Here is a top prospect list I can dig. The compilation is based on several factors with a strong emphasis on each player's ceiling - an attribute I rate very high as well.
1. Joba Chamberlain (RHP) - 9B
2. Jose Tabata (OF) - 9C
3. Ian Kennedy (RHP) - 8B
4. Austin Jackson (OF) - 9C
5. Alan Horne (RHP) - 8C
6. Andrew Brackman (RHP) - 9D
7. Dellin Betances (RHP) - 9D
8. Jesus Montero (C/1B) - 9D
9. Humberto Sanchez (RHP) - 8C
10. Jeff Marquez (RHP) - 8C
11. Kevin Whelan (RHP) - 8C
12. George Kontos (RHP) - 8D
13. Ross Ohlendorf (RHP) - 7B
14. Shelley Duncan (OF/1B) - 7C
15. Kelvin DeLeon (OF) - 9E
PLAYER POTENTIAL RATING
Scale of (1-10) representing a player's upside potential.
10 - Hall of Fame-type player
9 - Elite player
8 - Solid regular
7 - Average regular
6 - Platoon player
5 - Major League reserve player
4 - Top minor league player
3 - Average minor league player
2 - Minor league reserve player
1 - Minor league roster filler
PROBABILITY RATINGAbout time somebody threw Humberto Sanchez and Dellin Betances ahead of Gardner or Marquez. Too bad Melancon wasn't in there as well, but hey nobody's perfect. I also like the inclusion of Kontos in the top 15. He is an intriguing prospect entering a crucial year in his development.
Scale of (A-E) representing the player's realistic chances of achieving their potential.
A - 90% probability of reaching potential
B - 70% probability of reaching potential
C - 50% probability of reaching potential
D - 30% probability of reaching potential
E - 10% probability of reaching potential
