I’m proud of the Marlins minor league coverage at Fish Stripes, but we don’t have all the answers. Daniel De Vivo (@DanielDeVivo) doesn’t either, but his top prospects list is as thorough as anything out there. The original document has stats and notes for every player in his Top 100. I brought some of his notes here and blended them together with minor league highlights from the 2018 season. Enjoy, and tell us what the top of your personal rankings would look like. —Ely Sussman, Managing Editor
