February 13, 2017 2017 ProspectsThe Top 101 Prospects of 2017Previous Rankings: 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 | 2007 While it's entirely likely you'll skip right ahead to the rankings, we wanted to provide some context for the list. As always, prospect lists are a snapshot in time—in this case January 1, when the list was compiled. It's possible a prospect's situation has changed since then, or that our evaluator's feelings on a prospect have changed, due to new information. Within a week of the list being submitted, Jeffrey Paternostro told me there were only seven rankings he hated already. I'm guessing that number has risen as time's gone on. We hope you enjoy reading and debating the list as much as we enjoyed putting it together. —Craig Goldstein 1. Alex Reyes, RHP, St. Louis Cardinals 2. Dansby Swanson, SS, Atlanta Braves 3.

I always like seeing a writer go all-in for a prospect, and there are a handful here that I believe you're much higher on than most. Good read.
