It's in the usual place. On FG main page, click "Prospects" tab, then "The Board" and it defaults to the top MLB prospects (for FG, it's anyone they've given a FV of 50 or higher). Click "200" on the drop down for the "Page Size" button to get the entire list, altho rt now clicking "100" will display them all.

I thought it merited a post about Yoshinobu Yamamoto, listed at (#43 on this version of the list but currently at (#13. He is coming to MLB next year and he threw a no-hitter in Japan yesterday. It is the 2nd no-hitter of his career and he is only the 10th pitcher to toss multiple no-nos in the Japan Leagues. Yankees' GM Brian Cashman and executives from other teams witnessed the feat in person. He also has a current 42-inn. scoreless streak. His ERA currently is 1.26, which at the end of the season would be the lowest in Japan since 1970. He is the 2-time reigning Sawamura award winner, which is the equivalent of our CY Young award and he is likely to win it again for the 3rd straight time this year. He possibly will get the largest FA contract of any pitcher next year, even tho he will not be a free agent and the team that signs him will have to pay a hefty posting fee.
