Rate My Farm

I've been doing my own shadow draft for a while now. I started in 2001 with just the first round and then up to 3 rounds in 2002, and since 2003, I've been doing full drafts. I draft for my Royals.

I've produced Casey Kotchman, Alex Gordon, Dustin Pedroia, Kurt Suzuki, Jonathan Sanchez, Josh Fields, Kevin Slowey, Scott Moore, Travis Metcalf, Tom Mastny, and Dennis Dove.

My best current prospects are Jeff Manship, Brett Anderson, JR Towles, Josh Vitters (provided he signs), Josh Bell, Billy Buckner, Brad Lincoln, Brian Dinkelman, Nevin Griffin, Kenny Maiques, Mark Hallberg, Mitch Maier, Danny Valencia, Stephen King, Nick Papasan, and Ryan Goleski.

Mike Aubrey has been my biggest bust followed by Matt Campbell, though others such as Thomas Pauly haven't turned out well.

So how does my farm system stack up in the minds of impartial observers? How about my current prospects, since I have graduated a few of my top guys this season?

I seem to have a guft in finding third basemen with power and minor league relievers. I haven't had the same skill in finding outfielders.
