The Padres added a top prospect to the system via last week’s Brad Hand trade — No. 21 to be exact, according to catcher Francisco Mejia’s standing in MLB.com’s mid-season re-ranking of its top prospects.

The collection of lists — which includes eight Padres in the top 100, tied with the Braves for the most — contains few surprises.

Fernando Tatis is up from No. 3 to No. 2 in the top-100, right-hander Chris Paddack is the biggest mover (from No. 95 to 50) and Cal Quantrill and Anderson Espinoza are off the list altogether.

Again, not surprising.


Espinoza, the top prospect in the system entering 2017, is still on the comeback trail from last year’s Tommy John procedure, while Quantrill has struggled mightily of late in seeing his ERA balloon to 5.21 through 20 starts at Double-A San Antonio.

Meanwhile, the Padres’ 2018 draft class has arrived in the top-30 organizational rankings, headlined by left-hander Ryan Weathers — the No. 7 overall pick last month — at No. 9 in the Padres’ system.

The 18-year-old Weathers endured a rocky debut last night with four runs (one earned) allowed in one-third of an inning in the rookie-level Arizona League.

Fourth-round right-hander Dylan Coleman (Missouri State) debuts at No. 26 after posting a 1.54 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings split between short-season Tri-City and low Single-A Fort Wayne.


Solid starts at Tri-City from outfielder Grant Little (.671 OPS) and shortstop Owen Miller (.769 OPS) have those two ranked 27th and 30th, respectively.

Take a look at both updated lists below:
