Now that I've finally updated our Top 50 prospects list, here are just a few quick notes on how this year's fifty broke down.
- The oldest prospect on our list this season is relief pitcher Anthony Slama, whose 2011 age is 27.
- The youngest player, meanwhile, is 17-year old infielder Jorge Polanco.
- The average age of our fifty prospects is 22.5.
Here's a fun comparison to last year's top fifty.

| 2011 | 2 | 23.5 | 10 | 22.1 | 11 | 21.9 | 21 | 22.7 | 6 | 23.2 |
