LSB Community Prospect Rankings start next week

Next week, we kick off the twice-yearly tradition of doing the Dirkatron Memorial LSB Community Prospect Rankings.  We generally do a top 30 in the offseason, and in case you are curious, here's what last offseason's rankings looked like:

1 -- Joey Gallo

2 -- Jorge Alfaro

3 -- Nomar Mazara

4 -- Jake Thompson

5 -- Chi Chi Gonzalez

6 -- Nick Williams

7 -- Luis Ortiz

8 -- Luke Jackson

9 -- Lewis Brinson

10 -- Ryan Rua

11 -- Ryan Cordell

12 -- Corey Knebel (since traded)

13 -- Travis Demeritte

14 -- Keone Kela

15 -- Jairo Beras

16 -- Michael DeLeon

17 -- Andrew Faulkner

18 -- Alec Asher

19 -- Jerad Eickhoff

20 -- Ronald Guzman

21 -- Josh Morgan

22 -- Marcos Diplan (since traded)

23 -- Ti'Quan Forbes

24 -- Lisalverto Bonilla

25 -- Phil Klein

26 -- Tomas Telis

27 -- Yeyson Yrizarri

28 -- Alex Claudio

29 -- Sam Wolff

30 -- Hanser Alberto

31 -- Yohander Mendez

32 -- Jose Leclerc

Knebel and Diplan ended up getting dealt after they were ranked, so we ended up with a top 30.  I suspect that list will look much different this offseason, what with the nine of these guys having been dealt, and the various influx of draft picks and international free agents.

So be thinking about your rankings, and be prepared to start voting next week...
