DrB's 2020 Giants Top 50 Prospects List

The end of the Winter Meetings is the traditional start day for DrB's Giants Top 50 Prospect list to be unveiled.  We then write up profiles of each prospect on a daily basis.   There may be more changes before the start of the season since Farhan seems to be interested in taking on more bad contracts for prospects, but there is no indication of when those trades might occur and if we wait too much longer, we run the profiles into Spring Training.  This preliminary list is your opportunity to suggest additional names or moving prospects up or down the list.  I do take reader comments into account and have made changes as result in prior lists.

As always, I advise readers to not get too hung up on the exact order(although we do take the rankings seriously).  The main objective of the exercise is to allow readers to become more familiar with prospects we may be rooting for at Oracle Park in the future.

I try to consider both ceiling and proximity to the majors in my rankings.  This is always challenging because it's the proverbial apples and oranges.  How do you compare a player like Jaylin Davis who is on the 40 man roster and who the Giants clearly want to give a serious chance to this season with, say, Alexander Canario who has shown both tools and performance but is still in the lower minors?
