I promise I didn't steal New Orleans' idea. I have also been working on team prospect rankings myself and was waiting for the draft to finish before posting them.
I'm sure there are quite a few similarities between mine and New Orleans'. My rankings are based on: Baseball America, Baseball Prospectus, MLB.com, and FanGraphs.com. Like with the other rankings, I gave 100 points for #1 on their list, and 1 point for #100 on their list.
Where my rankings will differ is players outside the Top 100. In all reality, there isn't much of a difference between the #100 player on a list and the number #101 player who just missed out on making the list. So I thought it might be nice to expand on the lists a little bit. For example, Baseball America posted a list of 10 players who just missed out on making the list. I assigned each of them 0.75 points. They also posted a list of the next 100 or so players who received votes to be in the Top 100, but didn't make the list. I assigned each of them 0.5 points. I did this for all 4 lists (except MLB.com didn't have a list of those who just missed out).
Finally, many foreign players like Yoan Moncada, Hector Olivera, Raisel Iglesias, Andy Ibanez, Yasmany Tomas, Jung-Ho Kang, etc. weren't included in many of the top prospects lists. So I looked on Twitter and in the comments section of each of these lists and for all of them I found where each site would have ranked those players.
*In total, there were 253 prospects who received some amount of points in my system.
