Warning: players who appear in our live prospects listing, but are ranked near the very bottom of the list, may only appear because they were once ranked higher and still technically qualify. As a side-effect of our automated processes, the end of the publicly-visible list also collects longshots, recently-retired players, foreign players unlikely to enter MLB, near-busts and other extreme dark-horse candidates. It does not mean that there are not 'better' prospects, only that better prospects in our system lack enough accurate data and/or scouting inputs to become visible at this time. Always read the detailed information and consult other sources before drawing conclusions about prospect viability, and never, ever, ever treat a 'ranking' alone as if it's meaningful.

Once a tip-top pitching prospect, lefthander Chuck Lofgren hit a wall while showing off for his new owners in San Francisco last season, and with his development apparently at a standstill after seven years of minor league ball, the Giants are now considering him a corner outfielder and/or first baseman. He's got the athleticism for it, and it would be fun to see that power arm in right field, but as far as rebuilding projects go, there are safer bets out there.
