I think it is wise to knock Lamb off the list for now
If/when he starts pitching again and looks fine, then he can jump back up high on the list.

Only 5?
Of 100? We’re clearly NOT the #1 farm system anymore.
"Sir,--It has been wittily remarked that there are three kinds of falsehood: the first is a 'fib,' the second is a downright lie, and the third and most aggravated is statistics." *The National Observer* (June 13, 1891): p. 93-94.
5 is a pretty respectable number considering all the graduations.
It’ll be interesting to see where Monty comes in on the BA list since the rumor is he’s still their #1

Agree.
We graduated Hosmer, Moose, Gio, Perez. We are still tied for the #4 system if you count number of players.
Oakland, San Diego, and Toronto each have seven players on the list.
Kansas City, Boston, New York Yankees, Pittsburg all have five players.
"Yeah, the maple kind, right?"
Plus Lamb would of been on there for sure.
I would probably say we still have the best top 10. At least i would challenge anyone elses. We do lack some depth with all the graduations but still impressive none the less.
Surprised by this list
George Springer and Sonny Gray ahead of Starling and Rendon? I don’t know what they’ve done since the draft to prove wrong what seemed like unanimous preferences for the latter two.
I could see Gray above them but not Springer ahead of Rendon that seems off to me.

Doesn't he project as a reliver though?
That was the CW before the draft.

It is my personal belief that no prospect should ever appear in these rankings until they have played one full season.
Monty is just a tweak or two away from being a MLB starting pitcher..and a solid chance at being a pretty damn good one at that. Starling is nothing but a question mark (though clearly with upside). I don’t understand how they are so close in the rankings. There are SO many things that could happen with Starling before he reaches AAA, while Monty has already cleared most of the obstacles and is close to a sure thing to being a starting pitcher in the bigs. That’s just how I look at it though.
Killing time until time kills me
I look at it that way as well
split those “vets” and “rooks”.
Seriously though, they need to be ranked without the new guys.
He really fell apart during the end of the year, didn't he?
Like a 7-8 week long huge slump if I remember correctly. Probably from being worn down and that’s fine, but I can understand his spot. I’m sure if he has a good season next year he’ll skyrocket up the list, as a lot of people seem to like his tools.
Killing time until time kills me
He had a leg/back injury
last 28 games fell apart.

Matt Moore is baseballs top prospect. He'll be #1 in BA I'd bet

Ches-Lor sounds like a He-Man character
(Pardon me, “Masters Of The Universe” character)
Wun-Dar, He-Ro, Tytus, Gwildor, Rotar, Clamp Champ, Randor, Sy-Klone, Stridor, Fisto, Orko, Ram Man, Zodac, Stratos, Teela, and Ches-Lor — to name a few.
(actually creating this list from the Wikipedia page was one of the nerdiest things I’ve ever done)
Kila's slash for Apr 20 to May 4, 2011, right before he was sent down: .276 / .344 / .448

Something of note
Wil Myers is the 3rd best OF on the list only behind Mike Trout and Bryce Harper. Behind him is Hicks, Choice, Springs, Martin, ect.
