It’s the time of year where baseball prospect publications start dropping their lists of the top prospects in baseball, both nationally and for specific teams. There are a million such articles around this time, but my favorite is always the Fangraphs list of the top prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization.
Every year Fangraphs rolls out their lists for each MLB team’s farm system, ranking all of the prospects that have a future value (FV) of 35+ or higher. For the Giants, that number is 39 this year, one down from last year’s total.
