Ranking the Texas Rangers' Top 10 Prospects After the 2013 Minor League Season | Bleacher Report

This was where I found it not BA, thought it was a bit odd but then I didn't read the whole story before I posted it. The one you posted is the real top 20 from BA I'm thinking

Wasn't BA's ranking either ... it is the MLB ranking. Will be interesting to see what BA says. Here's what they said at the beginning of 2013.

Just for grins went back and looked at the 2006 June draft which is when TEX drafted Gentry to see who else TEX drafted ... Gentry was 10th round pick. Here are the other nine ahead of him and other notables:

I think it was just mis-titled, it was probably going for best minor league seasons out of the Rangers system

Not mistitled ... the #1 - #20 listing that shows Choice #3 is the current TEX MLB prospect ranking.

This is the link he posted, I posted the one from MLB to show that Nicholas wasn't #1

Who would have thought that Danny Herrera would make it to the big leagues. Actually hung on with CIN couple of seasons. Watched him pitching for Frisco. Craziest thing to watch a LHP throwing a screwball. Tied guys in knots.
