We’re using a new format for our 2022 midseason Top 50 prospects lists. There are five updated Top 50s dropping at once, and these columns will be released by division. Our sixth and final column features new midseason ranks from all of the AL West farm systems:
Houston Astros – by Greg Bracken (@gregbracken07)
Los Angeles Angels – by Andrew Rhodes (@A_Rhodes77)
Oakland Athletics – by Jeremy Mahy (@JMahyfam)
Seattle Mariners – by Daniel Gentile (@DGentleman9288)
Texas Rangers – by Byron Cox (@byrontx)
For each rank, you’ll see Player Name, Position, Age, Current Level (Preseason rank).
Players are prospect eligible and can be ranked if they have less than 130 AB or less than 50 IP in the majors (as of our cutoff date July 9th). We use these limits as most dynasty leagues have the same thresholds for prospects and minor league status.
We still have each Top 50 list ranked in our Prospects1500 Tiers:
Tier 1: Players with high expectations of both making the majors and playing at an All-Star level for a number of years
Tier 2: Players with an above-average expectation of making the majors and being a solid contributor
Tier 3: Players with an average expectation of making the majors and being a solid contributor
Tier 4: Players who have the potential of making the majors, or have a high likelihood of making the majors, but provide minimal impact (e.g. middle reliever, low-ceiling UT guys)
Tier 5: Players of interest, worth keeping an eye on, who have an outside chance of making a team’s 40-man roster.
Here are Prospects1500’s midseason Top 50 Prospects for the Astros, Angels, Athletics, Mariners and Rangers organizations.
