While our updated list of the Top 25 rookies to target on Draft Day is about those who can impact Fantasy Baseball out of spring training, it could be someone from the Top 100 prospects that actually rises up to win the AL and NL Rookie of the Year awards.

The Top 100 prospects might not necessarily have made the team out of camp, but they will be some of the most-hyped minor leaguers throughout the season. They are ranked for their potential long-term rewards in Fantasy leagues.

There are 100's of other minor leaguers that can get call-ups and help Fantasy owners in the near future, too, so go through our Organizational Prospect Reports we did last fall and the top AL-only and NL-only prospects to get an even deeper view of the top farmhands.

CBSSports.com's Top 100 prospects
RK	Player	POS	TM	AGE	2009 high	2010 start
1	Jason Heyward	OF	ATL	20	Triple-A	Majors
We see now why everyone is going with Heyward at No. 1 and we're jumping on board with gusto.
2	Stephen Strasburg	SP	WAS	21	NCAA	Double-A
Without throwing an official pro pitch, the best pitching prospect ever has slipped to the No. 2 spot.
3	Michael Stanton	OF	FLA	20	Double-A	Double-A
It will be real interesting to watch which NL East RF prospect winds up with the most power in seven years.
4	Pedro Alvarez	3B	PIT	23	Double-A	Triple-A
Masher has some questions about his weight and position, but there's no question about the bat.
5	Neftali Feliz	SP	TEX	21	Majors	Majors
The Rangers have finally stuck gold on one of their own pitching prospects and haven't traded him, yet.
6	Buster Posey	C	SF	23	Majors	Triple-A
Joe Mauer, Matt Wieters and Posey figure to battle for the No. 1 Fantasy status in a few short years.
7	Desmond Jennings	OF	TB	23	Triple-A	Triple-A
As if the Rays needed any more premium guys, Jennings will soften Carl Crawford's eventual departure.
8	Brian Matusz	SP	BAL	23	Majors	Majors
He already reminds me of former Orioles ace Mike Mussina in his much, much younger years.
9	Madison Bumgarner	SP	SF	20	Majors	Majors
He gets far less pub, but he is just eight days older than the ballyhooed Braves outfielder Heyward.
10	Dustin Ackley	1B	SEA	22	NCAA	High Class A
We list him at his drafted position, but if he takes to second base, he is minors' class of that spot.
11	Carlos Santana	C	CLE	23	Double-A	Triple-A
Unlike the catcher ranked next on the list, we are certain he will be staying behind the plate long term.
12	Jesus Montero	C	NYY	20	Double-A	Triple-A
Jorge Posada's heir has been trying his hand at other positions, but this ranking banks on him catching.
13	Aroldis Chapman	SP	CIN	22	Defecting	High Class A
If he is as good as the hype suggests, the Reds have the making of some dominant rotation long term.
14	Jeremy Hellickson	SP	TB	22	Triple-A	Triple-A
In another organization, he would be a candidate for the rotation; he has to wait his turn with the Rays.
15	Justin Smoak	1B	TEX	23	Triple-A	Triple-A
His power bat isn't too far from the major leagues and Texas is a nice park to slug quickly to prominence.
16	Kyle Drabek	SP	TOR	22	Double-A	Triple-A
He has gotten his Tommy John elbow surgery out of the way early at least; better than his dad?
17	Alcides Escobar	SS	MIL	23	Majors	Majors
We would rank him higher if the power was a bit better. As it, this a pretty significant spot to be ranked.
18	Casey Kelly	SP	BOS	20	Low Class A	High Class A
We figure he can make an impact in the Red Sox bullpen later this season if they so choose.
19	Martin Perez	SP	TEX	18	Double-A	Double-A
Teenager really didn't star in Double-A but his age-level ratio is pretty off the charts at this point.
20	Wade Davis	SP	TB	24	Majors	Majors
You could pick some pitching prospects with higher ceilings, but he is a pretty good bet to succeed.
21	Chris C. Carter	1B	OAK	23	Triple-A	Triple-A
You have to love the power potential; heck, he has been traded for some big-name players.
22	Logan Morrison	1B	FLA	22	Double-A	Triple-A
We are not quite sure how much power will come, but we will trust the scouts and BP shows at this point.
