2012 Fantasy Baseball: Rookies & Prospects – Top 100

Sp, Trevor Bauer, Yoenis Cespedes

With rookies and prospects always receiving a great deal of attention and hype in fantasy baseball leagues, any fantasy baseball manager who wants to win their league, needs to be clued in to the rookies and prospects who are poised to make an impact in the MLB during the 2012 season.

This rookie and prospect list is tailored to rank the rookies and prospects who could potentially provide the greatest impact in fantasy baseball leagues during the 2012 season. For example, while Bryce Harper could be ranked as the #1 overall minor league prospect, he is not ranked as the #1 fantasy baseball rookie prospect in this list, because the probability of him making the greatest fantasy baseball impact during the 2012 season is not as likely when compared to other rookies and prospects who have a greater possibility of receiving playing time in 2012.
