Thanks! I've noticed they update it as players "graduate" to the Majors, etc. But I think every year they release a brand new list with more updates in terms of players progress, etc. I was thinking that was released in late January.

I think BA release their top 100 list in February. I know they've been releasing their organization rankings. John Sickels has been doing his as well.

So going by the MLB.com rankings, if you give 100 points for the top guy, 99 for 2nd ranked, etc. Here would be the franchise rankings:

1. Yankees
2. White Sox
3. Pirates
4. Braves
5. Brewers
6. Phillies
7. Red Sox
8. Padres
9. Dodgers
10. Reds
11. Astros
12. Rockies
13. Rays
14. Indians
15. Mets
16. Cardinals
17. Athletics
18. Nationals
19. Mariners
20. Cubs
21. Twins
22. Blue Jays
23. Rangers
24. Tigers
25. Giants

The Marlins, Diamondbacks, Orioles, Angels, and Royals had no players ranked in the top 100.

Crazy that the Red Sox are number 7, and they've traded away 4 of the top 30 in the last year.

Yeah, anything can happen with these prospect rankings but the Red Sox have been on a roll with their draft picks lately. Betts, Boegarts and Bradley all came up through the system in the last few years and now they are producing huge big league numbers for just a couple million in salary combined. That's a pretty damn good core.

Most of them will be in the White Sox organization by 2017 trade deadline.

Also crazy that the Yankees are #1 on what was essentially 2 trades

One of which, the player is now on the Yankees


Keith Law had the Braves #1 and Yankees #2

Royals and Cubs win the World Series in back to back years, and the Yankees are pinching pennies and stockpiling prospects.

The apocalypse is near

Yep, not really worried about the state of the farm right now. Those C+ prospects could turn into B (or higher) prospects down the road. The Sox are no longer a rebuilding team, they're trying to win a World Series.

Yanks could be pretty scary in a few years. Gotta give Cashman a lot of credit for putting them in this position.

Keith Law p0ut his out today or yesterday, but I am not an insider anymore. hint, hint