23	Brett Wallace	1B	TOR	23	Triple-A	Triple-A
He has bounced around in the past year, but his bat should still play even at the deep first base position.
24	Lonnie Chisenhall	3B	CLE	21	Double-A	Double-A
It won't be difficult for him to push his way to the majors, if he can get off to a hot start through June 1.
25	Michael Taylor	OF	OAK	24	Triple-A	Triple-A
The A's added a potential Carlos Gonzalez-type outfield talent they traded away to get Matt Holliday.
26	Domonic Brown	OF	PHI	22	Double-A	Triple-A
With Raul Ibanez's age and injury history and Jayson Werth's pending free agency, Brown could arrive in '10.
27	Starlin Castro	SS	CHC	20	Double-A	Double-A
The Cubs are pushing him hard this spring, begging the question of whether he could actually arrive in '10.
28	Aaron Crow	SP	KC	23	DNP -- unsigned	Double-A
Sitting out a year set him back, but he could come on quickly with a healthy first half this season.
29	Michael Montgomery	SP	KC	20	High Class A	High Class A
Watching which Royals starter becomes the better major leaguer will be intriguing in a few quick years.
30	Christian Friedrich	SP	COL	22	High Class A	Double-A
He will be a real intriguing candidate for a June 1 call-up if the Rockies decide they need a starter in-season.
31	Jason Castro	C	HOU	22	Double-A	Triple-A
We like the Baseball America comparison that called him the next A.J. Pierzynski this winter.
32	Matt Moore	SP	TB	20	Low Class A	High Class A
High strikeout rate will be something to watch as he gets advanced to the high levels; there's huge upside here.
33	Tyler Matzek	SP	COL	19	High school	Low Class A
We haven't seen him as a pro yet, but Baseball America says he is the next Cole Hamels with better stuff.
34	Aaron Hicks	OF	MIN	20	Low Class A	Low Class A
He is years away, but his potentially high ceiling makes him a prospect worth stashing long term.
35	Scott Sizemore	2B	DET	25	Triple-A	Majors
He won't be an elite player by any stretch, but a potential 20-20 second baseman is still a Fantasy commodity.
36	Ike Davis	1B	NYM	22	Double-A	Triple-A
A promising spring could put him in the mix to arrive in the middle of 2010 and become an immediate mainstay.
37	Fernando Martinez	OF	NYM	21	Majors	Triple-A
Years of injury woes have tarnished his prospect status, but all that presumed potential has to still be there.
38	Michael Bowden	SP	BOS	23	Majors	Triple-A
Red Sox's logjam holds him back for now, so he might have to serve Justin Masterson-like role for franchise.
39	Junichi Tazawa	SP	BOS	23	Majors	Triple-A
He will be a serviceable No. 5 starter fill-in coming up from Triple-A as needed this season.
40	Ryan Westmoreland	OF	BOS	19	Low Class A	Low Class A
He is a real long way from Boston right now, but the big-market hype machine is running full strength on him.
41	Daniel Hudson	SP	CHW	23	Majors	Triple-A
Freddy An. Garcia can't be counted on at No. 5, so Hudson will at least be a June 1 call-up candidate.
42	Derek Norris	C	WAS	21	High Class A	Double-A
Spending this spring alongside Ivan Rodriguez should help Norris immensely, but he will remain in minors all year.
43	Casey Crosby	SP	DET	21	Low Class A	High Class A
He has been drawing comparisons to Clayton Kershaw by Baseball America, so there is plenty to live up to.
44	Jarrod Parker	SP	ARI	21	Double-A	Double-A
Tommy John surgery has ruined most of his 2010 season, but he still remains one of the best long-term projects.
45	Tyler Flowers	C	CHW	24	Majors	Triple-A
Pierzynski's replacement can slug with the best at the position, which could make him intriguing in 2010.
46	Yonder Alonso	1B	CIN	22	Double-A	Triple-A
With Joey Votto now set at first, the Reds are looking to find a new position for Alonso this spring; he can hit, though.
47	Jared Mitchell	OF	CHW	21	Low Class A	High Class A
Former football player is raw by baseball standards, but his physical skills grade very highly right away.
48	Austin Jackson	OF	DET	23	Triple-A	Majors
He doesn't figure to be great right away, but you can see some speed-and-power potential long term.
