Baseball America's Top 100

http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/top-100-prospects/2012/2612998.html

I'm sure that the OTM bloggers will have their own post up shortly, but if y'all wanted a place to discuss the list, here it is.

AL East-wise, I think Lavarnway should have been in there (he made minorleagueball.com's community list and KG's list, and it's tough to argue with a 25-HR major-league-ready 1B/DH with a potential to catch), and Hak-Ju Lee and Travis d'Arnaud are too low for my tastes.

What do you folks think?

I think one reason Swihart gets rated so highly

is that the general perception seems to be that, even if he isn’t a catcher, he can handle a different plus defensive position. And because he hasn’t had a chance to fail at anything yet.

I'll say it

I’ll say it, BA is wrong. ignoring a guy who is going to contribute in the major leagues for sure so you can make a list of guys that have supposed upside isn’t the way to go.

I like tools too but just because a guy has tools doesn’t mean he can play baseball, and just because a guy doesn’t have a ton of tools doesn’t mean he can’t play.
