    Re: Minor league system is a bottom 5 system.

    @ Flair - 25 other minor leagues produce enough that the talent turns into some thing of a useful asset at the MLB level. I ask again --what has this team produced the last 3 years and what's coming in the next 3. All this wonderful minor league talent and we are looking at a 3 more years of 60 win seasons. Where's the production? Who's developed?

    Re: Minor league system is a bottom 5 system.

    Next year, I expect Vlad Guitterez to make more noise, possibly joining the big league club. Zeek White impressed the hell out of me when I saw him play in Billings, as did Drew Mount.

    You simply can't be reasoned with if you truly believe Santillan is 4 years away. He may well make it next year, the year after at the most.

    The "national media" who have them ranked so highly get paid to rank farm systems and do nothing but that in some cases. You watch more baseball than Baseball America staff?

    Finally, C'mon Man!

    so in other words, you can't provide a ranking of the other 29 teams?

    OK, then I'm not going to take your "minor league system is a bottom 5 system" as a troll job. Thanks.

    Flair --where do they rank?

    They haven't developed a pitcher in years --why would Tony S be any different? What kind of talent has been developed? List it, post it, anything ....

    Re: Minor league system is a bottom 5 system.

    The only take accepted is "Reds suck, farm to majors." Constant losing wears on people. Overrated system? Likely. Bottom 5....nope.
    99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...

    Every single respected national outlet has them as a top ten system, compared to the other organizations. Once again, if you think they are a bottom five, I'm willing to listen, but you need to rank the other systems for me to take you seriously.

    If someone were to say that the Godfather is only the 500th best movie of all time, I'm not sure it would be unfair to ask what movies they have ahead of it.

    Flair...I thought you left? I thought the posts were so offensive that you called it a "troll" job ...and you were going to ignore it ....and yet -your back. You're rude and i don't want to deal with you.

    Well Peter from Family Guy said The Godfather is overrated. It insists on itself. It inisists on itself.
    He did like The Money Pit though.

    The Money Pit is my wife's favorite movie. She doesn't like the Princess Bride so she doesn't have any taste, so I don't know.
