYPD players this upcoming draft) is pretty filthy if you ask me. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Looking for upside if any
Jared Oliva

Great list
What’s your thoughts on upside of
Maximo acosta , Aaron bracho and luisangel acuna
Where do you rank Colton Welker and Jhailyn Ortiz?
What about Joey Cantillo?
No Jose De la Cruz?
No Seth Corry or joe Ryan?
Victor Victor Mesa is off the radar now for dynasty? Is that mainly due to being 23 and not an impresive 2019?
Keibert Ruiz?
IMO Casey mize and Daley rutschman are top ten locks. Switch them with Luciano and Robinson is my hot take.
Casey Mize is terrible, so overrated
