Franchise over.

[tdawg87]

Not even close to accurate.

[Vlad27Trout27]

The best Left hand pitcher in the game in Detmers

One of the best overall Outfielder in Marsh 

A top of the Rotation Arm in Bachman

A young and high upside SS in Paris, who could have easily sneaked in the top 100

Good depth in the uppers minors. solid blend of talent in the lower levels!

 

 

 

Yet 24th?  

[OhtaniSan]

Preposterous. I would say that the Angels farm should AT LEAST be ranked 23rd.

[T.G.]

Cool. They’re not last!

[rafibomb]

Kyren Paris should and will be another top-100 prospect by the end of the season.

[tdawg87]

Realistically they're more like 16-18. But these rankings are pointless.

Actually I think MLB CrackPipe has them at 23.

Uh oh the Seattle Dipoto's are #2

They're close for the wrong reasons.  The system lacks depth on the position player side of things from A through AA.  But I doubt that's why they have us 24th.  Perception is a big part but mostly it's a ranking of who's got the best top 10.  Where one or two players can make a huge difference.  Who has the ten best players in A+ or above.  So poor seasons from Adams make a big difference for these guys.  

I'd love to see someone compile a ranking that includes pre-arb players or maybe even first or second year arb guys.  Or even potential value for guys being paid under 5m.  

The status of various clubs greatly impacts whether players remain 'prospects'.  An arbitrary designation makes it seem like some teams have fewer good young players than other teams.  The Angels actually have a lot of good young players versus a lot of teams in my opinion.
