This season, more than any other in recent memory has seen the prospect rankings go through some violent upheaval. In this case though, it is not because of some massive trade that shifted all sorts of talent, or because the team has promoted a dozen promising young men to the highest level. No, this season, the rankings have been tossed into chaos by the epidemic of injuries that the Arizona minor league system has experienced. Not only do these injuries make assigning a ranking even more difficult than it already is, but the injuries are also forcing the Diamondbacks to rethink the schedule of competitiveness moving forward.
