Everyone's top prospect lists

[pots]

This guy put together a nice compilation of prospect lists:

Since I had time, I went ahead and put together a consensus list.  (Point scale 10 for 1st, 9 for 2nd, etc.)  Lyles was the unanimous #1 (surprise) and only DeShields, Foltynewicz & Martinez showed up on all 10 "ballots".  Junior was 8 points short of a unanimous choice for 2nd (1 3rd, 2 4ths and a 5th).  Mier was left off a ballot but still slipped into 4th overall on the strength of a 2nd and 2 3rds.  Nobody else appeared on more than 8 ballots.

1   Jordan Lyles, RHP                 100 2   Delino DeShields Jr., 2B/OF:           82 3   Mike Foltynewicz, RHP:                   64 4   Jiovanni Mier, SS:                   51 5   J.D. Martinez, OF:                   48 6   Jonathan Villar, SS:                 40 7   Tanner Bushue, RHP:               35 8   Ariel Ovando, OF:                    30 9   Jay Austin, OF:                       23 10   Austin Wates, OF:                   20

I think that, among other things, this demonstrates how empty the void is.

The void knows no boundaries:
11   Jimmy Paredes        15
12   Mike Kvasnicka         8
13   Ben Heath               7
14   Vincent Velasquez    6
15   Jose Altuve             6
16   Aneury Rodriguez     4
17   Mark Melancon        3
18   Ross Seaton           3
19   Dallas Keuchel        3
20   Jose Perdomo         3
21   Rod Quintero          2
22   Collin Delome          1

Yeah ... I did those too, but I guess there is some limit to what I am willing to post.  I even had a wise-ass comment about Collin Delome's inclusion all ready to go.

Not really ... his was based on the first 5 lists that came out ... this data is from 10 lists that have been posted by now.  Note also the differences in ranking.

I have no idea whether the first 5 were more or less authoritative ... it is all just marking time until the season starts.

I didn't have access to all 10 of these. Thanks for combining them.  I didn't see Keith Law's on the combined list.   he left Folty off his list.
