NOTES FROM DOWN ON THE FARM...
- Baseball America's list of top 100 prospects for 2008 will not come out until March, but Evan Longoria will have a very good shot at being #1. [Tulare Advance-Register]
"I think they'll both [Evan Longoria and Justin Upton] be in the top five," Baseball America executive editor Jim Callis said. "When you talk about the best players [in the minor leagues], Upton, Longoria, [Detroit Tigers prospect] Cameron Maybin and [Cincinnati Reds prospect] Jay Bruce are going to be included, and you could make an argument to put those players in any order."