49	Freddie Freeman	1B	ATL	20	Double-A	Double-A
He was a bit disappointing last season, but he remains the Braves' long-term option at first base, perhaps in late '10.
50	Todd Frazier	OF	CIN	24	Triple-A	Triple-A
The Reds are considering this converted shortstop in left, second or perhaps third base; he should hit anywhere.
51	Donovan Tate	OF	SD	19	High school	Low Class A
The Padres selected the Georgia product at No. 3 overall last June and was able to lure him away from football.
52	Timothy Alderson	SP	PIT	21	Double-A	Triple-A
His stock slipped last year, because of declining velocity, so watch him closely this season for another fall.
53	Adam Moore	C	SEA	25	Triple-A	Majors
Jeff Clement and Kenji Johjima are no longer blocking him, so consider him the M's catcher of choice right now.
54	Jonathon Niese	SP	NYM	23	Majors	Majors
His stuff isn't electric, but he changes speeds and knows how to pitch despite his inexperience and young age.
55	David Freese	3B	STL	26	Triple-A	Majors
He is currently atop the Cards depth chart and could be a huge 27-year-old breakout this year.
56	Chris Heisey	OF	CIN	25	Triple-A	Majors
We consider him an Eric Byrnes type and he could earn a starting job in left for the Reds.
57	Josh Bell	3B	BAL	23	Double-A	Triple-A
There is legit corner-infield pop in his bat, which could make him a candidate to arrive later in 2010 as a regular.
58	Jake Arrieta	SP	BAL	24	Triple-A	Triple-A
Other Orioles prospects have surged past him, but he won't be completely forgotten about for an arrival this year.
59	Alex Avila	C	DET	23	Majors	Majors
He might start the year as a backup in Detroit, but his pop will make him intriguing in most leagues by year's end.
60	J.P. Arencibia	C	TOR	24	Triple-A	Triple-A
There is 30-homer potential in his bat, but his batting average was low last year in Triple-A, where he will return.
61	Mike Moustakas	3B	KC	21	High Class A	Double-A
His stock has slipped some, but a big year in Double-A this season could put himself in the mix for a 2011 job.
62	Josh Vitters	3B	CHC	20	High Class A	High Class A
The Cubs kept him out of trades thus far, so he still could be Aramis Ramirez's replacement in a few years.
63	Phillippe Aumont	SP	PHI	21	Double-A	Double-A
His move to the bullpen was supposed to speed up his arrival, but he is back to starting and likely a '10 arrival.
64	Ian Desmond	SS	WAS	24	Majors	Triple-A
He was going to get a shot at starting this spring, but he likely won't arrival to June 1 or midseason now.
65	Tanner Scheppers	SP	TEX	23	Independent	Double-A
There is some concern about his shoulder, but the stuff he once showed keeps him among the elite prospects.
66	Jaff Decker	OF	SD	20	Low Class A	High Class A
A Jason Kubel type outfielder who likely won't be a factor this year, but he could position himself for 2011.
67	James Darnell	3B	SD	23	High Class A	Double-A
The South Carolina product can position himself for an in-season promotion with a hot start; he might switch positions.
68	Tim Beckham	OF	TB	20	Low Class A	High Class A
He was a disappointment in his first pro season, but his talent and age give him plenty of time to make it.
69	Dayan Viciedo	3B	CHW	21	Double-A	Triple-A
Everyone loved him last spring -- much more than us -- and now he is falling through the cracks; he's still good.
70	Aaron Poreda	SP	SD	23	Majors	Triple-A
There is talk he might need to move to the bullpen, but the Padres have plenty of time to invest in him.
71	Logan Forsythe	3B	SD	23	Double-A	Triple-A
We compared him to a Mark Teahen-type and now he might give second a try like Teahen did last year.
72	Reid Brignac	SS	TB	24	Majors	Majors
He has been talked about as a run-producing shortstop for years, but he will have to earn his at-bats this spring.
73	Wilkin Ramirez	OF	DET	24	Majors	Triple-A
He still whiffs too much, but his speed-and-power mix could make him a candidate to help the Tigers right now.
74	Drew Storen	RP	WAS	22	Double-A	Triple-A
If he wasn't a reliever, we would rank him a lot higher. We will regret it when he becomes the Nats' closer.
