Methods: I just averaged the rank of each prospect across the three evaluators. If a guy was not ranked in a list, I assigned him the rank of 21. The only exception was 2010 draftee Yasmani Grandal and Kyle Waldrop, who I assume were left unranked by BA and Sickels because of minimal playing time in the minors.
Anyway, hope you find it interesting. Looking forward to seeing the Red Reporter prospect list tomorrow!
