The Mariners system hit on all (or most) cylinders in 2023.  Cole Young and Harry Ford have developed into two of the best prospects in the game.  If you believe Ford is the better prospect and should be #1 overall, it would be tough to argue against you.  I ultimately went with Young, more because […]

The strength in the A’s system is their pitching.  If Mason Miller stays healthy, he could become a top-of-the-rotation starter.  However, and I will stress, he’s never been able to stay healthy.  Joey Estes, Luis Morales, and Joe Boyle are also very interesting, and Boyle and Estes should see time in Oakland next season. I’m […]

The Angles feel lost to me.  The Major League team has some famous players and arguably two of the best players ever to put on a uniform over the past five years.  Yet, they finished 16 games below .500. Most organizations with a weak Major League team are rebuilding.  Therefore, their minor league system is […]

While the Astros system is not what it used to be, it’s stronger than I initially thought before digging in.  I love Jacob Melton, and assuming he can make enough contact, the tools are extremely loud.  2024 will be a critical year to see if the solid contact he made last season translates.  Zach Dezenzo […]

The Giants’ system is sound, led by Kyle Harrison and Marco Luciano. Both saw time in the Major Leagues in 2023, with Harrison having more success than Luciano. I still like Luciano long-term, but there will be swing-and-miss in his game that fantasy managers will have to deal with. Bryce Eldridge is an intriguing prospect […]

You can go early and grab an elite-level talent, work the middle tier and find a host of steady power/speed threats, or cherry-pick the bottom tier and play the spec game. Second base is deep in proven talent with plenty of options to fill every potential roster build. Pick the one that works and roll […]

Once again, the Dodgers system is strong.  However, unlike previous years, there’s more depth this time than Top 50 prospects. When I look at the top of the system with Dalton Rushing, River Ryan, and Diego Cartaya, they all have a chance to be impact MLB players, but I have concerns about each.  While I’ll […]

I usually like the Rockies system, and once again, I have many of them ranked in my Top 400 list of Top Prospects. However, history has not been kind to the success of Rockies prospects.  They seem to underperform once they get to the big leagues.  Obviously, Nolan Jones and Ezequiel Tovar had great seasons, […]

The Diamondbacks system continues to be strong, but given their recent Major League promotions, it has gotten a little younger. One player already using up his rookie eligibility in the big leagues is Jordan Lawlar.  While he did not look like an all-star in his first taste of the Major Leagues, he has all the […]

The long drought at the Catcher position has finally come to an end, as a host of young options are now ascending the ranks and leaving very impressive stat lines in their wake. The need to move early when searching for quality options is no longer a necessity, but there are options at the top […]
