2015 Kansas City Royals Unified Top Prospect List
Posted: March 2, 2015 Filed under: Prospects, Rankings Leave a commentIt’s that time of year again–unified prospect list season! It seems that these lists come out later every year. I want to just get these finished and done with before the season starts, so those sources that have not completed their rankings yet (looking at you MLB dot com…) will not be included in this combined list.
I scrapped much of the additional coverage this year (like the graphical representation and prospects missing from the list from last year) due to time constraints.
As always, you can view a full spreadsheet for every site’s ranking for the team here, see the team list from 2014 here and view all other team lists for 2015 here.
