Also, don't know if it was previous released but MLB Pipe has us down to 19th best farm system ... sucks

Here are the Guardians' 2024 Top 30 prospects

After setting a record for an American or National League division or league champion by having 17 rookies make their big league debuts in 2022, the Guardians kept the talent flowing last year. Top 100 prospects Gavin Williams, Bo Naylor and Tanner Bibee graduated to Cleveland, as did Logan Allen,

After setting a record for an American or National League division or league champion by having 17 rookies make their big league debuts in 2022, the Guardians kept the talent flowing last year. Top 100 prospects Gavin Williams, Bo Naylor and Tanner Bibee graduated to Cleveland, as did Logan Allen, Gabriel Arias and Will Brennan, though the team's 76-86 record was its worst in 11 seasons.

The Guardians could have two rookies and Top 100 prospects -- first baseman Kyle Manzardo and shortstop Brayan Rocchio -- win starting jobs in their infield this spring. Manzardo should bring some much-needed power to a club that finished a distant last in the Majors with 124 homers a year ago. So will the system's most talented player (outfielder Chase DeLauter) once he's big league-ready in the near future and its 2023 first-round pick (catcher/first baseman Ralphy Velazquez), who's at least a couple of years away.

While Cleveland has made a habit of helping polished pitchers improve their stuff, its two best mound prospects have overwhelming arsenals. Right-hander Daniel Espino's fastball/slider combination ranks with anyone's in the Minors, though he has pitched just 18 1/3 innings in the last two years because of knee and shoulder issues. Left-hander Alex Clemmey, a second-rounder last July, already hits 99 mph and has a power curveball.

walters is no slouch, himself..

The rating reflects the graduation rate (as you've stated) and the amount of information being shared with these rating services and opinion or data gathering organizations.. If you don't share.. your ratings plummet..

Sad about Campbell.. he has all the characteristics of a front of the rotation SP...

Yeah that does suck. Hope he fully recovers and gets on track quickly.

Did a double take on this kid when perusing the guardian perspective twitter page. This kid has got an impressive swing for a 16 year old…

Anyone have word on Espino’s throwing progress? No setbacks so far, right?

Skenes blew away the O's prospects.. made em look pedestrian..

So much for that....

So much for that....

That's why you look for official comment.. as opposed to "... not an official proclamation.. fwiw.."...

..wouldn't you agree??

I think that's a pretty damn good list. There are a few discrepencies for me, but overall one of the better ones I've seen.

Looks like our pitchers had a good day vs Cincinnati. 13ks in 7 innings - Walter with 3 in 1 inning. Keep an eye on Webb…