75	Chris Marrero	1B	WAS	21	Double-A	Double-A
Future masher hasn't displayed the type of power many expected thus far, but he is still real, real young.
76	Gaby Sanchez	1B	FLA	26	Majors	Majors
We rank Morrison higher due to potential, but Sanchez is more likely to open at 1B for the Marlins.
77	Michael Saunders	OF	SEA	23	Majors	Triple-A
He likely won't start, which could punch a ticket back to Triple-A, so he can play every day and get at-bats.
78	Jacob Turner	SP	DET	18	High school	Low Class A
One of the best high school arms in the 2009 draft, according to scouts, so he has long-term keeper value.
79	Kyle Gibson	SP	MIN	22	NCAA	High Class A
He would be ranked a lot higher if not for injury woes that kept him from making his pro debut late last year.
80	Max Ramirez	C	TEX	25	Triple-A	Triple-A
It was a disaster season for him in 2009, which was supposed to be one where he could break through.
81	Ben Revere	OF	MIN	21	High Class A	Double-A
Burner will never develop power on his small frame, but he could be a 50-plus basestealer in a few years.
82	Jenrry Mejia	SP	NYM	20	Double-A	Double-A
Wicked stuff has the Mets thinking he might be able to pitch out of the bullpen in the majors this year.
83	Danny Valencia	3B	MIN	25	Triple-A	Triple-A
His 38 doubles combined last year suggest his power will be more impressive once he arrives, perhaps very soon.
84	Shelby Miller	SP	STL	20	Low Class A	Low Class A
Baseball America says the Cardinals haven't had a pitching prospect this good since Rick Ankiel. Interesting.
85	Jaime Garcia	SP	STL	23	Triple-A	Triple-A
Tommy John surgery stalled his expected arrival in 2008, but he is healthy now and could be their No. 5 starter.
86	Lance Lynn	SP	STL	22	Triple-A	Triple-A
The Cards' 2008 first-rounder had a great season in Double-A and could be another potential impact call-up.
87	Hector Rondon	SP	CLE	22	Triple-A	Triple-A
The Indians briefly considered him in relief, but they are making a good decision to keep him stretched out.
88	Carlos Carrasco	SP	CLE	23	Majors	Triple-A
One of the key pieces of the Cliff Lee deal last year wasn't impressive right away, but we won't give up on him.
89	Wilson Ramos	C	MIN	22	Double-A	Triple-A
Barring a very unlikely free-agent departure of Mauer, Ramos will mean more as trade bait to Minnesota.
90	Jason Knapp	SP	CLE	19	Low Class A	Low Class A
He struggled with injuries after being acquired in the Lee deal, but the teenager has plenty time on his hands.
91	Wilmer Flores	SS	NYM	18	Low Class A	Low Class A
Those Miguel Cabrera comparisons look like a stretch, but there are still a lot of years for him to grow.
92	Michael Brantley	OF	CLE	22	Triple-A	Majors
Acquired in the CC Sabathia trade, this slap-hitting basestealer could be the Indians' opening-day left fielder.
93	Christopher Withrow	SP	LAD	21	Double-A	Double-A
The 2007 first-rounder out of a Texas high school handled Double-A as a 20-year-old quite impressively.
94	Matt Dominguez	3B	FLA	20	Double-A	Double-A
A subpar 2009 campaign was a bit surprising for Moustakas' high school teammate; he could turn it back around.
95	Nick Hagadone	SP	CLE	24	High Class A	High Class A
One of the key pieces of the Victor Martinez trade; if Santana can star and the pitching comes through ...
96	Mike Minor	SP	ATL	22	Low Class A	High Class A
The Vandy first-round pick has drawn comparisons to Jeremy Sowers, who is more command than power.
97	Dee Gordon	SS	LAD	21	Low Class A	High Class A
Burner could make himself a candidate to replace Rafael Furcal as early as the beginning of 2011.
98	Julio Teheran	SP	ATL	19	Low Class A	High Class A
This power-armed Colombian is a potential No. 1 pitching prospect candidate in a few more years.
99	Brett Lawrie	2B	MIL	20	Double-A	Double-A
Usually a move from catcher hurts a prospect's value, but Lawrie could arrive in the majors quicker now.
100	Hank Conger	C	LAA	22	Double-A	Triple-A
Injuries had derailed him, but his successful comeback in 2009 restores his top prospect status at catcher.

