Now that the baseball season is two months in, Kiley McDaniel from ESPN.com updated his top 50 prospects in Major League Baseball.

Chase Burns was the Reds' top-ranked prospect on the list at #12.

"Burns might not look like a command specialist with his loud delivery and upper-90s fastball, but he's in the strike zone an awful lot, McDaniel wrote. "His 86-90 mph slider is possibly the best breaking ball in the minor leagues, and his fastball sits 96-100 mph."

Reds catching prospect Alfredo Duno was ranked #43 on the list. Starting pitcher Rhett Lowder was ranked #48 and Chase Petty was ranked #49.

McDaniel has Duno ranked higher than just about any prospect list I've seen. The catcher is slashing .231/.346/.431 with 16 extra-base hits in 36 games this season for Low-A Daytona.

Rhett Lowder left last night's game in Triple-A Louisville with an injury.
