The grand daddy of all prospect lists landed today, and Baseball America has kudos for two members of the Phillies' system. Lefty starter Jesse Biddle checks in at No. 89, while shortstop Roman Quinn sneaks onto the list at No. 100.
ESPN's Top 100 prospect list had Biddle and fellow lefty Adam Morgan on it, while MLB.com included Biddle and righthander Ethan Martin.
As for former Phillies, catcher Travis D'Arnaud (Mets by way of Blue Jays) is No. 23, while first baseman Jonathan Singleton (Astros) is No. 27.

Along with the prospects that we traded, check out #79. Seattle picked him in our slot for compensation for Raul Ibanez.— tripleplay83- Hey Delmon Young was #1 in 2006, Dom Brown #4 in 2011. Heck, even Joe Savery was once a top 100. Carlos Carrasco was a perpetual top organizational prospect. D'Arnaud and Singleton are gone and not coming back; deal with it.— mike
- mike, that has to be one of the most lucid and intelligent comments ever posted on this site— bitlrc
- Lefty Adam Morgan looked like a Top 100 in his live BP pitching this morning on Carlton Field. No one touches his mid 90's fastball when its on a corner of the plate at the knees.— Dull
- Where is the latest trade piece Joseph? That's right can't be found. It is like a given when the GM brings back minor leaguers through trade.
Trade a strength. Get back a project. GM must go!— wmontanez27 - I would hazard a guess that more than a few of the top players in baseball today were not "Top 100" prospects. I would also hazard a guess that many "Top 100" prospects don't pan out, for one reason or another. Take it for what it is - a list. A guide. It's not a definitive statement. Anyone who puts full stock in it is foolish.— Dave14
- Jared Cosart, Travis D'Arnaud, Jonathan Singleton, Jonathan Vilar, Anthony Gose, are all going to be stars. What could have been.— carlosbeltran
- How many top 100s did, say, Kyle Kendrick ever make? Or Darin Ruf? Or Ben Revere? Or Mike Adams? Or Larry Bowa? Or Darren Daulton? And so it goes.
Making the top 100 list is like doing well at the NFL combine. Some combine studs (RG III) go onto prove they're for real. Many never do.

Washington has 3. Atlanta has 2. San Fran has 1. Are they bad organizations? Is their minor league system depleted and woeful?
Who cares about this list ?— zubzub- Other teams care about this list. Having only 2 prospects in the last 10 spots makes trading for "proven" stars virtually impossible. Only alternative is buying free agents and based on this last offseason, Phillies can't do that anymore either.— tjda4202
- If you think other teams look at this list to determine which players are attractive as trade chips, I don't know what to say about your lack of baseball knowledge. Here's a primer: when a team is looking to deal someone, they send people called "scouts" to look at potential players they would like in return from particular teams. More often than not, players not on this "list" are involved in trades, and bring good returns. Just because someone is not on a "list" compiled by a bunch of baseball writers doesn't mean that team doesn't have any trade-worthy prospects.— Dave14
- Prospects on those lists obviously have more trade value, however, like I said before, 70% of BA top prospects fail, according to a report I read.— EL Zorro
