BA's midseason top 50 is out.

Holt and Mejia make the list, but not specifically ranked, as only the top 25 are numbered.

I believe Fernando Martinez is out of the running for now as a major leaguer; not sure if that may change by year end depending on his at-bats.

If this was including some guys with limited MLB at-bats

We’d be pretty set. I can’t imagine Mejia NOT being on the Top 50, and F! would be in the Top 20. So that’s good.

The Rankings

34. Brad Holt
41. Jenrry Mejia

nope

The next 25 aren’t ranked, just alphabetical. Unless by some miracle the ranking goes 26. Alderson 27. Alvarez 28. Anderson 29. Arrieta, etc.

That's odd

Hyde had it reported that way and now his post has changed. I think you may need the BA subscription to view it or, in Hyde’s case, reprint it.

Or, I should say

You need the subscription to view it and in no circumstance may you reprint it.

You don't need a subscription

Just to get the list (perhaps for the description or exact ranking of 26-50). Maybe by coincidence that’s where Mejia and Holt rank, but that happens to also be where they fall alphabetically among the 26-50 guys, so I think Hyde just didn’t realize it was alphabetical when he counted up the next 25.

Definitely too lazy to count it out!

But I think your theory may be the best one.

Mejia>Drabek

yeah

People worry about Mejia’s health, but Drabek’s the one who’s already had TJ.

But Mejia is in the Mets shitty system

so thus, must suck. The Phillies have better prospects so, obviously, Drabek is better.

Is Jason Heyward really the #1 prospect in baseball?

I know he’s good but he’s really that good?

by Zwill on Jul 9, 2009 8:27 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Apparently.

I don’t get the whole hullaballoo.

Yeah people are going crazy about him right now

He won’t be #1 when Stras signs, but he’s getting that kind of hype right now.

Does Atlanta try to trade him

maybe for Matt Holliday or Adrian Gonzalez? It’s not a wise move to trade him for three months of Holliday but it seems like they’re trying to make a push to win this year and he’s clearly a year or more away from being a contributor.

not a chance in hell

i hope they do but it’d never happen

by robcast23 on Jul 9, 2009 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

keep in mind

delmon was #1 for two full years so it doesn’t mean that much…

by robcast23 on Jul 9, 2009 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

absolutely

Heyward doesn’t have a discernible weakness.
