Here it is, the comprehensive guide to all things Prospector Ralph for the 2017 Offseason. Each and every teams’ Preview from 2016 and 2017 is here. As well as, links to the Fantasy Prospect Podcast episode where each system is discussed. You’ll find links to last year’s Pre-season and Mid-season Top 100’s, and the Top 100’s for 2017 will eventually be linked here as well. This should be a handy tool to help you navigate through roughly 500+ prospects, and all the draft prep-material you could possibly need for minors, dynasty, and first year player drafts. Pretty much the only thing we don’t do is read it for you, and based on my illustrious typo career, neither do I!

Updated First Year Player Draft Top 50 |
48’er!
@Count de Monetball: .Ha! Right here dog!
Ralph your dedication is appreciated.
What outfielders should we look out for a rookie 2017 power numbers breakout?
@RD: Judge and Renfroe are probably the biggest mashers of the bunch. Benintendi, Bell, and Winker. Could have surprising home run totals by year end. Then there’s players like Derek Fisher, Lewis Brinson, and Dylan Cozens that are difficult to predict due to ETA.
@Ralph Lifshitz: Iknow Dahl doesn’t have rookie eligibility but would you rather have him or Benetendi in 2017?
@M: Dahl
Awesome stuff, Rapper!
@Grey: Thanks Big Chief!
Thank you Ralph for doing what you do.
@Raoul Duke: Thanks for reading Duke!
Hay Ralph i told you a few posts ago that my Dynastydraft is coming soon. I’m in a league with the cats AB,RBI,HR,STL,BB,Avg,SLG/W,L,IP,K,SV,ERA,WHIP.
I can stash my guys a maximum of 8 Years so ETA is not the biggest problem.
We drafted some Minor guys last year so this year are all Guys eligible without 150 AB or 50 IP.
So these are obviously the “First year players” and some other guys. I looked at your Midseason Top 100 2016 and found out that there are (besides the first year players) only 3 guys available in my league. Thes boys are Dylan Cozens(PHI),Josh Ockimey (BOS) and Ronald Ocuna (ATL).
If you need them to insert in your “First Year Player Draft Rankings” at which Positions would you place them ?
@Saints:
I forgot to add to repeat the poster above me
“Thank you Ralph for doing what you do!!”
@Saints: Thanks for reading!
@Saints: I’d put Cozens behind Senzel, Collins, Lewis, and right before Ray. If it’s a league where you cold hold on a player for 4 years I might consider Maitan if I was set at OF and had some depth there in my minors.
@Ralph Lifshitz:
Yeah ok thanks for this opinion and the other 2 Ockimey and Ocuna ?
@Saints: Sorry looked quick at work! Acuna after Ray. I may even be low on Acuna. I’d have Ockimey rated around where I have Erceg and Nolan Jones ranked. Probably about there.
@Ralph Lifshitz:
No problem thanks for the quick answer :) so i will have my ranking set for the first few picks:
Maitan
Senzel
Collins
Lewís
Cozens
Ray
Acuna
Thanks for the great work :)
I’m holding the 11th pick but I’m pretty sure i can get at least one of these guys. If its going to be close i will try to uptrade. Is there a dropoff in your rankings and where can you see this ?
Hey Ralph, great stuff!
I have a minors draft coming up and considering these guys for my 2nd pick on the way back. Im having trouble ordering/ranking them them in 6×6 league, OBP instead of avg and SLG as the 6th. Im more intersted in guys up by 2018 ao they can help me compete.
Mejia, isan, k lewis, w calhoun, b bradley, i happ, k tucker, bellinger, senzel, z collins, eloy, devers, jp craw-ford, d fisher
Thanks!
@Julius: Eloy, Devers, Fisher, Senzel, Tucker, Calhoun, Isan, Happ, Bellinger, Collins, Bradley, Crawford, Mejia, Lewis.
The last 4 could be in any order.
Very cool page
@Alan: Thank you sir!
