MLB Network Special Top 50 Prospects tonight
The MLB Network will have a special on the 2011 top 50 prospects in the minor leagues. It will air tonight from 9 PM to 10 PM eastern Standard time. It will re air at midnight tonight to 1 AM. It will also be airing a couple other times. I just wanted to pass this information on especially for those who have the MLB network.

Re: MLB Network Special Top 50 Prospects tonight
My major pet peeve with this list, and it has been since I found out a few years ago how it was compiled: Jonathan Mayo asks scouts for their Top 30 prospects and they get 1-30 points each. If every scout had the same #31 prospect, he wouldn't get a single vote. But if one scout ranks a guy #14 and no one else would have had him in their Top 50, he is considered a much better prospect by doing the list this way. Just not a fan of doing a Top 50 when you only ask people to rank 30 guys.

Re: MLB Network Special Top 50 Prospects tonight
Chapman comes in at #6...behind Dustin Ackley. Uh, no. I would take Chapman over Ackley without thinking twice.

Re: MLB Network Special Top 50 Prospects tonight
Scouts just drool over Ackley. Holding your own in the upper minors during your first year as a pro is impressive, but isn't he just a lesser Dustin Pedroia? That's nothing to dismiss, but above the guy who best profiles as the next Randy Johnson?

Re: MLB Network Special Top 50 Prospects tonight
There are only two prospects in all of baseball who I would even consider trading Chapman straight up for: Bryce Harper and Mike Trout, and even then I highly doubt I would make the trade.
