Jordan Lyles was named the 31st overall top prospect for 2011 in MLB's annual Top 50 list. He's the only Astro on the list. How did the NL Central compare?
Well, here's the number of prospects, by team:
Reds: 3 (Aroldis Chapman - #6; Devin Mesoraco - #45; Yonder Alonso - #49)
Cubs: 1 (Brett Jackson - #46)
Cardinals: 1 (Shelby Miller - #20)
Pirates: 1 (Taillon - #18)
Brewers: 0
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
