Pitchers dominate the Top 10 of course. Strange still seeing Vizcaino on the list. Lucas Herbert was higher than expected....

No Connor Lien? Surely he's a better prospect than Todd Cunningham.

If you go back and look at 2011 we have 2 of the top 5 prospects in our starting rotation.
I counted 19 of 30 that came from the new regime.
Interesting list. Personally, I don't know why you wouldn't have a guy like Yepez in the top 30 if you already have Herbert and Riley top 20. And I think Davidson is way too low. But regardless, that is just crazy depth. Fried 8, Davidson 11, Sanchez 12, Mallex 14, and Peterson 17 is nuts.
Peterson may be struggling, but he is a legitimate talent that has a chance to be a good major league regular down the line. To have that as deep as 17 is ridiculous. There's definitely no other system in baseball with that kind of depth.
And where some have bemoaned the lack of any truly elite prospects, we have several who could ultimately end up there within a couple years...Albies, Toussaint, Allard, Fried, Davidson, Sims...that's real nice.

Where's My Cup of Coffee?
The intern that did this list must have overlooked him.
I'd like to point out that 15 of the top 20 prospects on this list were added by the new front office.
