Last year around this time, I put together a MLB Composite Prospect List, which combined the various Top 100 Prospect Lists from around the web into one composite list, based on points assigned to each ranking.
This year, I have decided to split off this project from the Billy Goat Blog, as it is more general baseball than Cubs related (the Cubs don't have a lot of Top 100 prospects).
As a result, I have put together a new website, the MLB Composite Prospect Index. On there you will find the 2012 MLB Composite Prospect List, as well as similar lists going back to 2008.
I hope you find this new site a good resource for your fantasy prep.
