Interesting, the Baseball America has some real differences amongst their list... I believe they have Gleyber Torres about 10 spots higher, and Clint Frazier a little bit lower.
I don't really think there is a major difference between 5th and 15th spot, they both mean that the player is very talented, and now has to go out and prove them right.

I have been focused on this for the last couple of years because the Brewers have no chance at the MLB level. The Brewers certainly have climbed in their rankings over the last year and a half.
They still lack top end talent, but have built some impressive depth, which I think is something that they need to continuously focus on in order to have any sort of sustained competitiveness.

The Twins have two top-100 guys in each. Nick Gordon is in both, then each has a Twins pitcher late. I think Stephen Gonsalves is No. 99 in BA and Tyler Jay is right around there for BP. |

Hopefully the market turns right for the Brewers this season, around the trade deadline, and they are able to deal Braun and get a good return for him. That would really cap the minor league improvement that they have been focusing on, and potentially return them at least 2 more top 100 prospects. |

If he produces like he did last year and stays mostly healthy, I think there is a pretty good chance he will be gone. He gets his 10 and 5 rights soon, which throws another variable in to the equation. |

Who is your favorite young Brewer, brewin? They don't really have too many can't miss type guys. I live closer to the Brewer's low A club, so I got to see a decent amount of Isnan Diaz, he has decent pop for a middle infielder from the left side. He still has problems though, 150 Ks last year, but I like what I have seen so far. Lucas Erceg was fun to watch as well, but he has only played one partial professional season so far. Now that I am away from Milwaukee, I am actually enjoying going to minor league games more. Less fanfare and more baseball. |

OMG I love Isan Diaz. I have him in my Scoresheet league as a minor leaguer.

Heard rumblings around the way that BPs prospect guys are uh, "meh." I'm no scout, but I'm a little wary of BPs list in general.

They were less about the consensus picks (see Jahmai Jones) then other sites, which is fine. Makes them either incredibly smart or... |

Alex Reyes out with TJS - I think he drops. . . They're a snapshot in time -- as of Jan. 1 -- so he'll stay there until the midseason update |
