Milwaukee Brewers
Top Prospect: Kaleb Cowart
Nick has a solid overall farm led by Cowart, Michael Conforto, Rob Kaminsky, and *tries to hold in vomit* Mark Appel. Taylor Guerrieri and Danny Hultzen will look to return healthy next year. I wouldnt be surprised if Nick moves a few prospects for MLB pieces because Jose Abreu, Danny Santana, and co are rotting right now.
Grade - B+
9.
Washington Nationals
Top Prospect: DJ Peterson
Wait. You mean Bryan has a farm? Well apparently he does and its pretty good too. Led by DJ Peterson, Nick Kingham, Bradley Zimmer, and Justus Sheffield, Bryan has put together a top 10 farm in 3 or 4 trades. Dont look for it to last for long though as Bryan will look to compete and make a run for the division title again. Kyle Parker is also worth mentioning as he is probably the closest in Bryan's farm to the show.
Grade - B+
8.
Los Angeles Angels
Top Prospect: Nick Gordon
Santi has also put together a top farm with a few trades, acquiring Nick Gordon, Alex Gonzalez, Max Fried, Tyler Danish, Sean Reid-Foley, and rule v picks to draft Ketel Marte and Marcos Molina. Santi looks like he will indefinitely carry out a full rebuild and its starting off pretty well.
Grade - B+
7.
Seattle Mariners
Top Prospect: Francisco Lindor
Thomas has shown that hes willing to rebuild but not for too long. After acquiring rising stars in Anthony Rizzo and Manny Machado, Thomas still has a top farm with Lindor, Jesse Winker, Collin Moran, and Max Stassi.
Grade - A-
6.
St Louis Cardinals
Top Prospect: Julio Urias
Getting into the heavy hitters here. The various Cards owners have traded Machado, Rizzo, Profar, and more to TSteak for his top prospects including Urias, Rafael Montero, and Stephen Piscotty. And don't forget about Randall Grichuk, Dominic Smith, and Pierce Johnson. Look for the Cards to be a top 3 farm by this time next year.
Grade - A
5.
Toronto Blue Jays
Top Prospect: Albert Almora
I'd like to be higher for egotistical reasons but top 5 ain't bad. The Jays have one of the deepest farms in the league led by Albert Almora, Maikel Franco, Sean Manaea, Luis Severino, and Marco Gonzales. Keep an eye on prospects rising quickly up the ranks like Austin Wilson, Lewis Thorpe, Luiz Gohara, Jen-Ho Tseng, Kodi Medeiros, Roberto Osuna, and Jake Bauers. Look for the Jays to also be a top 3 farm by this time next year.
Grade - A
4.
Minnesota Twins
Top Prospect: Carlos Correa
Yes, Brent still has a top farm in the league. Carlos Correa looks to be a stud in the MLB and Aaron Sanchez has already been called up. Kyle Zimmer and Garin Cecchini are right behind them and Edwin Diaz looks very solid in the Mariners future.
Grade - A
3.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Top Prospect: Addison Russel
With the recent graduations of Oscar Taveras, Taijuan Walker and Billy Hamilton, JT still has a top 3 farm in the league. It can be argued that the Pirates have the top farm but the next two are simply a little better. JT's farm is led by Addison Russel, Joey Gallo, Robert Stephenson, Tyler Kolek, Brady Aiken, Kyle Schwarber, and Austin Hedges. He also has David Dahl, Brandon Nimmo, Alex Meyer, and Jose Berrios for good measure. Look for the Pirates to drop in the rankings as the top guys graduate.
Grade - A+
2.
Chicago Cubs
Top Prospect: Byron Buxton
How is it fair the the World Series winner also has a top 2 farm? Either way Psych has arguably the best farm in the league led by Buxton, Miguel Sano, Lucas Giolito, Josh Bell, Alex Jackson, Braden Shipley, Henry Owens, Daniel Norris, and Matt Olson. Keep an eye on Manuel Margot, Franklin Barreto, and recently drafted Ozhaino Albies and expect them to quickly rise up the rankings.
Grade - A+
1.
Washington Nationals
Top Prospect: DJ Peterson
What team could have a better farm than the Chicago Cubs? Bryan's Nationals thats who! From competing to maintaing a farm Bryan can do anything and everything without ever even breaking a sweat.
Seriously,
Boston Red Sox
Top Prospect: Kris Bryant
Jimmy has put together the top farm in the league as his rebuild is coming to a close, even with the recent graduations of George Springer, Gregory Polanco, James Paxton, Mookie Betts, Trevor Bauer, and Xander Bogaerts. Kris Bryant looks to be a stud in the making and Carlos Rodon is quickly moving up the levels. Joc Pederson, Clint Frazier, Austin Meadows, Dylan Bundy, Jesse Biddle, Aaron Nola, and Christian Bethancourt are all close to the majors and could make an impact in Jimmy's run for the divison next year. Keep an eye on Touki Toussaint, Rio Ruiz, and Wendell Rijo.
