FanGraphs ranks four Mariners in Top-100 prospects

Related Topics: Seattle Mariners

FanGraphs has released their Top-100 prospects list - a bit of a misnomer considering they list out to 120 players - and included four Mariners players within its ranks. FanGraphs also includes their overall prospect quality metric, called Future Value (FV), which comes on the traditional 20-to-80 scouting scale. 50 is generally “league average”, with 40 equating to a bench player/middle reliever or near-replacement level and 60 equating to All-Star caliber. Things thin as they get closer to the top - players 46-120 are given 50 FV, while numbers 22-45 are 55 FV, and just 5-21 are 60 FV.
