The Baseball Farm System Rankings

What the MLB farm system rankings reveal about the future of team competitiveness

The Rankings

The MLB farm system rankings -- the annual assessments by Baseball America, Baseball Prospectus, and the major prospect publications that evaluate the depth and talent level of each team minor league system -- are the accountability journalism of where future major league talent is being developed and which teams have made the specific minor league investment that produces the long-term major league competitiveness.

The Methodology

The methodology: the farm system rankings weight the specific prospect profiles -- the talent level of the top prospects, the depth of the system below the top prospects, and the specific positional balance of the system -- in ways that different publications weight differently, producing the specific ranking variation that the accountability journalism of the rankings requires noting.
