This week we continue our annual review of the top prospects in baseball by position, this time with top 3B prospects. On the surface, there doesn't appear to be any prospect assured of significant playing time in 2012. There aren't many openings at present, though a few prospects could take advantage of minor injuries or the lack of depth. The lack of major league-ready 3B shouldn't be any indication, however, of the quality of prospects at that position.

This week we continue our annual review of the top prospects in baseball by position, focusing on second base. For the past two weeks we have been lamenting the lack of positional depth at C and 1B, and that theme continues this week as 2B is historically the thinnest position in the minors.

This week we continue our annual review of the top prospects in baseball by position. Similar to the catching crop outlined last week, the 1B position is very thin. Only four 1B appear in our Top 100 list and only one player figures to win a starting job in Spring Training.

This week we kickoff our annual review of the top prospects in baseball by position. We start with the most demanding position on the diamond, the catcher. This year's crop of top catching prospects remains both thin and relatively unchanged from 2011.
