Now that my top 50 is completed, I’d like to answer any questions you have on players on or off the list for a Free For All subscribers Top 50 Mailbag edition. This will be the first of what I hope to make a monthly feature for all free and paid subscribers. So submit your questions, tell me where I went wrong on my Top 50, or ask me anything you’re wondering about the Giants’ farm system, and I’ll try to answer the best I can in the coming days.

Two questions:
1) If you could have one of the top 50 prospects hit his ceiling, who would you pick?
2) Which 5 prospects, of the top 50, will you be following closest, in terms of progress? Alternately, 2 in the top 10 and 2 in the bottom 40. Why?
Thanks for all of the work you do, it is tremendously fun to follow and read!
I emailed this to you but to be sure:
What pitchers in the system have a better than 50/50 chance to be Starters?
Roupp? Lonsway? Black? Silva?
