A couple of days ago, I examined how the players listed on Kiley McDaniel’s top 200 list graded out according to KATOH — my prospect projection system. Well, not exactly. I actually examined how his top 142 prospects — those that he ranked — graded out according to KATOH. I left off the 58 honorable mentions who just missed the cut for receiving a full writeup. Each of these guys received a 45+ FV rating from McDaniel, which means their most likely to peak as weak everyday players or back-end starters. Think Charlie Blackmon or Mike Leake. While none of the names listed below are likely to be stars, or even average regulars, all of them are pretty good bets to make at least some sort of big league impact.

These 45+ prospects receive an average projection of around 3.5WAR, which is about a half-win higher than the prospects who ranked in the back half of Kiley’s top 142. However, this group’s average is helped substantially by Alex Verdugo and Gleyber Torres, who both receive projections north of 10. While this sounds impressive, keep in mind that Verdugo’s and Torres’ projections stem from ~200 rookie ball plate appearances, and should therefore be taken with several grains of salt. KATOH comes in very high on guys like Verdugo, Torres, and a few others, but on the aggregate, it pegs prospects 143-200 to be nothing more than a bunch of role players.

So here’s the list. Projections that were calculated using fewer than 200 plate appearances or batters faced are marked with an asterisk (*). The players who did not play in 2014  are at the bottom of the list, and were denoted with “N/A”.
