Top 101 Prospects in The Bigs - Season 4

THE BIGS TOP 100 List Season 4

The level of overall talent in the Bigs minor leagues has increased every year and this year looks to provide the toughest competition as far as getting your prospect a slot on the list. So you may have had a player that made the list last season but was knocked off the list this year. This year it's the City Limits of Austin that lays claim as the team with the most spots on the list with nine, followed closely by the Shakers out of SLC and the Killer Whales of Seattle both with eight. Seattle was first last year with nine. Starting pitching once again won out as the most popular postition with 30 SP's on the list down 3 from last year. Shortstop was next with 20 down 4 from 16 last year. Although we figure some of those shortstops will be converted to 3B down the road. Hence there is only one 3B on the list ATM. Both Seattle and Jackson have 2 players in the top 10. Jacque Puffer is this season's No. 1 prospect, ending Amp Palmer's two year reign on the throne. There were many good players left out so any player on this list should have good value.
