There is nothing linear about a Top 100 Prospects ranking. The difference between ranking 90th and 91st on the Baseball America Top 100 Prospects list is often infinitesimal, as the gap between No. 1 and No. 20 on the list is always larger than the gap between No. 75 and No. 125.
I think most teams only have about 5 or so true core players...4+ WAR guys and/or dominant BP arms (WAR doesn’t properly rate relievers).
Legit AS level guys.

I was at a game at Shea Stadium in 1978 that became infamous. In the actual game, the Dodgers scored 3 runs in the top of the 9th inning to come back to beat the Mets by a score of 5-4. What none of us knew until after the game was that there was a fight in the Dodgers locker room between Don Sutton and Steve Garvey. Davey Lopes got hurt trying to break it up, and was subsequently scratched from the lineup.
