Track record and proximity play big roles, too. I think prospect guys are scared to be the ones who miss on a universally hailed prospect that they don't like. A few years ago, there was a guy named Adam Foster from a site called Project Prospect and he actually posted on our board and interacted with us. The year before Lawrie exploded, he left him completely off his top 100 when everyone had him near top 25. Lawrie had his debut and Foster was s*** on endlessly and thus, stopped posting.
I think the guy who took over for Kiley at Fangraphs could be interesting, but Fangraphs sheep don't tolerate deviations from their perceptions.
Pretty much the only "different" list you'll find is Chris Mitchell's KATOH rankings where he has to specify like 4 times + a primer that they were spit out by a machine and scouting is still important.
