I used to be heavily into prospecting. My advice for researching prospects would be:

Go to Baseball America, look at their organizational top 10 prospect lists, sign up for their daily prospect update emails, look at their weekly hot lists. Baseball Prospectus is another good site to check out. Both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus have chat sessions with their writers and scouts. You can gain a lot of insight from participating and reading their chat sessions. Finally, there are a lot of team specific blogs related to prospects, never a bad idea to see what they are saying about their own prospects.

As many have said, prospecting can be tough financially, but it is enjoyable. And when you guess right, you win big. Bought a signed game used Mike Trout bat for $300, flipped it for just under 2K, similar profit on a RC Autograph. But the opposite is also true, I had plenty of cash into Alex Gordon and Jason Heyward......
