Each year I like to compile a composite prospect list, taking the top prospects lists from across the web, assigning points to each ranking and then using these points to create a composite ranking. I do this each February for the top 100 prospects in baseball, which can be found at my MLB Composite Prospect Index site and I also do it for each team, including my favorite, the Cardinals.
Below is my final Cardinals Top 10 Composite Prospect listing. My preliminary list was posted on January 12th and I have since doubled the number of sites included in the list. I have also added a separate page with a link to the spreadsheet as well as links to the expert sites that I used for the composite prospect list.
