After calculating and projecting [...]
I roll with the punches so I survive/ I bob and weave, move my feet from side to side./ I’m back, stronger than ever, surprise surprise./ They try to take me out the game, but I’s alive.

The MLB Network recently aired its TOP 50 Prospects list the other night. The list was put together by Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com. The list has players that still carry Rookie status (guys like Fernando Martinez were left off due to service time). Over the next couple of weeks, player profiles and evaluations will follow [...]
