I'm a little upset that they took a complete dump on Lars in their description because he still has the tools to be a great player and was hindered by a back injury last year as well. Glad to see they rate our system well though.

Every other player on the list had a season that could be described somewhere in a range of "solid" to "breakout" (except Iglesias, I guess). Lars is the only one who had a poor year who even made the list. That's a pretty big nod to his tools/potential. I mean, who would you put him ahead of? I could maybe see putting him ahead of Bowden and/or Tazawa, but that's basically it. Everyone else either has greater upside, or a much clearer path to the majors.

I like the list. I might have wanted to see Expo or Lin up a little higher, but it's a very deep system and once you get past the elite guys, the ranking process gets pretty dicey anyway.
