This is the third year where this top prospect list of mine has been done with a tiered approach, rather than an ordered list. It's my opinion that a tiered list is more valuable than trying to guess which older reliever is better than the others and should rank higher, only for the best one to make a very minimal contribution in the majors.
This year the biggest change is making a strict requirement for entry to the second group, the young guys with a pedigree. To qualify for this level, a player needs to either be a top-100 overall pick or receive a $500,000 bonus for international free agents (IFA.) In some cases, this will override the age component but that's rare.
