Do you have a link for this?
I think Josh Vitters should be in the top 25, he was tearing up the past month and has shown a good glove.
Not surprised at the Alvarez tumble, but at least has shown something so maybe he can recover if the second-half adjustment to AA starts to work.

Oops, I thought the thread was Baseball Prospectus last night and I couldn’t find it there.

Freeman at 11 jumps out a bit to me as too high. So does Yonder at 15.

He’s been overshadowed by JayHey.

Wow! The Giants actually have 2 prospects in the Top 25. I can’t believe Brian Sabean has keept them this long.

Don't jinx ...
us! Next thing you know, with the post all-star slide and lack of hitting, he’ll overreact (thinking the Giants are a legitimate contender or just trying to save his job) and over Baumgarner and Posey for short term guys like Holliday and Nick Johnson, or MI who had a sub 700 OPS last season (Sanchez)…
