Will James and I can agree on this

Baseball America's latest draft preview has Chris Ellis the 69th best prospect in the country, hs or college, which puts him 20 spots higher than Lindgren at 89! I'm not saying Ellis won't go higher because it only takes one idiotic team to like him! But, I am saying there is no comparison between the 2 as prospects. No even close. Ellis isn't a swing and miss guy in college! I'm sorry but that is nuts! FYI they have vallot coming in at #57. Sorry if this has been previously posted.

My guess is that they consider Ellis a SP prospect and Lindgren strictly a RP, thus accounting for the difference.

Sp, rp. Anyway one wants to look at it, Ellis doesn't have one above avg major league pitch. Lindgren, on the other hand, has a slider to die for. Another reason some might not be as high on lindgren is his command is suspect at times. But he's better than the 89th best prospect.
