Not too much deviation from previous lists, honestly. To just address a few points:

I put Vettleson ahead of Sale just because Vettleson's track record is that much longer than Sale's. Sale has the higher ceiling but that's based in large part upon his power, and I'm not totally convinced he can translate enough of his raw power into usable, consistent in-game power. I still like Sale, in part because I feel power is slightly undervalued, I just have Vettleson a hair higher. Along those lines, I'm higher on Glaesmann than most because of the power. He doesn't have the track record and his K/BB leaves something to be desired, but a RF who can defend, throw, and hit for power carries value even if his OBP isn't where you'd like to see.

Mahtook and Brett get dinged slightly because both of their ceilings as hitters don't match the guys above. Felipe Rivero is downgraded a little bit because I don't know if a 6-0/151 (listed) pitcher can hold up in the long run. Alex Torres still has good stuff and his winter league performance gives me some hope he can throw strikes at a passable rate. He, Beckham, and Guyer obviously get points for being right on the cusp of the majors even if you don't see either as an everyday guy. Any other questions I'm happy to answer in the comments, even about how attractive I am. Especially about how attractive I am.
