So many are now relying on some sort of paid prescription to get a peak at their top 100 list as if it is going to uncover some diamond in the rough prospect that no one has ever considered. In this day and age, if a prospect is worthy enough to make someone's top 100, most baseball fans are familiar with him. The formulae is that the top prospect gets a vote of a 10, the second best prospect gets a 9.9 down to number 100 who gets a 0.1. The numbers are then tabulated and divided by four to get an overall rating. These ratings will be used to come out with the Top 100 as well as measure the major league teams that have the best prospects. Below is the first list, the top 40 foreign prospects in the major leagues (The list ran out after 35 so myworld selected the last five) . ＊ 田澤純一 29. Junichi Tazawa RHP (Red Sox) Japan .625 - Normally, Japanese "prospects" are over 30 and have played nine years or more in the Japanese professional league. Junichi is the one true prospect that is only 22 and the Red Sox signed him to a 3-year contract with a $1.8 million bonus. He's not a big guy so he must show good command of his low 90s fastball and splitter to have success in the major leagues. He seems to be doing that in spring training and providing temptation for the win now Red Sox to carry him on their roster in the bullpen. ＊ 川上憲伸 30. Kenshin Kawakami RHP (Braves) Japan .55 - Not really a prospect since he has played a number of years with the Japanese professional league. But he's eligible to win the rookie of the year award so he qualifies on this prospect list if someone boted for him. ＊ 上原浩治 34. Koji Uehara RHP (Orioles) Japan .125 - He's in the same boat as Kawakami, to old to be considered a prospect, but eligible for rookie of the year honors. Dominican Republic - 14 Venezuela -14 Canada - 4 Japan - 3 Cuba - 2 Puerto Rico - 2 Netherlands -1 http://myworldofbaseball.com/wordpress/?p=1169 --
