It's not quite a power rankings, but I was tracking a bunch of top 100 prospect lists, and created a consensus from all of them. The lists included are Baseball Prospectus, MLB.com, Keith Law, Fangraphs, Baseball America, and The Dynasty Guru, which is fantasy-specific (Billy Hamilton #6!). I would normally include John Sickels' but his aren't out yet, and I don't necessarily agree with the consensus (I like some lists more than others.) But I thought it'd be interesting to look at the breakdown in the league. (And I'm not trying to show off -- I like my system, but being so pitching heavy makes it riskier -- I'd put my system Top 5 but not #1.)
Athletics (4 of top 140):
Corey Seager (30)
Jackie Bradley Jr. (41)
Henry Owens (49)
Hak-Ju Lee (102)
Angels (6 of top 140):
Andrew Heaney (27)
D.J. Peterson (73)
Rafael Montero (76)
Lance McCullers (94)
Devon Travis (125)
Jose Peraza (137)
Braves (6 of top 140 + 2 asterisks):
Javier Baez (4)
C.J. Edwards (60)
Blake Swihart (63)
Stephen Piscotty (66)
Michael Choice (85)
Joey Gallo (87)
Wilmer Flores (122)
**Alexander Guerrero** -- not included on lists since he's not considered a "true prospect."
**Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez** -- same case as Guerrero, though based on his performance, he likely wouldn't have cracked any lists anyway.
Cardinals (5 of top 140 + 1 asterisk - but 2 of the top 3!):
Xander Bogaerts (2)
Oscar Taveras (3)
**Carlos Martinez** -- only included on Baseball America and The Dynasty Guru, because he exceeded the # of days of service time, though he didn't top 50 innings. Clearly he would have made every list, and I'd expect he'd fall around Pederson (in the #30 range overall.)
