Time for some Saturday morning light minor league reading...
- John Sickels gave a brief scouting report on each of the players taken in the Rule 5 draft on Thursday.
- John also released his top 20 prospects from the Los Angeles Dodgers system and from the Seattle Mariners system.
- Baseball Instinct released their top 10 lists for the Braves (link), the Giants (link), the Padres (link), the Dodgers (link) and the Marlins (link).
- Seedlings to Stars continued on with their top 100 prospect list, with #30 A.J. Cole (link), #31 David Holmberg (link), #32 Jake Odorizzi (link), and #33 Miguel Sano (link).
- Marc Hulet of Fangraphs released the Athletics top 15 prospect list.
- Bullpen Banter released their top 15 prospects in the Cardinals system, and their top 15 for the Mets.
- MILB.com posted a Q&A with one of the top pitching prospects in the Rockies system, Christian Friedrich.
- Not really prospect related, but Ben Hill from MLBlogs had an interesting write up of his time at the Winter Meetings.
- I wasn't aware of this, but apparently every year a new King of Baseball is named at the Winter Meetings, and this year it's Chito Rodriguez.
- This one is a bit older, but I didn't realize that the Yankees' AAA team will be playing all over the Northeast as their home stadium in Scranton Wilkes Barre undergoes renovations for the season.
- I posted the results from the Fake Teams Dynasty League Minor League Draft for round 4.
- I also posted some excerpts from Kevin Goldstein's chat last Friday.
