Once again, we are presenting prospect lists specifically geared toward fantasy baseball with no consideration of "peak" or "long-term potential" other than what a player will contribute in standard 4x4, 5x5, and simulation leagues.

We ranked players in four lists for this article. The Top 150 Prospects List is meant for Ultra drafts, the top 42 prospects are intended exclusively for owners in extremely deep leagues who desire the best prospect trade bait, and our Top 25 Prospects of 2007-08 List is meant for traditional roto leagues with three-round minor league drafts. The final list of 24 prospects focuses on simulation leagues and is based upon a prospect's likelihood of contributing as an everyday player, weighted toward key defensive positions, as well as any pitchers prepared to emerge as viable starters or key relievers within the next two years.

I projected four values for each prospect listed below: his likely value in 2007, his 2007 upside, his likely 2008 value, and his likely long-term upside considering his tools, skills, and age. After averaging these values, weighting them heavily toward potential 2007 considerations, and downwardly adjusting the relative value of pitchers due to the greater volatility in projecting pitcher development, we arrived at a rough ranking of the prospects in each league.

A few players on the first list will be minor league veterans who only need a chance to succeed in the majors. I identified these players with an asterisk for those of you only interested in drafting more traditional prospects.

Rule 5 draftees have a ^ next to their names; their placement on the list assumes they remain with their new teams. Ignore those returned to their former franchises as they have practically no chance of contributing with their old teams.

Before beginning, we want to note our appreciation for all the resources available to everyone interested in minor leaguers, especially those from established analysts like John Sickels and Deric McKamey as well as everyone at both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus. We hope you enjoy these two days of prospects.

Note: We employed MLB rookie guidelines, so no one here has exceeded 130 MLB AB
or 50 MLB IP, or has accumulated 45 days on an MLB roster prior to September 1st
of any season.

* - denotes players not on a 40-man roster nor considered traditional prospects due to age

^ - denotes players selected in the 2006 Major League Rule 5 draft

24. Jeff Niemann, SP, TB

Top 2007 AL Rookie Sleeper: Alexi Casilla, SS/2B, MIN. Given the Twins' limited infield depth, Casilla stands just one Luis Castillo strained hamstring from carrying his impressive speed skills into Minnesota's starting lineup.

Today's Fantasy Rx: Prospects prepared to climb toward the top of the list for 2008 include Boston's Jacoby Ellsbury, Cleveland's Brian Barton, Kansas City's Billy Butler, Los Angeles's Sean Rodriguez, Minnesota's Alexi Casilla, Oakland's Travis Buck, Seattle's Jeff Clement, and Tampa's Evan Longoria.

If you are looking for one prospect prepared to convert monster tools into impressive stats, look to the Rangers' John Mayberry, who could post plenty of extra-base hits when he takes his prodigious power potential into the Cal League this summer.
