A selection of my many thoughts:

Hermida should probably be higher, as he's likely one of the top 5 (at least) prospects in the game. He's one of the three most likely prospects IMO to draw 100+ walks in a given season (along with Arizona's Conor Jackson and Carlos Quentin).

Ian Stewart is an interesting call, I would've had him at about 65 contact, 75 home run power, 75 plate discipline, 40-45 avoiding Ks. His range should be considerably higher, as he projects to be above-average (approaching GG-caliber) defensively. No Alex Gordon?

I think most will disagree with your judgement of Brandon Wood. I don't think he'll be much above average as a contact hitter, but he has tremendous raw power. Plate discipline is questionable, although we'll see how he plays at a level that he hasn't spent several months annihilating already.

As for pitchers, Francisco Liriano is a rather glaring omission. Rogers is closer to 90/55/70 at this point, with current control in the single digits. Volstad has pretty nasty stuff and is more like a 75-80 there talent-wise.

Lots of pretty solid work here. If you don't follow the minors that much it's difficult to get a good feel for things, but for the most part you're not doing too badly.
