I've finished going through everyone's prospect list and comparing them to Baseball America's annual prospect handbook, and what better day to roll this out than opening day!
I'll post them one by one as I feel like (probably one per night).
My evaluations were based on the following scoring system:
10 pts for #1 prospect on their respective team list
9 for #2
8 for #3
7 for #4
6 for #5
5 for #'s 6 and 7
4 for #'s 8-10
3 for #'s 11-15
2 for #'s 16-20
1 for #'s 21-30
multiplied by:
3 for top 5 systems
2.5 for next 5,
and so on until .5 for the bottom 5
along with a .2 bonus for every slot above #101 on both BA and Baseball Prospectus' top 100 lists
it's not a perfect system, but it was the best I could come up with. If you've got a better idea, let me know. Thus, let the debate begin!
