Great things to be said about all of those guys in our Top 10. But most Top 10 prospect lists from any club are going to be pretty darn good and I would contend that our current farm depth is about middle of the pack in that conversation.
It's not that the Reds couldn't offer up something reasonable. It's that Texas, for instance, is better positioned to overpay with something more
unreasonable than the Reds could probably pony up right now.
