I like this list, it seems pretty solid.

Lin and Almanzar are very different type of prospects. The hardest tool for a scout to find in a prospect is power, projected power and Almanzar has plus plus projected power, with plus bat speed, good athletic ability and hands specially for someone of his size and a strong arm. Lin has outstanding speed, a very good arm, with very good range in the outfield, a true center fielder, while he has good bat speed and pop its the key for him as a prospect.
