BA Early Draft Rankings

Baseball America posted an early set of draft rankings last month. I just saw it today, so I figured I’d pass it along. If you’ve already seen it, stop reading.

Anyway, the college top 25 features 15 Cape Leaguers, including ’09 stars Chris Sale, Zack Cox and Todd Cunningham. I added stars next to those 15. I’ll also note that, to my recollection, five more players were on Cape League rosters but went to Team USA or took a summer off.
