#14 Toula & Port - 1899 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 8
Top Prospect: Dansby Swanson
Upcoming Draft: 2.18

This is a fairly weak farm, IMO, but having Swanson on it gives it a significant bump. Swanson, who is OTB in case anyone wants to overpay for him, should contribute starting now. After that, there isn't much to speak of outside of maybe Kilome and Staumont.

Damn. I thought our farm was easily one of the worst in the league.

ETA- And there it is

Ain't nobody worried about a farm.

#13 MWG - 1938 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 10
Top Prospect: Jack Flaherty
Upcoming Draft: 1.3, 2.14

10 ranked guys, but none in the top 100. Pretty boring if you ask me. Some of the guys have some upside though (Alford, Candelario). Will get a stud at 1.3 unless he trades it.

Will have it filled with top 100 prospects by midyear

#12 Rondo - 2128 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 9
Top Prospect: Eloy Jimenez
Upcoming Draft: 1.7, 1.12, 2.5, 2.20

Only two top 100 guys (Chapman is the other), but like Swanson did with T&P's ranking, Eloy gives Rondo's squad a significant boost. It's just a shame that he had to trade for Hellickson in order to do it. Lots of draft picks this year will help boost this team's farm ranking.

I see Staumont got a name drop. Stumbled on him last week

#11 Earl - 2145 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 8
Top Prospect: Ramiel Tapia
Upcoming Draft: 2.1

Earl, the King of Prospecting, takes quite a drop in this year's rankings. Of course, this was purposely done as he moved several key pieces in an effort to contend this year. Tapia is listed as his best prospect, but Mejia and Bradley are right up there with him. I fully expect this to be a top 3 farm system when I do these rankings again next year.

#10 Roll Dat Roll - 2213 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 8
Top Prospect: Ozzie Albies
Upcoming Draft: 1.17

Five Top 100 prospects highlight this farm. I'm still not really all that high on Albies, but maybe I'm wrong? I love Allard, and Calhoun has a chance to be a nice piece down the road. Stephenson needs to shite or get off the pot.

#9 Gyno - 2266 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 7
Top Prospect: Lucas Giolito
Upcoming Draft: 2.12

Finally, a farm with QUALITY over quantity. Gyno boasts five guys in the top 61, led by Giolito. I feel like Giraffe bought low on him this offseason, and I expect him to thrive in Chicago. Meadows and Brinson are also nice pieces, and last year's surprise up-and-comer Keller is also waiting in the wings. Strong set, imo.

A bunch of my ex-players sitting atop other teams farms.

#8 Swamie - 2456 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 10
Top Prospect: Alex Reyes
Upcoming Draft: 1.16, 2.11

Reyes is obviously the prize prospect for Swam, but he also has three more top 100 guys in Newcomb, Cozens, and Bader. Swam probably puts more effort into his farm than most, even though he tends to trade them off before they contribute for some reason.

Went from being a top 5 prospect to maybe top 40 after leaving my squad.

#7 Deebz - 2643 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 9
Top Prospect: Brendan Rodgers
Upcoming Draft: 1.18, 2.2

Speaking of Swamie and trading away prospects, Brendan Rodgers leads Deebz impressive list of prospects. Alongside him are Jose De Leon, Josh Bell, and France Martes (ALL Top 50 prospects). Pretty strong farm from top to bottom.

#6 TTT - 2825 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 10
Top Prospect: Victor Robles
Upcoming Draft: 1.13, 2.13, 2.19

Aside from Robles, there isn't a prospect on this squad that makes me moist, although most have a decent shot to be solid contributors. Adames and Paulino join Robles in the Top 50, with Reid-Foley getting a nice showing as well. Three picks to work with this year, but they may not yield anyone super-special.

#5 Will - 2875 pts


Number of ranked prospects: 9
Top Prospect: Andrew Benintendi
Upcoming Draft: 1.6, 1.15, 2.3

Will has quietly built himself a nice foundation, and is threatening to climb out of the cellar. He's loaded with four guys in the top 21, including Rafael Devers (I will never forgive the frick for sniping me on this pick in the inaugural draft). While Rosario projects to be better IRL than in fantasy, I still think he will be a solid piece in the years to come. Will also has a nice set of picks this year.
