Post-2012 Indians Top 125 Prospect List

Top prospect lists created at this time of year are at one time the most easy and most difficult to prepare.  So many things change over the winter.  Trades, releases, Rule 5 draft and performance in the AFL, Parallel League and Fall Instructs.  All those things change the face of a prospect list.  Still, below is my best list at the moment.   Expect this list to change as gather more information on these players over the winter.

The standards for being on this list is 130 or less big league ABs, 50 innings pitched, or, for relief pitchers, 30 relief appearances.  Assumptions made include that Cody Allen and Corey Kluber will not reach 30 appearances or 50 IP and that Russ Canzler will not reach 130 ABs.  I have gone to 125 players although most of those guys below 50 are based on very little data. 

The thing that is striking to me about this list is that our top prospects are SS, that we have many more question marks than I would like to see at this time and, finally, that there is so much upside to this list that it is umbelievable.  Lots of guys with lots of intriguing tools who may not go anywhere or who may blossom into really good ML players.  Ronny Rodriguez and Carlos Moncrief are two such guys.  Intriguing on a Jonathon Van Every level.  Lots of tools but with significant holes still in their games.

If forture is with us we could be looking at a great farm system that appears only to be marginal right now.  However, the chances of that are slim.  Still, as an Indians' fan that is probably the best you could hope for at this point.
