We now close out the 2016 prospect season with a revised Top 100 Prospects list. Players who exceeded rookie qualifications are not included. The list does include 2016 draftees.



It is always a work in progress and general tiers are more important than exact placement the further down the list you go.



This represents my personal opinion as of September 24, 2016. It does not incorporate the opinions of others to any great extent. It is also a snapshot in time: a week ago this list would have looked a bit different and it will certainly change as the winter progresses and we get into deeper analysis on individual players.



I will be around in the comments to answer questions.
