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 one of the hottest arms in the White Sox organization, the polydactylic Perez had 'future closer' written all over him until the Sox tried passing him through waivers. He bounced through the Indian, Yankee and Padre systems, and even did a stint in Mexico and the DR before being picked up by a creative St Louis organization for another ride around the block. Despite his bounces through the minors, Perez remains a high-ceiling, high-risk prospect, a real late-inning weapon in waiting. He's always maintained a strikeout to walk ratio over three to one, so if the right coach can maximize his effectiveness, he could still be a major player.
