This does not take into account the Mets - Twins trade, since it isn't official

Astros -------------------- QUOTE Mike (New York): I think the modern-day statistical analysis is a great way to look at performance, and I welcome the new stats like OBP+, etc. But I wish you and most of the other sabremetricians would realize you often come off like brillaint engineers who don't understand why people don't buy their products even though theirs are better than the competition's. (IN other words, try not to sneer at the people who don't yet get your ideas and points of view) Klaw: I don't sneer at people who don't get my ideas or POVs. I sneer at people who don't think there's value in them. Anyone who has ever asked me in any forum to explain why more modern methods of evaluating performance are worthwhile, or simply how they work, has received an explanation without condescension. Everyone has to start somewhere. If you run around in your underwear with drool on your chin and "RBIs ROOLZ!" written in marker on your torso, yes, I'm going to call you an idiot.   |

Amazing the Yankees cracked the top 5 since they start with a "Y" and not an "R"

Whats interesting is that this was released last Friday, and the A's are that low after all those trades. I am not sure this is official now that I think about it

Sounds about right... I'm curious about their top 100 prospects. ESPN's seems about right.
-------------------- It's just two men sharing the night. It might seem wrong, but it's just right. It's just two men sharing each other. It's just two men like lovin' brothers. One on top, and one on bottom. One inside, and one is out. One is screaming he's so happy and the other's screaming a passionate shout. It's the Night Man. The feeling so wrong and right man, the feeling so wrong and right man. I can't fight you man when you come inside me and pin me down with your strong hands and I become the Night... the passionate, passionate Night Man.

The A's are way too low there.
Rangers are a bit high, they have some extremely scary kids but they're ALL very raw. I would take the Reds over the Red Sox.... though i guess i could see the reasoning (Reds are better uptop but Red Sox probably better overall.) --------------------  |

"San Francisco is a bit of a fetish of mine, as they have almost no talent in full-season ball, but I loved their draft this year, and I’ll roll the dice on a power bat like Villalona."

Its a pretty good feeling having a top 5 farm system that doesn't even include Hughes.
