Atlanta Braves top 100 prospects in the organization
Atlanta Braves 2022 top 100 prospects The Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series with a roster dominated by players who had come up through the farm system. The 2022 team saw multiple players graduate, and the Braves’ farm system is now legitimately the 30th-ranked system in the game, but there is still plenty of raw talent. Each prospect is going to have the age as of April 1, 2023, highest 2022 level, Rule 5 eligibility information, and my version of a projected future value for each player. Updated: December 15, 2022 Preface: each list is with the players in the system at the time of the list and with…

Baltimore Orioles Top 50 Prospects
Baltimore Orioles top 50 prospects Last Updated: 9/15/19 The Baltimore Orioles are under new management, and they have already seen a significant overhaul within their development system – and they’re doing even more this offseason. The top teams are consistently innovating in their development, which is how a team like Baltimore went from a playoff contender to bottom of the barrel so quickly – sticking to old, long-passed adages. Now with a new regime, hopefully, this list will begin to take shape with even more depth and talent throughout! Preface: each list is done at the time of the update, and each list is fluid, so players could be adjusted…

Ranking the best farm systems in MLB going into 2019
With the minor league season just completing the first weekend of play, it’s a good time to look at the minor league systems in the game. Who is good, who is not? The first grouping in rankings really is the bottom 4, which includes three teams who have seen a lot of success in the 2010s, along with one that has worked into recent competitiveness: 30. Boston Red Sox Top prospect: #119 Michael Chavis, 3B Prospect to watch in 2019: Antoni Flores, SS The Red Sox saw Dave Dombrowski do what he’s known for doing – build a winner at the major league level at the expense of the farm…

Minnesota Twins top 10 prospects for 2019
One of the sites that I edited for 7 months, 4 of which were record pageview months, was a Minnesota Twins blog site, and having grown up in the upper Midwest, the Twins have been part of my family’s life for many years. Certainly, many of my followers over the years have been from the Twins fan base. System Overview When the Minnesota Twins hired Thad Levine and Derek Falvey before the 2017 season, they inherited a farm system that had just graduated some very exciting young talent to the major leagues and had the #1 pick in the upcoming draft, but there was some significant concern about the long-term…

New York Mets top 10 prospects for 2019
The first top 10 prospect list on the new site happens to be the New York Mets, so bear with me with the new format! System Overview Typically known for having 1-2 quality players and pushing them much too hard to the point that the players fizzled out quickly, the New York Mets had seen their farm system fall to one of the worst in the game just 2-3 years ago. While new General Manager Brody Van Wagenen has traded a few players already, former GM Sandy Alderson helped to build up the farm system over the last few seasons with quality drafts of college arms and high-upside high school…

Rankings
As any good prospect writer, I’ve understood that many readers come to understand prospects in how they rate against another prospect, hence the desire for rankings. With this new venture, there will be a chance to add in more types of rankings, but I have put together a number of rankings in the past, so those will continue as well.
