24. Jordan Lyles, RHP, Houston. He probably lacks the ceiling of most of the arms on this list, but there's a chance for three pitches here and his performance at 19 in Double-A has been remarkable -- especially for a guy many teams didn't see as a top-five-rounder when the Astros took him in the sandwich round in 2008. Previous ranking: No. 60

Joe to Keith Law: Just because you rank Lyles ahead of where Baseball America ranked him doesn't excuse you from being called a tool from me. :)
