    Ike is already better than Smoak, who was prized but Ike has outplayed him...big time.

    Fernando Martinez is in the top 20...

    This looks right to me, Maybe sneak Domonic Brown or Dustin Ackley in there if you're bullish on one of them. Also depending on how concerned you are about MadBum's late season swoon you might drop him out.

    he did fine in his few innings of pitching last year, maybe his fastball wasn't at the velocity it probably should have been but the guy is only 20 years old, he is bound to get tired. He is still baseball's top pitching prospect not named Strausberg
    Want me to make you a painting similar to this vvvvvv?? Message me and we can work something out

    Here's my list for the NL:
    1. Jason Heyward, Braves
    2. Stephen Strasburg, National
    3. Madison Bumgarner, Giants
    4. Buster Posey, Giants
    5. Christian Friedrich, Rockies
    6. Josh Vitters, Cubs
    7. Pedro Alvarez, Pirates
    8. Jason Castro, Astros
    9. Mike Stanton, Marlins
    10. Starlin Castro, Cubs
    I love love love love love love Vitters. He's the first guy I really wanted when I started closely following the draft and the Cubs came through for me and picked him. But even with as much as I'm a homer for him, he is not a top 10 prospect. He's probably not even a top 30 prospect. He's a very good young hitter with oodles of projection, but who hasn't yet shown the plate discipline to be an elite prospect. Castro's not a top 10 prospect either, although he's a little closer.

    If he just got tired then that's one thing, but a lot of pitchers have their stuff regress pretty dramatically once they get some heavy innings on their arm. I mean 93-95 MPH fastball sharp breaking ball Madison Bumgarner is an elite pitching prospect. High 80's fastball mediocre breaking ball Bumgarner like we saw at the and of last year is not. There are very real concerns for him. I mean I'd probably have him at the back end of the top 10 just as a "give him the benefit of the doubt" kind of thing, but if he doesn't get that extra zip back on his fastball and tighten up that breaking ball he is not an elite prospect anymore.

    Bumgarner? Being he's the best pitching prospect in baseball I think he certainly does.
