So, I’ve already given you ESPN’s take on the Rays prospects. Now here is the list from Baseball America’s Prospect handbook, given to us for viewing pleasure by Mark Topkin.

Here’s the List:

1. David Price,lhp
2. Tim Beckham, ss
3. Wade Davis, rhp
4. Reid Brignac, ss
5. Desmond Jennings, of
6. Matt Moore, lhp
7. Nick Barnese, rhp
8. Jeremy Hellickson, rhp
9. Jake McGee, lhp
10. Jeff Niemann, rhp
11. Kyle Lobstein, lhp
12. Albert Suarez, rhp
13. John Jaso, c
14. Fernando Perez, of
15. Heath Rollins, rhp
16. Mitch Talbot, rhp
17. Alex Cobb, rhp
18. Jake Jefferies, c
19. Ryan Royster, of
20. Reid Fronk, of
21. Mike Sheridan, 1b
22. Chris Luck, rhp
23. Joe Cruz, rhp
24. Alex Colome, rhp
25. Mayo Acosta, c
26. Mike McCormick, c
27. Kyeon Kang, of
28. Ty Morrison, of
29. Jason McEachern, rhp
30. Shawn O’Malley, ss

They also rank Ruggiano at 31. The Rays have the fourth best ranked system, with the Rangers, Marlins and A’s behind them. The top 20 look good. Beyond that, the 21-30 is out of my range of  knowledge. If you know about these guys, please share with us. As we have already established since the start of the playoffs, PRICE IS KING.  The list ranks Hellickson and McGee too low, IMO. They should be before Moore and Barnese. The rest are fair, but they may be overestimating John Jaso.
