↵Which is sort of a round about way of saying that I was having an argument with a friend about the merits of the Baltimore Orioles top prospects all being flops and found that The Baseball Cube now keeps a handy list of all Baseball America’s Top 10 Prospects Lists back through 1992 for each team.
