With Spring Training now officially under way, and rampant speculation firmly in place, I thought that it might be interesting to track the performances of Baseball America’s Top 100 Prospects.  Some of these players have the potential to crack the opening day roster; some are years away.  Regardless, they are the faces of the future and ridiculously fun to follow.
