Ranking	Team	# of Top 100 Prospects Per MLB.com	Comments
1.	Chicago Cubs	17	Had the luxury of starting with a great farm, and have continued the rebuilding phase, placing a whopping 17 prospects on MLB.com top 100.
2.	Minnesota Twins	9	They have an incredible top 3 headlined by Correa, Buxton, and Sano, probably the best trio in the league. Cubs v Twins World Series 2016?
3.	Seattle Mariners	9	Absolutely love the combo of Walker, Bradley, and Butler atop the rotation for the M’s. They also have potential stars in the OF with Dahl and Frazier.
4.	Washington Nationals	5	Another team loaded with frontline pitching in Sanchez, Gausman, Crick, and Stewart. Plenty of depth as well. Really good system. Props to Gareth for having a competent MLB team as well.
5.	San Diego Padres	4	They only placed 4 on the list, headlined by Hedges and Glasnow, but have great depth and a lot of teenage international free agent signings who could balloon into stars.
6.	Oakland A's	6	Only a matter of time before the A’s have 2 stars on the left side of the infield in Kris Bryant and Addison Russell. Another really good system, you could make a case to put them up with Washington, but they lack overall depth.
7.	Los Angeles Dodgers	7	They still own the Dodger mainstays in Urias, Seager, Lee, and Pederson. And also own about 115 other prospects……
8.	Houston Astros	6	Great core in Springer, Zimmer, and Meyer. Maybe the best 2B depth in the league with Odor, Deshields, and Eddie Rosario.
9.	St. Louis Cardinals	2	Plenty of that great Cardinal depth still exists. Taveras and Piscotty placed in the top 100. They get a nice boost from Carlos Martinez, who is on the MLB squad.
10.	New York Mets	5	An underrated system. Lindor, Soler, and D’Arnaud is a solid trio of offensive talent. If Trevor Bauer ever rebounds, this system could move up pretty high, they have solid depth too.
11.	Chicago White Sox	2	Two solid arms in Sims and Johnson, and they have some serious talent in Brinson, Mazara, and Guzman who have incredible amounts potential.
12.	Texas Rangers	4	They had a better system at one point, but can’t blame them for dealing some of it off to help with a championship run. Still solid, but lacking depth with Giolito, Singleton, Alfaro, and Gallo.
13.	Miami Marlins	4	Pretty much the same Miami farm system since league creation, plus a few draft selections. Solidly above average.
14.	Detroit Tigers	4	They landed 4 guys in the 43-75 range on the list, and have solid depth pieces in Wilson, Travis, Ranaudo, and Lindsey among others.
15.	Philadelphia Phillies	3	They have 64 prospects, so a solid amount of depth, though a lot are non-prospects. Odorizzi, Cole and Kelly are good arms, and Schoop just missed the list.
16.	Colorado Rockies	1	They probably had a top 10 system when Rich took them over. (They had Dahl, Frazier, and Butler) – They dismantled that talent for literally no value in return. Rossell Herrera was the lone prospect to land on the list, but Kyle Parker can do some damage in Coors, and all hope isn’t lost yet for Trevor Story.
17.	Tampa Bay Rays	2	Gregory Polanco is a budding star. Guerrieri is suspended and went under the knife. Not a ton to mention after these two. Some decent IFA guys have some potential.
18.	Cincinnati Reds	1	Robert Stephenson is nice. Corcino fell off a cliff. They have some young talented arms in Heredia, Garrett, Binford, and Nolin. They don’t have any depth however, which hurt them.
19.	Boston Red Sox	3	What? Boston isn’t last? How? They only have 8 prospects!!! Say hello to Xander, Hamilton, and JBJ on the MLB roster, which saved them from 29th or 30th on the list.
20.	Toronto Blue Jays	2	No depth. They have some athletic OF’s, and Castellanos, Moran, and Clarkin. They just missed out on Salazar counting, but he pitched 52 Innings last season.
21.	Cleveland Indians	1	Roberto Osuna. AL Cy Young 2019, right, Citos? Maybe Olt does something this year?
22.	Kansas City Royals	1	Dylan Bundy.
23.	Arizona D'Backs	0	Not much here, some depth. Paxton gives them a boost on the MLB side.
24.	Milwaukee Brewers	0	They’ll need improvement from Hellweg, Coulter, Roach, Jungmann, and Bradley to look respectable. Thornburg and Scooter’s graduation hurt them.
25.	Los Angeles Angels	2	Bum farm to start with. Wong and Lee up the middle is solid. Can Cowart rebound?
26.	Pittsburgh Pirates	1	Lacking depth. Not awful. They have decent guys in Norris, Stilson, and Hanson.
27.	San Francisco Giants	1	Zero depth. Two solid lefties in Skaggs and Escobar, not a lot more.
28.	New York Yankees	0	Yankees don’t need a farm. They just buy whatever major leaguers they want.
29.	Baltimore Orioles	0	Dismantled….
30.	Atlanta Braves	0
