5 surprise teams in 2018

Richard Justice is bullish on the Braves, thanks to Acuna.

I'm surprised to see Meadows still ranked in the top 50. Wander Franco's inclusion is a little surprising for me too. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but there are a bunch of guys with production that should easily be on the list... and high on it.

Good list overall.

I doubt Acuna starts in the majors. Think they keep him down ala kris Bryant

If the Braves can jump to around 500 this year I think they’ll start to get pretty aggressive in acquiring major league talent to supplement their young homegrown core for 2019. And we’ve certainly seen teams make larger jumps than that who have been in similar positions

Mariners with one Top 100 prospect, at 69. Woof.

Mariners have taken the Angels spot as worst farm system most likely

In case anyone was wondering, the Braves led the way with 8.


They also have 6 in the bottom half of Laws rankings.

I was scared to open the link. Now, my day is already ruined. Giants with one prospect at 79. But hey, it is an even year, and if our pitching staff can stay healthy and perform, then I think we can score some runs and get in with the wild card. And we all know about the Giants in the playoffs. Window is closing fast, but we already have 3 titles this decade so it makes it much easier to prepare for a bleak near future.

Giants really needed to build up the farm system and strip down the club, and instead, they spent big. Interesting strategy.

Good. They sucked anyway. Thanks MLB for taking them away.

Vlad, Bichette, and Tatis with sons in the top 10. Crazy.

Still can’t believe the Cubs traded Eloy for Quintana.
