This week has seen both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus release their Top 100 prospect lists (or 101 in the case of Baseball Prospectus). For the Cincinnati Reds they only had three players listed between the two lists. Jose Garcia and Austin Hendrick were both in the Top 100 list at Baseball America, with Garcia rating 79th and Hendrick 97th. On the Baseball Prospectus list the only Red that made the list was Nick Lodolo, who was rated as their 57th prospect. That’s it.
On the one hand, that’s not exactly a good showing. In fact, it’s a bad showing.
