Baseball America recently put out its top-20 rankings for every league in the minor leagues, and quite a few Rockies made it. Here's the list, with the overall ranking in the league in parentheses:
Gulf Coast League: Gary Sanchez (1) Ramon Flores (13)

I am a big fan of John Sickels, so here are the rankings of my top 20 prospects. While I will use John Sickels' grades for players, I reserve the right to rank players with lower grades better than those with higher grades (i.e. Rosario over Sanchez). All grades listed (as well as comments) are taken from John Sickels (minorleagueball.com).
Colorado Rockies Top Prospects
1) Mike Trout, OF, Grade: A - "Complete package if his power fully develops, and still an excellent player even if it doesn't."
2) Chris Archer, SP, Grade: B+ - "Another hard-thrower who emerged as a surprise in '10."
3) Trey McNutt, SP, Grade: B+ - "Hard to believe this guy was a 32nd round pick. . .he's got great stuff."
4) Jonathan Singleton, 1B/OF, Grade: B+ - "Concern over poor second half splits kept me from going with the A-, but I do like him a lot."
5) Tyler Matzek, SP, B+ - "Almost went with a straight B due to command issues, but reports from instructional league are good and the ceiling remains excellent."
6) Wilin Rosario, C, B - "This assumes that his knee is OK. Strong glove, tapped into his power this year."
7) Gary Sanchez, C, B+ - "Could be Montero with a better glove."
8) Nolan Arenado, 3B, B - "I don't think he gets quite as much attention as he deserves. Doubles should translate into more homers."
9) Jerry Sands, 1B/OF, B - "I think his bat is for real, should be a very productive power hitter."
10) Rubby de la Rosa, SP, B - "I'm not sure he gets his due. Love the fastball and grounders, would like to see a few more strikeouts, does he start or relieve?"
11) Kentrail Davis, OF, B- - "Good tools, hits for average, I think he'll get on base. But what about power?"
12) Rex Brothers, RP, B - "A super-LOOGY at worst, a great closer at best if his command sharpens up a bit."
