When did this become

rangersminorleaguepitchers.com? :)

In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, love.

Any other team dominate a top 20 list like this yet?

I know its just the lower levels, but kinda has shades of last years top 20’s when supposedly all of the Texas Prospect where at the lower levels.

Texas should have a group in the Midwest, Cal and Tex leagues and at least 2 in the PCL.

DEEEP System right now

I think

that I would take their system over anybody’s right now (including the A’s). Incredible amount of depth at the lower levels especially on the pitching side. It seems that they get deeper and deeper everytime I look. Guys like Holland and Perez have popped up over the course of the season and it seems that a lot of their guys just had good to great years. I think you could name 30 guys in that system that have a legit shot of being decent Major Leaguers. It’ll be interesting to see who gets left off the top 10’s and 20’s when the lists start coming out.
