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.

Dominican shortstop Gustavo Nunez, in the words of manager Dave Dombrowski, is 'a switch hitter who can run and make some outstanding defensive plays.' While he's a bit raw at the plate, his bat looks like a viable asset as well. He'll need to learn to be a smarter baserunner rather than rely on his raw speed to succeed at higher levels: his nice .304/.368/.431 line in high A last year faded to an unacceptable .215/.252/.289 after his promotion to AA. He'll need to do better than that to move further.
