<div>Realistically, the $10 guys are all of marginal value, given that most prospect burn at least a year of their contracts before they are worth anything, and quite a few will never be even be useful major leaguers. There's the occasional Mike Trout, but there are a lot more Justin Smoaks. So I would conclude that there's a VERY small number of potentially useful guys scattered widely across the league (the $5 and under ones). At the same time, however, history suggests there will be suckers who will give real value for some of those $10 spins at the wheel, so the Berliners will likely leave a few cars stripped and sitting on cinder blocks around the USML neighborhood.</div>

<div id="AOLMsgPart_0_54a157d5-1d98-4d35-8ab3-de2621c0878f" style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff"><pre style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><tt>It's out. And it's not particularly kind to the self-proclaimed King
of Prospects, our very own Brad Lee Badfinger. Here you go:
1. Jurisckson Profar - Lake Michigan Calamari $5
2. Dylan Bundy - Riptorns $5 (But his contract is running)
3. Manny Machado - Berliners $10
4. Wil Myers - Berliners $10
5. Travis D'Arnaud - Brats $2 (But out for the season with a knee
injury)
6. Taijuan Walker - Berliners $10
7-10 NL Players
11. Francisco Lindor - Berliners $10
12. NL
13. Bubba Starling - Block's Bombers $19
14. NL
15. Nick Castellanos - Klein Nine!! $5
16-17 NL Players
18. Byron Buxton - Berliners $5
19. NL
20. Carlos Correa - Hoosier Daddies $2
So....what do we conclude?
1. Berliners with 5 of the top 10 (and 4 of the top 7) AL prospects.
2. Riptorns with onely 1 top 11 prospect and he has a running contract.
3. Calamari with the #1 overall prospect.
4. Brats, Bombers, Daddies and Klein Nine (?!?!?!) with one top
prospect apiece.
That is all.
