Baseball Prospect Rankings for 2012
Now updated for 2012's Top Prospects

Remember: this page is the result of an automatic process that re-sorts and re-ranks players often.

2/7/2012: Roman Hernandez has signed with the Royals, and will be sending a half-million dollar signing bonus back to his family in Cuba, one way or the other.

Seattle took a flier on the sometimes dominant lefty reliever Hong-Chih Kuo today, signing him to an incentive-laden 1-year deal. Kuo, one of baseball's best lefthanders the last decade or so, struggled with both physical and emotional turmoil in his last year as a Dodger.
ScoutingBook.com is the backyard toolshed of a handful of swell fellas (and one sassy lady) who live, work or breathe baseball, information processing, online gaming, economic theory, infographicology, or some combination of those things.
We made it to combine our overlapping work for our own benefit and amusement. If it's useful to you, too, that's a bonus.
For more about us, and how our prospect-ranking system works, read this.
Fine print: actually, there's no such thing as Scouting Book Membership right now, deluxe or otherwise. But if there ever is, we promise to give a free upgrade to everyone who ever supported us with dollars. We're keeping a list!
(We're just regular unpaid people, not some big fancy corporation. We promise to waste any money we receive on beer, pizza and baseball-related toys.)
