    Not sure if anyone's bothered to do this yet, but Canucks Army has been doing a top-100 series on the best prospects in this year's draft.

     

    Figured I'd take a few minutes and list their rankings after the first round (#32-100). Names are clickable and link to profile articles on Canucks Army.

     

    I'll come back later and add the first round rankings (#1-31) once they've all been published.

     

    Anyway, here goes:

     

    #32 Michael Rasmussen

    #33 Mason Shaw

    #34 Robert Thomas

    #35 Shane Bowers

    #36 Isaac Ratcliffe

    Not sure I'll pay >$20 monthly just for that (unless I looked up the wrong site or something), but thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.

     

    Edit: Guess I can just PVR Jays in 30 every day. But in my experience Shaw's "Guide" indicating a channel is on Jays in 30 is only correct 50% of the time, half the other time it's just sportsnet central or something lame.

    Prospect Heat Check: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is going to be a star just like his dad

     

    Nothing tantalizes and titillates baseball people quite like someone whose talent is so obvious, so preternatural that he defies every expectation of what he can and should be. And so with that in mind – and with a certain amount of caution but even more excitement – two scouts this week offered the same opinion: By the end of the 2017 season, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is going to be the best prospect in baseball.

    This is fascinating for any number of reasons. First is Guerrero’s age: He is barely 18 years old and playing for the Lansing Lugnuts, the Class A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. Rare is the low-level teenage player who generates such widespread acclaim that he is even considered among the elite of the elite. Moreover, never has the son of a Hall of Famer – the elder Vlad fetched 71.7 percent of the vote this year, his first time on the ballot, and will be inducted in 2018 as a nine-time All-Star with a career .318/.379/.553 line – been this good.

    Only 11 Hall of Famers’ sons have played in the big leagues, and the best of them – Eduardo Perez, Dick Sisler and Dale Berra – were average players. Vlad Jr. is not average. He is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound third baseman who impressed scouts last year in rookie ball and this season is causing regret for the other 29 teams that didn’t pony up the $3.9 million the Blue Jays paid to sign him in the summer of 2015.

     

    academy of his uncle Wilton Guerrero, Vladimir’s brother, Junior is hitting .327/.422/.500. He has uncommon plate discipline for a teenager: 25 walks against 23 strikeouts. The worst thing one can say about him is that his body – never exactly his calling card – will force a move from third base. Idealistically, he’ll wind up at a corner-outfield spot. First base may be his ultimate destination.

     

    While landing at first tends to erode a player’s prospect value, Cody Bellinger’s torrid start for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season reminds that a truly special bat carries immense value no matter the position.

    It propelled Guerrero to the top of this season’s first Prospect Heat Check. It will ensure his place in plenty more. In the meantime, here are 29 more prospects worth keeping an eye on as the minor league season grinds into the summer months.
