Wow. A few of those suprise me.

Really? Which ones?

By the way. Their resoning is quality is better than quanity.

<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">

isn't that kind of the wrong idea? especially in baseball? I mean, so few minor leaguers pan out compared to the number who do. Even 'can't miss' prospects.

And, to a certain extent, isn't having a lot of 'decent' prospects who could pan out better than having one or two 'great' ones?

At least as far as building a good team.

Josh Callis went over the Quality vs. Quanity in his Ask Ba things like a month ago.

Here is the link for that. Scroll down to March 3rd and you'll see it.

Casey Kotchman (super player out of HS, injured recently), Jeff Mathis (right there behind Joe Mauer in terms of catchers), Dallas McPherson (might replace Glauss if Troy asks for too much), and Bobby Jenks (sick pitcher but a head case) highlight the Angels farm system.

IMO (which doesn't mean much), the Top 5 systems
1. Milwaukee
2. Anaheim
3. Minnesota
4. Los Angeles
5. New York Mets

Mets are a bit top heavy but the top of that system ranks up there with the best.

most of the Mets "premium" talent is at AA right now...i dont know that id consider that top-heavy......i DO like the way weve been building up the farm system though, should put us in good position to acquire who we need should we perform well enough at the major league level to warrant it
