When you think about how many prospects who were considered to be among the best in baseball currently litter major league rosters, it'd be easy to believe that the minor leagues have taken a major hit, that there's not another wave of premier talent working its way through the system.
In some regard, you may be right. The 2015 season will long be remembered as the "Season of the Prospect," one that saw some of the best talent baseball has to offer make major league debuts.
But there's another crop of big-time talent developing down on the farm—some closer to the big leagues than others—and with MLB rosters set to expand on September 1, we could find ourselves adding even more names to the list of players who made their big league debuts in 2015.
While players such as Chicago's Kyle Schwarber, Minnesota's Byron Buxton and Washington's Trea Turner currently reside on MLB.com's list of baseball's top prospects (as they still retain prospect status), they're in the big leagues now, making them ineligible for our list.
So we'll turn to the next eligible player(s) on that list as we take a look at which of baseball's 10 best prospects have seen their stock rise—or fall—with the end of the minor league season and MLB roster expansion nearly here.
