62 - Stephen Piscotty
64 - Marco Gonzales
77 - Alex Reyes
87 - Rob Kaminsky

All are a lot higher than I thought they would be.
Yeah, for the first time in my memory Cards fans are actually under-rating their own prospects.

No worries about that phins, your rep with prospects here is well known.

They also have Raisel Iglesias. I mean the systems seem really similar to me.
He has them 17. He said they could be a top 10 system but there's way too much risk associated with their top prospects
Apparently, Law didn't include Raisel Iglesias in the Reds' rankings. Considering BA put Iglesias around the top 50, it seems pretty likely to have dragged their system down in his rankings.

Baseball America has Stephenson as the Reds' top prospect, followed by right-hander Raisel Iglesias. Iglesias, as a free agent from Cuba, was not eligible for Law's list, based upon the guidelines he set for himself.

Did he just forget the guy or something?

Law went away on his own several times this year (which personally I like). It's good to have convictions and be able to justify them, unlike the Vaughn Bryan thing last year.

Doesn't sound like it.

Law doesn't include Cuban Free Agents because he considers their time playing in the Cuban big-boy league to be professional enough experience to separate them, experience-wise, from the pack. He also doesn't include Asian free agent signings as prospects.
