Baseball America Top 100 Released

On the chat today BA said that there was an intense debate between Acuna, Ohtani, and Vlad. I'm honestly floored that they put Acuna at number 1. I mean, Acuna really is special and all, but the best pitching prospect we have seen in years that also has a chance to contribute with the stick? That is truly a once in a lifetime type prospect. It speaks really highly of what folks think about Acuna that they put him above Ohtani.

They do their ranking similar to how the writers do the mvp. They have like 5 guys who ranks players 1-150 and decide their top 100 on who has the most points. Apparently 1 point separated Acuna, Ohtani, and Vlad which is pretty insane.

I liked (and still like) Moniak, but there will be questions as to whether or not he will ever develop any power. Great hitting mechanics, but to be in the top one hundred, you pretty much have to show you can drive the ball consistently.

Had a disappointing season all around. Doesn’t upset me if the Failies wiff on that pick
 
Also Maitian is out of their top 100. So either BA really has issues with their rankings or Coppy really blew his load hard on a bunch of crap prospects. lol

I hate to hate on maitan, but I will feel much better if he never amounts to much
 
Law was one of the biggest Allard believers about a year ago, so him not making the list should make it clear to everyone how much his stock has fallen.

Or do you ever think these guys have to write so many of these lists that they actually forget a few prospects here and there. I’m sure it happens and then the writer has to explain it away as if he meant to do it.
 
Unless Allard is sitting in the high 80s I don't see how this makes sense. He was 19 in AA last year and did great.

Considering Allard took a steep fall on Baseball America and will do the same on Pipeline, I'm guessing that's not what happened.
 
Allard is still a no doubt top 75 prospect in baseball regardless of who’s list it is. Also Acuna is #1 again on another list. Chipper called him the next Trout and said there’s nothing he doesn’t do great.

The consensus seems to be that his fastball isn't very good, and that he was getting away with stuff that flies in the minors but will eventually be an issue in the Majors.

What surprises me is believing in Touki enough to put him in the Top 100 but only having Gohara 50th. You'd think whatever methodology allows you to rank Touki would put Gohara really high.

Build it around Touki, Fried, Allard, etc

Truthfully anybody but Acuna, Wright, and Gohara I'd be ok building a package around for Yelich

This all day. I’ve said all along that those 3 are untouchable but anybody else is up for grabs for Yelich.
