I'm going to step out on a limb yet again and go against the grain. You won't find Matt Moore atop my list of Tampa Bay's top prospects
Without looking at Baseball America's top 10 (due out today), here is my list Tampa Bay's top 30 prospects ... not named Matt Moore.
I fully admit that my list is skewed toward the higher-level players because those are the ones I've seen. I also didn't feel educated enough (blame football) to include any of the 2011 draftees, except for Mikie Mahtook and Cameron Seitzer.
That made things tough because, to me, a lot of depth in the organization is now in the lower levels. The first 10 went easily before it got tough.
(To reminisce at my idiocy a year ago, click here. And here's 2009 and 2008.)