Bonifacio out 4-6 weeks
Emilio Bonifacio, CF, MIA
5/24/2012

News: Marlins outfielder Emilio Bonifacio, already on the 15-day DL, will miss an additional 4-6 weeks since he will have thumb surgery on Friday.

Analysis: This is a terrible development for the Marlins and Fantasy owners. Bonifacio was hitting .394 in his previous nine games before going on the DL and was a valuable source of steals for Fantasy owners. He is now out until late June at the earliest, so continue to stash him in Fantasy. Bryan Petersen will continue to start in center field in Bonifacio's absence.

Kearns placed on disabled list
Austin Kearns, LF, MIA
5/24/2012

News: The Marlins put outfielder Austin Kearns on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday, retroactive to May 23. Kearns sustained a strained right hamstring while running the bases in Tuesday's game against the Rockies. He was replaced on the Marlins' active roster by outfielder Kevin Mattison, who was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans.

Analysis: Kearns had been on fire at the plate, and he was the main playing time beneficiary of Gaby Sanchez's demotion to Triple-A, as Logan Morrison vacated left field to play first base. When Kearns returns, it could be to a reserve role, so owners looking to clear a DL spot should monitor the Marlins' outfield situation over the coming weeks. It may not be worthwhile hanging on to Kearns while he recovers from his injury.

Freeman still having eye trouble
Freddie Freeman, 1B, ATL
5/24/2012

News: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is still dealing with a dry-eye issue that kept him out of a game last week. Freeman had a procedure to plug his tear ducts, but that, along with eye drops and contact lenses, have not completely eradicated the problem. Freeman was out of the Braves' starting lineup for Thursday's game at Cincinnati, though it has not been reported as to whether his absence was related to his eye problem. Eric Hinske got the start at first base in Freeman's place.

Analysis: It had appeared as if Freeman had put this medical issue behind him, so this latest report is something that should concern his Fantasy owners. Given that Freeman's absence from the lineup may not be related to his eye problem, there may not be any need for owners to take action, but it is certainly a situation worth following. When he is healthy enough to play, Freeman is worth starting in virtually all formats.

Bad first impression for Reed
Addison Reed, RP, CHW
2:44 AM

News: Newly-named White Sox Closer Addison Reed was not pitching in a save situation on Thursday, however the team did turn to him to pitch the 10th inning of a five-run game against the Twins. Reed struck out two in the inning, however he was hit hard, giving up two runs on a home run off the bat of Justin Morneau. He finished with those two earned runs and strikeouts in one inning, as the White Sox won, 11-8.

Analysis: It was not a save situation, but that was not a good first impression for the Fantasy owners who picked him up today after hearing the news. Reed had four saves in his last six appearances before Thursday, and he has allowed runs in just two of his 18 appearances this season. He should still be added in many mixed Fantasy leagues, however this was certainly not a good outing for him.

Haren masterful in complete game
Dan Haren, SP, LAA
1:11 AM

News: Angels starting pitcher Dan Haren had yet to find his way in the 2012 season prior to Thursday’s game against the Mariners, however he looked as good as he ever has in the game, picking up his sixth career complete-game shutout to lead the Angels to a 3-0 win. Haren allowed just four hits in the game while establishing a new career-high in strikeouts with 14, as he mowed through the Mariners offense with ease. Haren allowed just three runners to reach second base, two of them on stolen bases, but was never in any real trouble, as he picked up just his second win of the season. Haren needed 126 pitches to finish the game, tossing first pitch strikes to 22 of the 31 batters he faced, as he was in control all night.

