[Micah (White Sox GM)]

I thought I'd share some analysis I did on the MLB top 100 prospect list, for what it's worth.


Here's how our league stacks up as far as each team's prospects on the MLB top 100 prospects list:

Mil 12
Cin 8
Min 8

Bos 5
Hou 5
Oak 5
Chw 4
Col 4

Balt 3
KC 3
Mia 2
Sea 2
Atl 1
Chc 1
Det 1
LAA 1
LAD 1
NYM 1
Phi 1
SD 1
SF 1
TB 1
