Just wanted to see how BA ranked the tools. Even more bc Gutierrez, Maitan, Livan Soto,and Del Rosario are all mentioned somewhere

Well all the results so far have been posted in the other one....

Badler shows that we have Abrahan Gutierrez and Livan Soto wrapped up...

EDIT: Interesting that he doesn't have Pena yet for us. All of the other results are consistent
