Here is my current list of the top 40 prospects in the MLB with comments on the first 20, i did not include guys like Bruce, Kershaw, Clement, Lowrie, Masterson ect. because they are in the bigs and probably wont be seing the minors again, even though they are technically still prospects
1. David Price, SP, Rays, dominating young pitcher
2. Matt Weiters, C, Orioles, the next great catcher
3. Jason Heyward, OF, Braves, 5 tool outfielder
4. Colby Rasmus, OF, Cardinals, struggles early but has heated up
5. Cameron Maybin, OF, Marlins, 5 tool outfielder, still way to raw
6. Matt LaPorta, OF, Brewers, dominating in AA this year
7. Rick Porcello, SP, Tigers, talented young pitcher, overpowering stuff
8. Andrew McCutcheon, OF, Pirates, 5 tool outfielder who has developed power
9. Travis Snider, OF, Jays, powerful OF ahead of the learning curve
10. Jeremy Hellickson, SP, Rays, massive strikeout potential, great stuff
11. Jake McGee, SP, Rays, consistent pitcher but needs to get better control
12. Madison Bumgarner, SP, Giants, massive strikeout potential, great stuff
13. Mike Moustakas, SS, Royals, struggled early, heating up lately
14. Mat Gamel, 3B, Brewers, probably the minors best player this year stat wise
15. Pedro Alvarez, 3B, Pirates, lots of power potential
