MLB Dirt

Mikey Schwartze has already revealed his top 100 prospects to the world so it is now time for me to reveal mine. I could have stopped at 100 but figured I would push it to 150. Then I decided 175. Finally, after ranking 16 prospects per team, I figured doing a top 200 list would be a lot of fun.
