Future Shock
2012 Organizational Rankings
by Kevin Goldstein
1. San Diego Padres
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: They might lack that one marquee name, but no system in baseball can boast of having as many players at the upper levels who project as average or better big leaguers.
2. Toronto Blue Jays
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: A ridiculous number of high-ceiling teenage arms to go with some elite up-the-middle talent.
3. St. Louis Cardinals
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: They've suddenly become a drafting and development beast, with plenty of help coming beginning in 2013.
4. Oakland Athletics
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: The rebuilding has begun with a greatly enriched farm system set up for a window that doesn't exist until MLB gets off their hands in terms of a potential move.
5. Kansas City Royals
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: Down a bit due mostly to big league promotions, but some rebounds from the lefties that disappointed in 2011 would be nice.
6. Texas Rangers
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: An impressive ranking considering the team has used their system to bolster the big league squad for the last two years. As always, the system is loaded with young, high-ceiling talent.
7. Seattle Mariners
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: Pitchers at the top made dealing Michael Pineda a little easier to swallow, and Jesus Montero will be the big league club's best hitter as a rookie.
8. Pittsburgh Pirates
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: While progress at the big league level has been slow, the system continues to provide optimism, especially in terms of pitching, the Pirates' biggest need.
9. Arizona Diamondbacks
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: It's hard to find a more talented collection of starting pitchers, but that is the overwhelming strength of the system, as offensive talent is woefully thin.
10. Atlanta Braves
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: Here for the pitching and shortstop, but things could be moving in the wrong direction in a couple of years, as the team is suddenly thin at the lower levels due to some ugly drafts.
11. Washington Nationals
Top 11 Prospects List
System At a Glance: A tribute to their strength as they still rank in the upper half even after the Gio Gonzalez deal. Still star-studded, but the depth is gone.
