I'd love your take on my org's top 10.
So much depends on when the kids come in, and whether the old players are continuing into their 40s. It also depends on pitching, which is astoundingly bloated right now. And it depends on what the import of v25 does...enough said about that for now, though. If the pitchers are as strong as right now, then, for example Eisa is almost not a prospect due to that "5" contact. He's effectively Run-ming Gui without the power, and to be direct, even with the power Gui is just a decent filler on a good team. If the "5" plays, then he's a workable guy--especially since he can play better than passably at second. (note that Gui is having essentially his best rate year ever because I can finally platoon him).
I like Spurlock well enough, but there are a lot of those guys around. He's a good work ethic guy. Maybe he'll bump.
I'm not sure why Ajwad Duqac wasn't on the list. Maybe it's cause he's got a long way to go, but he's looking like one of the more pure hitters in the lower part of the organization.

Bottom line, I'd agree in general, you've graduated a huge wave of impact kids, so what's left behind isn't as breathtaking.
But, yeah. It would not be surprising to me to see Modica on the short list for Egan awards soon. I loved him when I grabbed him in Sacramento.
