There are three or four different rankings.
I tried to read Baseball America but that one too needed a subscription.
I did see one from MLB and it had Volpe further down like 14 or 16 and then Domineguez a few spots behind him. It had Peraza mid 30' I think and Gil was at the end, his rank might have matched his uniform number.
Everson Pereira wasn't on that list but I know he has been on others. He seems to be a very "toolies" guy. Waldichuk too got a lot of attention last year.
Over the years I've tempered my expectations of prospects, I need to see them do it at AA and AAA before I start to get excited.
Too many guys have teased down at A level in the past 15 years since minor league stats have become more readily available on the internet.
Banueles, Mato, Montero, Florial..... I'm sure you guys could add more, that's just off the top of my head.
I know some of you complain they hold onto prospects too long but honestly they have also traded quite a few and none in this decade have come back to huant them. Yet.

Just saw Pete King posting about Matt Harvey's drug addiction. Should've guessed that was the problem. Lateness issues remind me of Gooden missing the Mets parade down the Canyon of Heroes. Surprised it was coke and not pain killers after the Tommy John surgery. Another Mets ace lost to drugs. So sad. Guess it's time for the Yankees to sign him.

Skaggs is the one who died of a fentenyal over dose and the trainer who supplied it is on trial.
To a NY Post reporter. Who more appropriate to air this kind of information to?

Harvey was so despondent at times that he openly talked about killing himself, according to a source. Collins acknowledged Monday that Harvey’s behavior was erratic enough to warrant counseling with the Mets’ mental skills coach.
“Certainly, that was addressed,” Collins said. “Again, it’s Matt, and one time he talked about, ‘I should just kill myself.’ That’s kind of a common excuse. You try to deal with it the best you can. We certainly tried to get him help, get him some assistance.”
The Post reporter doesn't appear to have made an effort to contact Harvey about the validity of these claims but at least the editor threw in some contact information at the end of the article for those suffering from suicidal thoughts. You know, because the Post is classy.
