I live in New Jersey in the summer and see a lot of New York Yankees minor league games. Perhaps I’m suffering from recency bias, but the development of the Yankees minor league players did not go well. I know the Yankees, fans, and fantasy managers love Spencer Jones. I saw him play a lot […] The post 2025 New York Yankees Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more

The Red Sox are set up.  They have hit on several young players and now have four Top 50 prospects in the game – Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, Kristian Campbell, and Kyle Teel.  All four are in Triple-A and can see Boston in 2025. The situation is reminiscent of the 2022 Orioles when Gunnar Henderson, […] The post 2025 Boston Red Sox Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more

When an organization drafts and develops a player like Bobby Witt Jr., it’s easy to overlook some of their mistakes—and the Royals have had many of them over the years. However, the Major League team is good. Besides Witt, other young players are contributing significantly: Makiel Garcia, Vinnie P., Kyle Isbel, and Cole Ragans, to […] The post 2025 Kansas City Royals Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more

It was bound to happen.  The Orioles’ outstanding minor league system has taken a hit.  Granted, much of the depth is now playing in the Major Leagues.  As the team has improved, they are picking in the back of the first round of late instead of the top.  Plus, they haven’t developed the pipeline from […] The post 2025 Baltimore Orioles Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more

The Washington Nationals’ system is strong.  They have strength at the top in positional players with Dylan Crews and Brady House and pitching with Travis Sykora and Jarlin Susana.  All four are considered elite talent.  It doesn’t stop there, as the depth is there with players who are close to helping in Washington and others […] The post 2025 Washington Nationals Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more

The Phillies system is better than I thought before I started researching.  Aidan Miller is an exciting player and might have an All-Star upside.  If Andrew Painter can return to form, he could pitch at the top of the rotation in a couple of years.  Remember, he hasn’t pitched in two seasons, so he needs […] The post 2025 Philadelphia Phillies Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more

I’m still trying to decide if I like the Mets’ system. They have a lot of famous prospects, some of whom are good and some of whom are overrated.  They don’t have that “guy.”  A player that could emerge as a significant impact player. Jett Williams has the best shot but spent most of 2024 […] The post 2025 New York Mets Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more

The Marlins remain an imbalanced team at the Major League level and in their farm system.  They struggled to develop positional players, but their pitching continues to be one of the best in the league. The top two prospects are pitchers Thomas White and Noble Meyer. While Meyer was taken ahead of White in the […] The post 2025 Miami Marlins Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more

Over the past few years, the Braves have focused their player acquisition strategy on pitchers.  It’s worked, as they’ve created a nice pipeline of pitchers moving quickly through the minor leagues and onto Atlanta. This strategy has come at the expense of positional players.  In short, they have few positional players that will help them […] The post 2025 Atlanta Braves Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more

The more I researched the Twins system, the more I liked it.  It’s strong at the top with Walker Jenkins, Emmanuel Rodriguez, Zebby Matthews, and Luke Keaschall with depth.  The depth is not just young players, but plenty of back-end starters and relievers can help the Major League club as soon as 2024. Jenkins has […] The post 2025 Minnesota Twins Top Prospects first appeared on ..read more
