Rankings

Here is an updated listing through 2012 of my Indians prospect rankings since 2007.  While I have ranked as many as 100 players in a season, for simplicity sake only the Top 30 for each year are included in this listing.  To see the scouting report for a player during each year, simply roll your mouse pointer over the name of the player and click on it.

Also, below my rankings I also have included the Top 10 since 2007 from reputed publications and sources such as Baseball America, Kevin Goldstein, Keith Law, and John Sickels.
