    If you look up "MLB Top Prospects" in the MLB.com videos, they already have a video for Bukauskas. I assume that would mean he is in the top 100. Those videos do look like they are in order though lol

    Seems like that was on point (Tucker is 17). Don't know if I might have missed him, but I haven't seen Alvarez. Bukauskas was 74 (or maybe 76)

    A little surprised that Alvarez didn't make the top 100 but I have to think with a solid first half and graduated prospects he'll be on the midseason top 100. Love seeing Whitley as a top 10 guy. This curve of his looks nasty...

    Top farm system in 2014 wins World Series in 2017. Coincidence? I think not.

    Good prospects don't always help the poor and stupid. 7 of the next 8 made the playoffs last year, though. 2015 top team was the Cubs. So while not 100% correlation, a good farm usually means good things for the future provided not stupid or poor.

    So according to BA the Astros are the only team to have a top 10 system for six straight years. Second most are the Dodgers at four straight years. There ya go.

    Only team with two top ten prospects. Man.

    2017 28th rd pick IF Richard Slenker was released. 33 players from the 2017 draft still in the system. I would expect 5-6 more will be release prior to opening day.

    Remaining in system by year:

    Pre-2009: 0
    2009: 1
    2010: 0
    2011: 1
    2012: 4
    2013: 4
    2014: 13
    2015: 14
    2016: 21
    2017: 33
