Post by Brian (Blue Jays GM) on Oct 24, 2012 14:19:51 GMT -5
For anyone who hasn't seen them yet, John Sickels published his preliminary top 50 hitting and pitching prospect lists for 2013 about 2 weeks ago. I want to know who you guys think is rated too high or too low? Who do you think is poised for a big rise or big fall on the list this year? Who was left off the list who should've been on it and who was included and shouldn't have been?
