organizational prospect rankings

Over the last couple of months, I've been digging through each MLB team's farm system to provide the top dynasty fantasy baseball prospects that should be on your radar. Today, we'll break down the top-25 Pittsburgh Pirates prospects.When it comes to developing prospects, the Pittsburgh Pirates are about as cautious as you can be. Rarely, if ever, do they hand out aggressive assignments or promote a prospect earlier than they would like to. You won't see any Juan Soto type of promotions from this front office, that's for…

If you slept through 2018, this Orioles top-25 might look a lot different to you. An absolutely disastrous 115-loss season for the parent club led to a full-fledged fire sale, trading off any Major League asset with both a pulse and any type of trade value. Gone are the likes of Manny Machado, Jonathan Schoop, and Zach Britton, but in return, Baltimore restocked their farm system a bit, including three of the top-10 Orioles prospects you'll see below acquired in the Machado deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.…

This Texas Rangers farm system is like a nice aged bottle of scotch. When you first see it you think "Sure, a glass of scotch sounds nice right now." You pour, casually sip on it for a while, maybe inhaling the aromas once or twice, and once you're done, the words, "Damn, that was good," come out of your mouth.

This was a system I was dreading since I started these top-25 rankings way back in the beginning of October. But now that I've picked apart this system and watched a ton more video, it's not quite as bad as I initially thought. It's not a good system by any stretch of the imagination, but there's some sneaky good offensive upside throughout this top-25. Several of the top-25 Giants prospects below were added via the 2017 Eduardo Nunez trade and 2018 Andrew McCutchen trade, and a few more potential impact bats were signed…

If you love offensive upside, you've come to the right place. This system has high-upside bats coming out the wazoo with a few of them on track to reach Cincinnati at some point during the 2019 season. One of them, Nick Senzel, likely wouldn't even be on this list anymore if a bout of Vertigo didn't limit his availability in 2018 and delay his Major League debut. He's just one of many high-upside Reds prospects in this system. In addition to a formidable elite tier below, Cincinnati has several up and coming prospects in the…
