Welcome to the Roadwire Prospect podcast. I'm your host, James Anderson, and today's episode

is going to be the top 400 prospect rankings, kind of recap mailbag episode. Those rankings,

of course, went live, or Thursday of of last week and uh that was that was a lot

of work but it was also a ton of fun to kind of get that first update of the season out there

a podcast brought to you by rival fantasy of course as it always is uh i did want to say, you know, I kind of want to apologize to anyone who

was trying to get some questions in, sort of in the last week plus asking for kind of sneak

peek, like where is this guy going to rank? Is this guy going to be ahead of this guy on the

update, that type of thing? Just in general, like those aren't really going to be ahead of this guy on the update, that type of thing?

Just in general, like those aren't really going to get answered.

It doesn't really help me to take time away from working on the rankings to answer those types of questions.

And it might not even help you if I were to answer them because it's just I still haven't kind of figured out the answer to some of those questions. So patience, patients in the future. But if anything kind of

super easy, like yes or no question, I will try to answer. But apologies to the people that

ask questions like that and the days leading up to the update. But's get right into it first question this month from jordan for giants do you use other rankings to help

you lay your groundwork and or compare your work and if so what other rankings do you look at

and respect the most i i don't look at other fantasy prospect rankings.

I've never done that.

There's a lot of people that are doing great work out there.

But I can't really speak to which other rankings are the best.

There's just a lot of great people in this space right now.

You know, I do a lot of research, obviously, for the updates.

And I use trusted sources, public sources like Baseball America and fan graphs are incredibly important to my to my rankings

because that's where i can find stuff that doesn't show up uh in the stats or the video
