Baseball Prospectus Farm System Rankings

Kevin Goldstein just released his farm system rankings over at Baseball Prospects. He has the Reds at #18 with this to say:

Quote:
System At a Glance: A big downturn, but that's because of the Mat Latos trade; using prospect to acquire talent is one of the primary reasons for having prospects in the first place.

Re: Baseball Prospectus Farm System Rankings

I'll tell you what, I wasn't too excited after the trades as far as the farm goes, but man, what a season so far.

Hamilton
Corcino
Cingrani
Lutz

Are all having mind-blowing seasons so far. Throw in really good seasons from

H-Rod
Lamarre
Fellhauer
Rogers
Joseph
Wright
Lotzkar

And the young guns looking great so far

Stephenson
Winker
Rahier
Travieso (TBA)

I'm officially excited again.
