PrintNow that the regular season's over, let's spark some discussion.
Weigh in with your votes on the following:
Best overall system
Worst overall system
Most improved system (from a year ago - include both breakouts and teams you think drafted well)
Most depleted system - which team took the biggest hit?
Best overall system including major leaguers 25 and under
Worst overall system including major leaguers 25 and under
I need to think a LOT before I can weigh in, but I thought it would be cool to get the community's input.

Best System- Rays
Worst System- Cardinals
Most Improved System- Indians
Most Depleted System- Braves
Best System including Major Leaguers 25 and Under- Rays
Worst System Including major leaguers 25 and under- Mets
hohohhohohoh its the offseason
Most Depleted, Braves?
With the emergence of Teheran and Delgado (plus the dominance of Heyward), I don’t think that’s accurate. Sure, they graduated Hanson, Medlen and Schafer, but that system is still VERY strong.
Worst system including major leaguers 25 and under- Mets?
Mejia, Niese, Martinez, Holt, Davis, Havens, Flores, etc.
Plus Thole, Parnell, and Pelfrey are in the bigs. And Reyes and Wright are both 26.

and you'd really give that to a team that is one season removed from 89 wins?
and who had more DL time than any other team, including stints for 3 of the best 20 position players in baseball and their ace?

Seriously, have you heard of the Royals?
or Pittsburgh? or Houston? or Washington?…

For Me
Best System: Rangers
Worst System: Tigers
Most Improved From Last Year: Nats (Strasburg, Norris, Espinosa, Storen and signs of life from Marrero)
Most Depleted: Jays
Best Under 25: Rays with the Rangers knocking on the door
Worst Under 25: ’Stros
I agree
They sleeping on the Nats farm system. And don’t forget to throw in Ian Desmond.
Be real with yourself.
my call
Best: Rangers
Worst: Cardinals
Most Improved: Nats
Most Depleted: Cardinals
Best under 25: Rangers
Worst under 25: Astros
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Best: Rangers
Worst: Cardinals
Improved: Indians
Depleted: Blue Jays (Close with Cardinals)
Best under 25: Rays
Worst under 25: Astros
And how are the Brewers depleted. They might be the best farm in their division.
I was talking...
just in terms of how much they lost this year. Gamel no longer a prospect, I’m treating Escobar as a non-prospect too (he’s 5 ABs shy of 130) and Salome took a pretty big step back this year. That’s 3 of their top guys from last year. I like the Brewers and don’t think they’re a bad system by any means, but their minor league corps is nowhere near what it was last year.
