Kiley McDaniel over at ESPN is going through his prospect week for the spring, and on Friday released his list of the top prospects for each American League team. McDaniel did fantastic work as usual and if you have a subscription you should certainly go read it, and for the Oakland Athletics there are some interesting notes from this list. The first is that of course Luis Morales is the top prospect in the system given that in ESPN’s earlier-released Top 100 he was the only Athletics representative. Despite this (and ESPN going with the conventional rookie status disqualifiaction for Mason Miller and Tyler Soderstrom) McDaniel ranked the A’s as the 25th best system in baseball and the 19th in terms of depth, or players he values as 40 FV or higher.
