TGB Top 100 Prospects - commentary

Just a word of advice...

Criticism means so little when it is done anonymously...

Got this comment today on my Top 100 Prospects list:

"Anonymous said...
bahaha this list is a joke.Lars Anderson is ranked in top 10 on EVERY top prospect list, except yours.And Tommy Hansen at 7? Give me a break...

My response:

Boy, those pot shots are really meaningful coming from "anonymous". Guess my list being different shows you I'm thinking independantly of other people."Everyone" had Joel Guzman and Andy Marte rated in the Top 10 back in '05. And those same "everyones" had Jonathan Papelbon rated in the 90's.Check it out for yourself.

Rating prospects is not a science my man.By the way, where can I get your Top 100? I'd like to compare it to mine in three years. Of course, then you couldn't be "anonymous" anymore.

Not picking on Baseball America - they are absolutely THE BEST when it comes to prospect rankings and draft information. THE BEST, period, without peer.

Just using BA to illustrate that this is not an exact science. Ripping a list - any list- at this point is silly. Question me all you want, but use your head (AND YOUR NAME) when doing so.

The Baseball Gods Top 100 Prospects list here, FYI:
