I always like to see Keith Law's and Baseball Prospectus lists too. They tend to be more critical of everyone.
There's not a consensus 1, but there's a consensus top 2 and most top 4's will look similar. After that it's a cluster****. There's still quite a bit of depth in the Giants farm, though not a lot of high-end talent. I 100% believe that if we had one blue-chip prospect, this would be a top-10 system. 1 Lucas Giolito, Yoan Moncada, Benintendi etc., people would look at this system much differently. As it stands we have a lot of medium-ceiling, high-floor guys, which is still so useful for the major league club that is in the luxury tax. And in the 2016 draft we took a TON of high-ceiling, low-floor guys, so hopefully we can win the lottery on one of those guys.
I'll be posting my thoughts at some point, but it's that time of year!