Analysis: Haren has typically been a much stronger first-half player than a second-half player, so the fact that his ERA was standing at a fairly robust 4.37 before this game was something of a surprise. After just one start, Haren lowered that number to 3.76, while simultaneously putting to rest any doubts about a possible decline in skills in his age-31 season. With the exception of an ugly 2-5 record, Haren’s starts are largely where we expected them to be this season, as he has struckout more than four batters for every one he has walked through 64 2/3 innings. He is set to face a tough Yankees lineup in his next start, on Tuesday during Week 9 (May 28-June 3), however he has put up a 5-1 record with a 3.43 ERA against them in 10 career starts, so consider him a solid Fantasy option in all formats.

Betancourt begins rehab
Yuniesky Betancourt, SS, KC
1:43 AM

News: Royals shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt was back on the field on Thursday, as the designated hitter for Double-A Northwest Arkansas, as he began his rehab assignment while recovering from his ankle injury. Betancourt went 2 for 5 in the game, with a pair of strikeouts and RBI.

Analysis: Betancourt is getting closer and closer to getting back on the field for the Royals,but he will need at least a week of rehab, first in Double-A and then Triple-A, before he is ready to return to the majors. Betancourt's last game before the injury was back on May 1 at Detroit and the shortstop has a .280 batting average on the season with a homer and three RBI over 50 at-bats. When healthy, Betancourt should be considered merely an AL-only option.

Rollins returns from paternity leave
Jimmy Rollins, SS, PHI
1:39 AM

News: Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins returned from the paternity list on Thursday, after missing the team’s previous three games to be with his wife while she gave birth. Rollins went 2 for 6 in the game with a strikeout, as the Phillies defeated the Cardinals, 10-9. it was Reyes’ 11th multi-hit game of the season.

Analysis: Reyes has struggled to start the season, and unlike most of the other players on the Phillies’ roster, he has not begun to show signs that he is bouncing out of it, as he has been hitting just .222 in the month of May after a .235 April. He remains a solid bounce-back candidate given his past production, and should be kept active in most formats, despite his troubles.

Adjustment for A-Rod pays off
Alex Rodriguez, 3B, NYY
5/24/2012

News: The New York Post reports that Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has made adjustments to his batting stance, and he credits his strong performance on Wednesday against the Royals to the changes. Rodriguez told reporters after Tuesday's win, "I feel like I’m about to go off.," after widening his stance and shortening his leg kick in his last at-bat in the game. He carried the changes over into batting practice on Wednesday and into the subsequent contest, in which he went 2 for 4 with a pair of homers and three RBI.

Analysis: Time will tell if Rodriguez's tweaked stance will translate into better production. He had been hitting flyballs at a much lower rate this season, which had led to fewer extra-base hits. It's a trend to watch in the coming days and weeks. Even if A-Rod's power spike is short-lived, he still has enough power that he is worth starting in nearly all formats.

Report: Jennings could get the call
Dan Jennings, RP, MIA
1:34 AM

News: The Marlins sent down relief pitcher Mike Dunn to Triple-A after Thursday's game against the Giants, leaving them with a need for a left-handed reliever that the Sun Sentinel reports will likely be Dan Jennings, currently pitching for Triple-A New Orleans.

Analysis: Jenings was previously with the team, making just two appearances before going back down again. If he gets the call, it will likely just be for middle relief and situational usage, so he is not worth adding in any Fantasy formats.

Ruiz rolls right through injury
Carlos Ruiz, C, PHI
1:29 AM

News: Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz took a pitch off his wrist on Wednesday but played through it on Thursday and continued his incredible start to the season, going 3 for 5 with a run scored as the Phillies defeated the Cardinals, 10-9. Ruiz is now hitting .366 for the season, good for fourth in the majors.

Analysis: Ruiz has been rolling all season long, and he is showing no signs of slowing down, with a .452 batting average over the course of the last 10 games, with six RBI. He is playing at an impressive level right now, and should be active in all formats.
