Four Royals Make Baseball America's Top 100 List
I guess the big news out of this is the decline of Moose and Hoz's ranks.
#39- Montgomery
#40- Crow
#80- Moose
#100- Arguelles
Last season Hosmer came in at #24, Moose at #13. (2009 was just an awesome year for everything!) I believe this is Montgomery's first appearance on the list, though I could be wrong.

Where's Buster Posey?
Joke aside, the great thing about these rankings is that there will be another one next year, so if Moustakas and Hosmer have good seasons, they will move back up(although given the position switch, and maybe another to the outfield down the road, Moustakas may never get as high as he was previously).
Moustakas may never get as high as he was previously
Not sure I’d feel safe saying the same about Dan Cortes

Yeah
I expect Hosmer and Moose to bounce back this year and move up next year. Another guy who could make a move this year (imo) is Arguelles… maybe 20 or 30 spot jump or so
Melville is another candidate to jump into the top 100 with a strong year
And we’re pretty much guaranteed to have our first round pick in June’s draft show up in next year’s top 100 list.

From BA's John Manuel in the comments section:
For some of the comments so far—For me, Moustakas is a bit more of a known quantity than Myers, and Myers’ position future is still up in the air. Myers has a higher ceiling, I think that’s fair to say, but we try to balance ceiling with likelihood of reaching that ceiling.
Post in the works

Does that mean that Yuni
is at least the 90th best minor leaguer right now?

I think Yuni would be a GREAT minor leaguer
Hope he gets the opportunity.

Why can't Baseball America just trust the process.
Pitchers and Catchers report February 17th... And so begins my masochistic addiction.
we should have more than 4
with the way we’ve been spending…next year’s list may have a few more names on it like hosmer, melville, myers, and whoever we draft next in the first round..

I Should Start
Using my real name; I’d probably show up on Googles for Will Blythe, and RR would attract thousands of hits.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
