I think
I think 20 would be too many.  Franbkly, I think the last several havn't been very accurate anyway, nto to say it isn't a cool list.

hmmm.
do most people on this board really think that Waldrop is a better prospect than morlan?

Durability
Morlan projects as a reliever whereas Waldrop projects as a starter for durability reasons. So even though I love Morlan's peripherals, all things considered, I'd say Waldrop is a better prospect. Stll, I have nt been voting for either and would not until 14 or 15.
Joe Mauer for MVP.

It
Might have something to due with all that many people look at the stats in the minors and see who is doing better when Waldrop actually has a much lower ceiling that Morlan but Waldrop is having better results as he sould being older and a college pitcher (if i remember right).

Waldrop and...
...Morlan are both 20 years old, both were high school pitchers taken in the 2004 draft.  Waldrop was our third pick in the 1st round, Morlan was taken in the 3rd round.

Give Terry Ryan Credit...
Assuming this top 10 list is reasonably accurate, this means that Ryan was able to acquire 2 of our top 10 prospects by trading Romero and Castro?  That's the way to restock the farm system.
