Still making my way through the list, but Bruce comes in at #1, Homer Bailey comes in at #9, Johnny Cueto comes in at #34 and Joey Votto at #44 and Drew Stubbs at #100.

Votto seems to to get the most random rankings from people. Some people put him around the top 20 some people put him out of the top 50 and then other put him some where in between. I wonder if its just because he plays 1b or if they just kinda draw names out of hats once they get past the 1st tier prospects
At what point does a guy stop being a prospect and what constitutes a "prospect"? Kosuke Fukudome, how is he a prospect and at #30 to boot?? A bunch of those guys are locks on the majors including Ellsbury and Chamberlin.
I'd be curious to see how many names the Reds have on that list compared to other teams.
I'd figure it out myself but I'm at work.
Within our division:
Reds(5): 1-Bruce, 9-Bailey, 34-Cueto, 44-Votto, 100-Stubbs
Cubs(4): 30-Fukudome, 47-Soto, 75-Colvin, 82-Gallagher
Cardinals(3): 5-Rasmus, 85-Anderson, 97-Perez
Pirates(3): 14-McCutchen, 61-Walker, 89-Pearce
Brewers(2): 23-LaPorta, 72-Parra
Astros(1): 53-Towles
Just Missed: 4 people did their Top 150 list and then they combined them to make the Top 100.
Mesaraco got the most votes of any of the Reds with 3. Maloney got a Top 100 vote. Francisco and Frazier each got one vote .
15 JAKE
McGEE LHP, RAYS
346: Strikeouts the last two years, third in the minors behind Matt Maloney (357) and Gio Gonzalez (351).
Great stat Superdude. If Maloney has more Ks than IP AGAIN this year (for the third straight year), do people start taking him seriously as a prospect?
Five of the top 100 prospects is great! It's even greater that four are in the top level of the minors, or already on our Major League club. I didn't expect Stubbs in the top 100 though.
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
