Baseball America's Top 10 Reds prospects came out today, and I'm a little stunned by their list. Before we go any further here's what they came up with:
- Homer Bailey (7)
- Edwin Encarnacion (1)
- Richie Gardner (3)
- Joey Votto (2)
- B.J. Szymasnki (16)
- Thomas Pauly (8)
- Todd Coffey (10)
- William Bergolla (5)
- Tyler Pelland (30)
- Paul Janish (40)
Homer Bailey as the overall number one prospect is an absolute travesty. His upside might be Nolan Ryan, but he's barely thrown a professional pitch. BA values upside more than perfomance, but you'd think they would have learned something after ranking Chris Gruler the Reds top prospect a couple of years ago. I can't really quibble with the rest of the list, but the Homer Bailey selection shows that BA is certainly capable of being a parody of itself.
