Like this list alot. I would probably switch Kickham and Agosta and scooch Susac down nearer Peguero, but all in all this seems pretty solid snapshot of system. The real surprise here is Ty Blach. Pretty maligned draft pick amongst many Giants fans (myself included). But the Giants PP people do know their arms. Still, surprised he's the guy there over Johnson or Okert. Really like the Williamson rank and writeup.

I'd also move Belt up the 25U list. Still think his future is 1st division mlb 1b.

Wow, so basically if Belt were still eligible for this list he'd only be 5th? I certainly respect your opinion and the work you put in but I don't know that I can make myself agree with that, especially since he seems to have a pretty broad base of skills for a 1B, even if none of them are exceptional yet.

No surprise that you included Gustavo here, but how close was Nathaniel Javier as a consideration? Seems like his ability to "actually play baseball" is a slightly more known commodity, and even if the full package isn't Gustavo-level toolshed, the raw power is enticing.

Jason what kind of reports did you get on Osich? Other than being a 20 on the health scale there's still a lot of stuff in the arm there, right?

Just so everyone understands, nobody involved in writing these articles is being lazy. I understand the writing may be different from what some of you may have become accustomed to in the past. It doesn't mean it's wrong or bad or lazy. It just means it's different. And yes, we will continue to challenge our readers by bringing new concepts, terminology and ideas to the table.

There's a primer at the beginning of every top 10 list for your reference. And Jason has been more than happy to answer any of your questions.

Again, if you want to disagree with a player's assessment, that's completely acceptable and fine. But this staff, my staff, is not being lazy. Otherwise I promise you, they wouldn't be here.

Roger Keishnick was injured last year just as he was enjoying a breakout season. I know he's a tool-laden 26 yr.old with a lot of swing and miss but if he's for real It's not like a platoon of Blanco/Torres is insurmountable. Do you see a regular or 4th OF type at best?

On the top 10, 25 and under, what's the ceiling for Hector Sanchez? With his approach, I always assumed backup catcher since he doesn't work the count and doesn't square up like Pablo.

Edwin Escobar had a solid season. He's fairly young and has always missed bats. Did he merit consideration for the top 10?

Any word on Angel Villalona?
