Prospect List Update: 1/9

Sorry guys for not writing as much as I should be. I'm pressed for time lately, so the blurbs about the players will be much less. If you'd like to learn more about players, I suggest buying either a prospect book or going to other sites like Baseball America or Baseball Prospectus for more info. I hope that's ok with everyone. I've finished almost all the grading, so if people are fine with the quicker grades with much less info, then I can churn these out relatively quickly. Feel free to comment if you've got something to say about this.
