I went through and complied the league by league Top 20s for Rookie - A+ leagues and awarded points as follows:
Lower Rookie Level (GCL, AZL)
Code:
Rank Points Awarded
1 30
2 28
3 26
4 24
5 22
6 20
7 18
8 16
9 14
10 12
11 10
12 9
13 8
14 7
15 6
16 5
17 4
18 3
19 2
20 1
Now for each bump in level, each point value went up by 1 point. High rookie level #1 prospects were worth 31 instead of 30, and Low A #1's were worth 32 and High A #1's were worth 33.
Its a very inacccurate science, but it seemed to work somewhat well in my mind. For players who were listed in 2 seperate leagues, I gave them 0 points for their lowest score and just gave them the highest points once. No need to reward a team twice for the same player.
There are some flaws in the system for sure (for example Jay Bruce or Justin Upton were ranked #1 in their respective leagues and were each valued at 33 points. Brett Cecil was the #1 prospect in the NYP, and he was worth 31 points.... and well, he is nowhere near the same value as either of those guys, but there was no real way for me to go through the 220 players and assign each a value), but it does give you a decent look at the depth at the lower levels with the players ranked, and then the total value of those players gives you an actual idea of the top end value by averaging the number by players.
Anyways, here is the list for all Levels below AA
Code:
Team Players Points Average Player Points
Braves 9 192 21.3
Rangers 12 191 15.9

Anyways, I just thought it would be interesting to take a look at to at least get a feel of the types of players each system had in the lower minors.
