MLB.com has decided not just to post results and highlights, but content as well. This means, alongside the other outlets (Fangraphs, Baseball American, ESPN, and AstrosFuture), we get to see their prospect rankings.
Mid-season rankings always mix speculation and results. How one ranks, for instance, players just drafted who’ve been professional ball players for two weeks is, let’s say, a matter of taste.
The overall farm ranking is going to be back in the toilet after the system seemed poised to get out of the bottom 5. That will happen when you graduate Yainer Diaz and Hunter Brown, and lose Drew Gilbert, Ryan Clifford and Korey Lee.
