OR...you could look at it this way - they consistently have 3 players in the top 50 on most lists - which is good, if not great. The back 50 seem a bit more volatile on most lists. Kower slips into that zone on some lists. Pena would be the other likely top 100 player on several lists if he had more of a body of work in the minors. I could see guys like Isbel taking the Whitt Merrifield route...never on anyone's list, but just performs better than many former top 100 prospects once he's actually in the majors.
