By averaging out these five prospect rankings we can get a more definitive look at their lists and see which prospects really are the best:
- Gary Sanchez
- Mason Williams
- Slade Heathcott
- Eric Jagielo
- Tyler Austin
- Rafael De Paula
- Greg Bird
- J.R. Murphy
- Aaron Judge
- Manny Banuelos
Once every major (and minor) outlet releases their prospect list we can compile them all and hopefully get as close as possible to how good these prospects are.
Which list do you think of as the most accurate? What do you think of the definitive list?
