Soto and Vitters Among BP's Top 100 Prospects

Baseball Prospectus's minor league guru Kevin Goldstein has posted his top 100 prospects in baseball. Just two Cubs show up on the list, one of whom made an impact on the 2007 big league club and the other the Cubs' #1 draft pick in 2007:

37. Geovany Soto
45. Josh Vitters

Goldstein's top two Cubs matches John Sickels'.

(I assume that Felix Pie no longer qualifies as a prospect.)

ZiPS projects Soto to hit a robust .284/.342/.483 in 2008.

More information about the players from BP will be available in Baseball Prospectus 2008.

Basketball Prospectus to launch in October

Nate Silver informs us that the insightful folks at Baseball Prospectus are going to be launching BasketballProspectus.com in October, with at least Ken Pomeroy and John Gasaway (of Big Ten Wonk) as writers. That's excellent news for College Basketball fans.
