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.

Steve 'Shooter' Hunt is an erratic but high-ceiling righthander from Tulane who seems to have missed his opportunity as a starter, though a career as a confounding reliever isn't quite out of reach yet. With a plus-action fastball, strikeout curve and an already-polished changeup, he has terrific raw stuff, but his spotty command will have to improve, and fast, before every team in MLB gives up on him. It's tough to imagine a better place for a young pitcher than Minnesota, but sometimes a change of scenery can help. Hey, isn't Billy Beane building a stable of oddball rejects again?
