It’s time to interrupt our regularly scheduled programming of ranking San Francisco Giants prospects. The Giants recently signed 17-year old Bahamian shortstop Ryan Reckley, a switch-hitter who is regarded as one of the top players in this year’s international free agency class. He signed for a $2.2 million bonus.
There’s a decent chance that the community sees Reckley as being one of the organization’s top 16 prospects, which means that he needs to be retroactively added to this year’s CPL, or just added to the current crop and picked now.
There’s no right way to do this, but I’m opting for a retroactive approach, because I think the purpose of the CPL is to reflect how the community feels about prospects, not to reflect the historical timeline of signings.
