Escuela Tops Prospect List

Carlos Escuela, San Fran's power-hitting infield prospect taken 7th in last year's draft, tops the inaugural Joey Belle Top 100 Prospects List.

Escuela has a slight edge on fellow shortstops (although all will probably move to other positions in the majors) Clarence Marte of Chicago and Bailey Johnson of Sioux Falls.

Austin (11), Washington D.C. (9), Las Vegas (8) and Scranton (8) have the most players on the list; no other team has more than 4. Four teams are without a Top 100 prospect this year.
