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 free-agent-eligible outfielder for NPB's Fukuoka (SoftBank) Hawks, Hitoshi Tamura is a lifetime .282 hitter who hit 40 home runs for the Hawks in 2004. His reputation for playing solid defense and providing power from the right side of the plate makes him a tempting target for MLB teams in 2012.
