Didn't KATOH love Taylor Davis last year or am I thinking of another system?

 

I think you're thinking of another system

BA top 100 prospect list after one month: http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/top-100-prospects-updated-may-11/?amphtml=1

 

With the season roughly a month old, the staff of Baseball America presents an update of our Top 100 Prospects list to reflect the graduations of players who are no longer prospect-eligible and to tweak the rankings based on feedback we have received from scouts and coaches who have seen the prospects this year. Because this list comes after just a month of games, the tweaks are relatively minor. Expect to see more changes when our Midseason Top 100 update rolls out around the time of the Futures Game. To be eligible, players must have fewer than 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the major leagues as of May 10.

 

11. Eloy Jimenez

55. Ian Happ

90. Dylan Cease

 

TT, look away. Gleyber is #2 overall. Adrian Morejon, who the Cubs were very interested in signing but couldn't pull off, is ranked #91.

This is fun:

 

Player A:

 

.273/.388/.382/.770 in AA, 10/7 BB/K

13 games at SS, 3 at 2B, 4 at 3B

 

Player B:

 

.279/.361/.395/.756 in AA, 10/15 BB/K

14 games at SS, 3 at 2B, 3 at 3B

 

One of them is superprospect Gleyber Torres, the other is Cubs farmhand Andrew Ely, who needs to be looked up to double check that he's a real player and not made up.

I love TT's unabashed hate of "Super Prospect," Torres (can't say I disagree)

I've never been a big Gleyber fan myself, but he is only 20 to that other guy's 33 or whatever

Fine, drop Ely to #4 overall then.

this reads a lot like the stat-line scouting that led us all to believe Javy was leaps and bounds better than Lindor.
