Arguably one of the best times in the Covering the Corner calendar is finally here — the annual Top Prospect Countdown!
This may also be the best time to follow the prospects of the Cleveland Guardians with their depth and top-end talent. Some of them were drafted, some of them were signed internationally and some arrived in trades.
Last season the Guardians saw an explosion of young talent reach the majors. In total, eight of our top 20 from last year made it to the major-league roster. Cade Smith, our No. 19 prospect, finished fifth in the AL Rookie of the Year voting.
