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.

A high-school lefty drafted by the Braves for his 'pitchability', the Braves ultimately cut DeVall in 2010 after the team and player failed to agree on treatment for his elbow problems. (The Braves are known for not appreciating disobedient or headstrong rookies, especially those who prefer Twitter to therapy.) Before being shut down and ultimately released, DeVall made 19 starts at A-level Rome (7-9, 4.39, 1.51 WHIP) mainly as a failed exercise in durability. Still, he's very young and his stuff is solid, so don't count him out just yet; there are 29 other organizations who might take a chance on the youngster.
