Analyzing Baseball Prospects

I'm baaack!! I haven't posted in a long time, but here's a couple things I'm looking forward to that I'm doing this summer:

Tonight, I'm going to a Torii Hunter signing and I'm looking forward to it a lot. I'm also enjoying the prospect of going to the National Sports Collector Convention this summer is Chicago. It'd be my first time going to a card show since I started collecting.

Anyway, in this post, I'm going to be covering prospects and the top 5 for each team  for 2015. I will also give an indication on who I think the top prospect will be on each team and who has the highest ceiling/potential as well. I will also give an indication of the "impact prospect" on each team.

Here we go! Enjoy!
