Baseball America, the original publication that ranked minor league prospects, has been more aggressive in updating their prospect lists this season. Recently, they did a mid-season update of the Top 30 prospects for all minor league teams. I can’t blame them — nothing gets more attention in the minor leagues than a Top 30 list. But there is also another good reason to do a mid-season update: the trade deadline. Many prospects are going to get dealt in the next week and in the past, fans would get angry or excited over a trade because of a prospect ranking that was compiled back in December and January.
