A recent issue of Baseball Digest had post draft prospect rankings.
Our draft has helped. We have 4 of the top 50 with C Troy Zehnder coming in at 44 and 7 of the top 100 with 1st overall pick Mike Johnson checking in at 70, SP Dan Wilson at 90. SP's David Arroyo and Allan Velazquez 177 and 104 respectively. SP Kyle Fay checks in at 188. So we, per this ranking, have 12 of the top 200 prospects and the 4th ranked minor league system. Detroit's 1st pick, SS Josh Timperio, has leaped to the top of the heap and is the #1 overall prospect. Detroit has already called him up and he's on their IBL roster as a 21 year old. 2010 6th overall pick 3B Danny Hipolito of San Jose ranks 2nd.
