"I know you probably know this, but I’d like to reiterate that you shouldn’t think of this as “Chris Mitchell’s Top 100 List,” and certainly not “FanGraphs’ Top 100 List.” This is simply the output from a flawed statistical model that fails to take into account many of the factors that go into evaluating a prospect. As always, you should never choose between stats and scouting — or beer and tacos — if you don’t have to."

 

Not sure how this thing is calculated or how reliable it is, but we only have Montas at #88 and Adams at #93. Anderson not even in the Top 100.

here is what he said with regards to Anderson in the comments

 

He missed the cut mostly due to his high-ish K%. His low walk rate and mediocre power also didn’t help. I agree he feels like a top 100 prospect, but there are certainly reasons to be skeptical of him.

 

here is the primer for his system KATOH.

 

Looks like an awful list. I especially love Westbrook in as the 13th best OVERALL prospect in baseball, when Farnsworth ranked him the 14th best IN THE DIAMONDBACKS SYSTEM.

Of course it's an awful list. It wasn't supposed to be a good list. It was just to show what the stats say. It's supposed to make you think, then you move on. You're not supposed to make b****y comments about how bad it is because player X should be rated higher/lower.
