They have what, 5-6 B- or better?

Pretty weak system overall.

Who would you put in that group?

I’m by no means a prospect expert so I’m interested in hearing as many different opinions as I can. I do like what I’ve heard/seen from Yelich, Ozuna, Jensen, Realmuto, and Hope. I’m looking forward to getting a better look at Jose Fernandez and Charlie Lowell.

Or, imagine, being able to be magically whisked away to... Delaware. Hi. I'm in Delaware.

My opinion

Marcell Ozuna, Christian Yelich, Jorge Fernandez, Matt Dominguez, JP Realmuto & Chad James probably. I agree with the original post though; that’d be about it for me before it drops off.

Jorge

Fernandez = Jose right?

Thanks, yeah

Ha, not sure where ‘Jorge’ came from (maybe that Jorge Lopez the Brewers took later on in that draft sort of seeped in?).

Eh

I don’t blame you man. I just finished law school finals and I can barely think. My brain is mush.

Yep

Although Conley could sneak in as a B-, depending on how one feels about his ability to stay healthy and out of the bullpen.

by cookiedabookie on Dec 14, 2025 5:19 PM EST up reply actions

This might be

the worst system of 2012…definitely a bottom 5 for me.

Brewers

is gonna be pretty fugly. White Sox was going to be, but then they added Molina. But ya, this one is pretty bad. Reminds me of the Pirates 3 years ago.

Well they could go crazy in the draft, lose future 1st rounders if they think they will be high picks

by cookiedabookie on Dec 14, 2025 6:50 PM EST up reply actions

1 ) Yelich
2) Fernandez

hand

Too many innings for Hand. Not a rookie.

by John Sickels on Dec 14, 2025 4:39 PM EST up reply actions

i sort of like Yelich

by JoelGuzman'sScout on Dec 15, 2025 12:42 AM EST up reply actions

Other names to consider

Olmos, Hand (is he not eligible?), Bryan Berglund, Josh Hodges, Daniel Oliver, Ramon Dell Orbe, Zachary Neal, Robert Morey, Rhett Varner

by bucklin12 on Dec 14, 2025 4:42 PM EST reply actions

I looked at all those guys and rejected them for one reason or another.

by John Sickels on Dec 14, 2025 4:44 PM EST up reply actions

Understandable

Del Orbe, Oliver, Olmos (even with the rough year) intrigue me the most

by bucklin12 on Dec 14, 2025 5:53 PM EST up reply actions

Rhett Varner

now there’s a good baseball name… guy has to be a player.

by ThnkGoodnessforHowieRose on Dec 14, 2025 4:46 PM EST up reply actions

Are there any big bonus international signees?

Maybe they could be added? I can’t think of any. Can we preemptively add Cepedes or Soler? I’m running out of ideas here.
It’s too bad, because they do have some nice pieces at top (Yelich, Ozuna, Fernandez are my top three, but Dominguez is not far behind)

by cookiedabookie on Dec 14, 2025 5:24 PM EST reply actions

Big

fan of Yelich.

No Gorski?

Surprised there is no Darin Gorski on your list. He wasn’t highly considered going into 2011, but hecertainly had a fine season and demonsrated he has value going forward. Seems to belong somewhere on the list.

gorski is on the mets

Yeah, bad system...

but I think Detroit’s is worse. Definitely if they trade Turner.

Well, if you’re looking to add a player, the best I can find are Beau Jones, who is in their system now, and Jose Alvarez. Jones was fairly highly regarded when he was w the Rangers, Had a pretty good year in a hitters’ league and is lefty but is 25 y/o. Alvarez is undersized but also a lefty and y/o and age-appropriate. Both have decent K rates, altho not great. Jones is a reliever; Alvarez is still a starter, but may have trouble remaining one.

Ny personal top 10

1- Christian Yelich
2- Marcell Ozuna
3- Jose Fernandez
4- Matt Dominguez
5- JT Realmuto
6- Chad James
7- Noah Perio
8-Rob Rasmussen
9- Adam Conley
10- Kyle Jensen

Really like Yelich, Ozuna and Realmuto quite a bit. I thnk all 3 will develop nice and are very good athletes. Noah Perio is also intriguing if he continues to improve. Like Fernandez stuff a lot but James stuff took a step back last season. Hope for a turn around. Austin Brice and Mason Hope got nice arms and can be break out prospects this year. Meanwhile, Lowell, Conley and Rasmussen are solid back end starters or bullpen arms. Definitely not he stronges the system has been in recent years but they still have some pieces on the farm.

Ozuna

intrigues me. Interested in watching him at higher levels. See how he adjusts to tougher competition.

Me too

Ozuna had a marked adjustment period in his first full season outside of short season play, but he was one of the most dangerous hitters on the circuit by summer’s end. Yelich is safer & a little younger, but I think Ozuna has more raw upshot despite being less polished as of now. I feel Marcell is the more gifted athlete with much more power and he’s definitely got the plus (albeit sort of inaccurate) arm in the field. We’ll see how he does in Jupiter & it will be cool to see Yelich & Realmuto likely be promoted similary from the regining SAL champions.
