Oh, fully. I didn't mean to seem like there were 20 guys where it was "horsefeathers it" territory. There are like 20 guys who have legitimate MLB upside in some fashion. I meant more in the terms of "right now, they're all so close in terms of warts, age, potential..." that this next group is homogenous enough that I could have a guy at 27, and you could have him at 12 and I think we'd both be justified in it. And regardless of him being 12th or 27th, I think we'd both agree that there was some level of MLB upside there. 

This is pretty common in a deep system and it's why I push back on moving beyond 20 prospects on the list. At some point, ranking prospects in order becomes a fruitless endeavor. After ten, I generally prefer to put prospects in "similar buckets", like "prospects 12 through 17 are essentially the same while 18 through 23 are one tier below them".
