  1. Maybe Trent Harris should be added to list? I thought the Giants were high on him.. Great work on the list Doc. Thank you and Happy holidays!

    1. Looks like I already had Trent Harris at #29. My bad.

  2. Doc > I think Thomas Gavello > Catcher > should be rated higher. I believe we could see him on the major league roster by 2027 and/or depending on injuries sometime in 2026 > believe he has most all of the right stuff!

  3. Intrigued as to who has had the biggest “Fall from grace”. Are we looking at Crawford? Assuming he is a dud now?

    1. I wouldn't call it a fall from grace. It's just the reality that dude had a series of horrific injuries that most pitchers don't come back from.

  4. Let’s go to the fall from grace then.

    Prospects who made your top say 10-15 who now sit as Honorable mentions. Are there any barring Reggie?

    1. Maybe Walker Martin? I don't remember exactly where I had him last year. Will Bednar makes it back from nowhere into the Top 50 on the strength of scouting reports of his fastball hitting triple digits.
