Hey folks!
MLB and Keith Law has come out with their top 100 prospect lists. I wanted to open this up and let everyone share their knowledge and minor league opinion. What are some of the biggest snubs or biggest ranking mistakes (too high / too low) made in these lists. What does everyone think? Let's hear it.

I won't comment on Law's but will have a closer look at MLB.com's soon. The only thing I know for now is that they (most) continue to under rate Rays prospects. Amed Rosario is WAY too high, while Willy Adames is WAY too low. I also think that if Moniak hadn't been drafted so high, he'd be ranked closer to where he belongs, in the 45-60 range. The pro-Yankees stance is also a little sickening. Hunter Dozier is well ahead of Justus Sheffield, for instance, but missed the top 100 along with all KC prospects.

MLB.com list
-Bradley Zimmer is wayyyy too high on the list.. Basically a platoon guy right now unless he drastically improves against LHP.. He's shown nothing so far to support that..
-Tyler Glasnow is over rated again.. I think he ends up in the pen because he doesn't have the control/command to last in the rotation (hope I'm wrong because he has dynamite stuff).
-Agree with Mat - Amed Rosario is over rated.. Don't get me wrong he will be a very good baseball player but I don't have him that high.
-Ronald Acuna missing the top 100 is a head scratcher
-Agree with Mat again Mickey Moniak belongs later in the top 100.. Give me Senzel, Ray, Lewis, Groome over him from the '16 draft class
-Robert Stephenson does not belong in the top 100, Sean Newcomb probably doesn't either
-Mitch Keller should be higher
-Maitan at 32 is a JOKE.. C'mon - maybe he ends up being a star, but there's no way i'd take him over guys like Vlad Jr, Kyle Tucker, Mejia, Rutherford..
KLAW list
*I actually agreed with quite a few of his rankings this year.. different from years past.
-Love seeing Bellinger at #6, future gold glover and MVP candidate
-Glasnow is appropriate ranked at 25
-Acuna appropriately ranked at 36
-He ranked Maitan about where I did in my top 100 (#59)
-The Braves are unbelievably stacked
-Delvin Perez is over rated (even though I own him)
-Luis Castillo is now over-rated since he went to the Reds.. most likely headed to the pen (even though I own him)
-Moncada at 17 is laughable..
-Having Kopech over Alex Reyes and ranked at 7 is laughable
-Fernando Tatis Jr. at 47 was a nice surprise! I like seeing new names pop up.

Since I don't subscibe to ESPN, I can't access Keith Law's Top 100. Will make comments about MLB's at another time. All I know is that I traded away 4 of the MLB's top 100 - lol.
