Nice graphic overall. Very interesting.
Main question: Why is Simon Castro on the chart? Didn’t we trade him for some magic beans?

We’ll have to see if that nickname will stick.

I’d forgotten who it was.
That being said, I second that nomination!

I think I got him from an old Baseball Prospectus list, pre-trade with White Sox. You’re right. Sorry about that.
that our biggest hole (as it has been for years now) is shortstop. But I guess if you’re loaded everywhere else with prospects, you can trade for or sign one.

Put it on the wiki

I tried to focus on top 20-ish prospects

David Fung - February 9, 2012
Yes, but Simon Castro is no longer with the Padres
Aussie fan - February 9, 2012
My bad.

This just clarifies

problem is that SS is scarce right now in MLB and MiLB
just not a lot of talent at that position right now.
