Top 10 and 30 Lists Summary

Saturday, March 10 2018 @ 04:23 PM EST

Now that the last of the major lists has come out here are 10 of them summarized (not necessarily the best 10, just 10 I found and felt were reasonable). From big ones like MLB, FanGraphs, Baseball America, etc. down to blogs like Jays Journal and some weird place called Batters Box. I figured merging the results would provide a good summary of who is solid and who is weak in the system and find some oddball prospects.

First the lists by group...

Now the summary by player, from how many lists they made, top 100 overall prospect lists rank, to an overall score based on 30 points for coming in #1 to 1 point for coming in 30th, to 0 points for not making the list. Note how in every last list Vlad was #1, Bo #2, and Alford #3 - I'd bet we've never seen such a strong consensus among so many different lists on the top 3 for the Jays.

In the end there are 13 players named only once. Listed by who listed them and in brackets at what ranking. I think poorly of a list that has too many at high rankings that no one else saw fit to list, and if a batch of players are ranked only once then that would be a poor reflection on the Jays as it would mean they don't have clear top prospects but instead a mish mash. Luckily non had unique players in the top 12.

• Keith Law has Elieser Medrano (13), Luis de los Santos (17), Jol Concepcion (19)
• Jays Journal has Tim Mayza (19), Roemon Fields (25),
• MLB newest has Mc Gregory Contreras (21)
• Batters Box has Yeltsin Gudino (22)
• MLB early has Francisco Rios (23), Juan Kelly (30)
• Bluebird Banter has Ryan Gold (24), Chavez Young (28), Jackson McClelland (30)
• Baseball America has McGregory Contreras (24)

• On all 10 lists (9 players) - IE: we know these guys: Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Anthony Alford, Nate Pearson, Logan Warmoth, Danny Jansen, Sean Reid-Foley, TJ Zeuch, Ryan Borucki
• On 9 lists (3 players) - IE: One site had a brain fart: Richard Urena (Baseball Prospectus), Riley Adams (Baseball Prospectus), Erick Pardihno (Baseball Prospectus) - note: BP only had a top 10 so they had to miss at least two of these 3.
• On 8 lists (6 players) - should be missed by lists with just 10 or 20: Erick Pardihno, Rowdy Tellez, Reese McGuire, Thomas Pannone, Max Pentecost, Hagen Danner; 3 by Keith Law (top 20), all by BP (top 10), Sickles skipped Danner (listed as one of his unranked 'notables'), Baseball America missed Pannone.
