One of the guys at RotoJunkie who closely follows the minor leagues has put out his 2010 Top 150 prospect list and I believe it’s one of the first to market. Yes, it does have a bit of a roto-tilt to the list but the Rays are still very well represented.
Thoughts?

My name is Jake Edinger and I attend Ramapo College in New Jersey. Now why
would some one from New Jersey write for a Florida baseball team's blog? and
how can we trust him? Well first of all I have a great respect for the Tampa Bay
Rays ability to harvest young talent and I have been a consistent fan. Second of
all I can assure you that myself and Jason Collette have great baseball
knowledge and will provide our readers with great information regarding the
Rays, baseball, and anything else. You can read some of my draftkits for the
fantasy sports website Hotbox.com (I wrote all of the Milwaukee Brewers). I look
forward to writing for this blog and providing fans with insight into the Tampa
Bay Rays. Please feel free to contact and follow me on facebook (Jake Edinger),

Brignac ahead of Hellickson? This list sounds like it is heavily influenced by lists from past seasons. Brignac will be 24 next season and hasn’t yet shown that he will be anything other than a backup middle infielder on a good team. Hellickson on the other hand is no longer the too skinny, too short-for-a-righty, not fast enough-fastball. But for Hellboy to do what he did in AA and AAA for a 22 year old and he should be much higher.
I guess the way I think about it. Would I trade Matt Moore for Hellickson? Yep. Would I trade Brignac for Hellickson? IN. A. HEARTBEAT.

Yep – that’s where I sat too. Brignac and Hellickson should be flipped. I think Brignac is still a starter as a major leaguer, just not the 9A type prospect people thought he was going to be.
