The number in parentheses is the player's current rating as a prospect. Their rank is based on this number and the number is based on their quality of play/athleticism/makeup throughout their minor league career. The letter grade is their ceiling in the Majors. Realize, that an A in the Majors and an A in the Minors are very different, and the Majors grade is always more telling/harder to achieve. Finally, the Major League player listed to the right of each prospect is their closest major league comparison, both in the field and at the plate. Obviously most of these players haven't reached their potential yet, so this is who they COULD be. Please remember that age doesn't play a significant role here. For instance, if I compare a late bloomer like Joe Nathan to Daniel Bard, I'm not implying that Bard will be a late bloomer like Nathan.
