  • Minor league ratings

    Where do I find a list of minor leaguers that contains their number/letter grade? (9D, 8C, etc.)

  • #2



    front page under scouting should help
    not rotiserrie- H2H both teams redraft. (league 2 we can keep 2 players)
    1)private league. 12 team mixed, snake draft, 6x6 h2h daily. cats are r, rbi, sb, ba, oba, hr & w, saves, k's and k9's, era, whip. (k's and k9's plus we need 42 innings pitched per week, leans toward good pitching league)

    2)private league, 12 team mxed, snake draft 6x5 weekly h2h.

      That only seems to show organizational reports and reports by position. Is there a single list of MLB prospects with their ratings? Thanks in advance.

        Not on the site. I believe there was one we provided to purchasers of the Minor League Baseball Analyst.

          Wow. So you have to buy an HQ book to get those rankings, even if you pay for access to the website? I wouldn't think that a subscription based Fantasy Baseball website would hold back something as basic as a ranking of prospects from their paying customers. That's hard to believe.

            Not a question of holding anything back... we had the table available as an input to the book, since in prep for the book we had to assemble all of the ratings in one place as data feed to the book. We distributed this year to book buyers for the first time. But it's not in a format that's easily rendered online.

              I think there is so much content on the minors, cut so many different ways, that I don't miss a straight ranking. Everyone is going to have their own ranking criteria anyway, as some people rank by how high is the player's ceiling, some rank by the player's ETA, some rank by where the player is in the MLB team's depth chart, some rank by what the player will produce in 2014, etc.

                No there wasn't unless I missed something. It was just an Excel version of the book. There is a set of rankings on the site but not with the ratings. I've asked for that in the past myself.

                Anyway, no one's holding that back.

                  You missed something. There were spreadsheets there with all of the bio information and ratings from the player boxes.

                    I used that extensively. It was hard to miss. But there wasn't a ranking of prospects in order that included the ratings. I thought that's what was asked for above.

                          You can but that won't duplicate the Top 100.

                            Just so you know where I'm coming from, I'm in a league that has a straight draft of farm players. You keep the farm guys until they get called up, even if it's for years. It's a 12 team, NL only keeper. The farm roster is 5 players at any given time. You have to go pretty deep into the pool to find talent when 60 guys are rostered. The most helpful thing from other sites is a straight 1-100 ranking of prospects. So when you get to your 4th or 5th guy, you just look for the next best available player. I figured that since HQ has the most comprehensive research out there, they would certainly compile a list like that, and the player would have his number/letter grade already assigned. It would be a great feature.

                              This will be what you want, then: http://www.baseballhq.com/content/mi...-top-prospects : the Top 100 in ranking order.

                              It doesn't have the ratings on it but you won't need those as you just want the next best available player.

                              And you'll want to read this: http://www.baseballhq.com/content/mi...100-roundtable to understand why the top 100 isn't actually the top 100!
