Wait, we already had one Dynasty Dugout article this week. Well, guess what? It's the good ol' two-for-one special this week, folks. That's right, two Dynasty Dugout articles for the price of one. Well, for the price of none since these are free articles. Who doesn't love more free stuff? After going over some top pitching prospects the other day, we switch gears and dive into some top hitting prospects and their early-season performances. Rankings are from my pre-season top-100. Hitting Prospects From My Top-20 #1…

Man, I just can't get enough prospects. Like I said last week, I'm, a prospectaholic. Feel free to join me for weekly meetings every Tuesday as I feed my addiction with this weekly Dynasty Dugout column. Last week, I ranked the top-10 dynasty prospects for every American League team.

As we get closer to the top of these rankings, I’m finding it harder and harder to limit how much I write about each prospect. Can you really blame me? These aren't your run-of-the-mill prospects in this article. No, sir. These are elite stud prospects with tantalizing upside that are about to explode all over the MLB landscape. As you'll see pretty quickly, the terms "ace-caliber" and "elite tools" enter the discussion plenty of times below. You won't find any power or speed-only players below, either. As we continue to…

The Cincinnati Reds finished 68-94 and in the cellar of the NL Central. Despite another MVP-caliber season from Joey Votto, the Reds lacked the talent to gain any real momentum. It's no secret that things have been pretty bad in Cincinnati for the past few seasons. That being said, the next crop of talent waiting in their system may be able to turn things around. 10.
