Puckett Season 7 Top 50 Prospects

Puckett Inaugural Top 50 List


There is some pretty good starting pitching not too far away from reaching the show. Starting pitchers gobbled up 21 of the 51 spots on the list with another 8 being RP/CL types. Outfielders were the most prevelent position with 8 of them followed by second basemen and shortstops with 4 each. Anaheim and Houston claimed the most slots with 4 each. NY, Durham and Albuquerque each came in with 3. In my eyes Ried Timlin is second to none, Palaez might be the highest rated pitcher there ever was but his inability to keep the ball in the park hinders him. Tampa Bay has two great young players in Pinzon and worley. If a player had health issues his rating dropped.
