Regular Disclaimer: his is for entertainment purposes only. I'm not a scout. These prospect rankings are aggregated and averaged using 11 Dynasty Prospect Rankings. Then I use an algorithm that ranks the system, with a lot of weight being given to the top of the lists for each team.
#30 - Miami Marlins
Consensus Top 100: 0
Top 5: D; Top 10: D; Depth: D
Top 10
Despite the lack of a top 100 prospect, I do like this system. The past FYPD draft was a strong one for them, especially given where they were picking. Lombard has a lot of upside and plays a premium position. And in Floyd and Sproat, there are two college arms with some nice potential. Zyhir Hope is a lottery pick, but he's in a great organization, and has a ton of potential, even if he has zero floor.
#29 - Texas Rangers
Consensus Top 100: 0
Top 5: D; Top 10: D+; Depth: C
Top 10
Again, some nice upside despite the lack of a top 100 prospect. I know when I was doing some draft prospecting this year, I was sad to see Lalane unavailable. He's got a lot of potential and may be a bit underrated as it currently stands. Harris may be up to provide modest power and speed somewhere around midseason. Gipson-Long is an interesting 1st rounder, as the upside isn't necessarily huge, but he can provide very-near help for a team looking to compete. Yophery Rodriguez may be the second-most intriguing name on this list to me, after Lalane.
#28 - Boston Red Sox
Consensus Top 100: 2
Top 5: D+; Top 10: D+; Depth: D
Top 10
Seeing a team with two top 100 prospects is a bit of a shock down here, but there is a steep dropoff in this system after those two. And Schanuel is an interesting case in himself - he is almost certainly ranked as high as he is due to being in the majors already. But will he hit for enough power for that to even matter? Or is he merely going to be an empty batting average? In Sandlin and Baz, there are two interesting pitchers near the top of this list - depending on how he returns from injury, Baz's value could skyrocket, as he did have ace stuff. Sandlin isn't in the same category, but could see a rise up the rankings this year as well. Slotting in at #11, but bearing mention, is James McArthur, who already looks like a potential closer for the Royals.
#27 - Atlanta Braves
Consensus Top 100: 0
Top 5: D+; Top 10: C-; Depth: C+
Top 10
Atlanta, despite lacking top 100 prospects, is much deeper than the Red Sox before them. And I know there's a question right off the bat - out of the draft that just occurred, the Braves' 3rd rounder is their highest ranking? That's right - although only 16 spots on the overall list separate Rice and Horvath. Besides, I've definitely heard at least one writer who thinks Horvath is criminally underranked. Rice is close to the majors and put up a hell of a stat line last year. There's some questions on how real that line is, and whether Rice is a starter or a bench piece, especially on the Yankees, but dynasty rankers tend to give him the benefit of the doubt. Personally, I'm a big fan of Gino Groover as well. The Braves did quite well for themselves in the draft, especially given where they were picking.
#26 - Chicago White Sox
Consensus Top 100: 1
Top 5: C-; Top 10: C-; Depth: C-
Top 10
In a pitching heavy draft from the White Sox, they managed to pick up a few really nice options. Lowder is the gem, as the 1st rounder ought to be, and has potential ace upside. But Fitts is a potential #4/#3 who can help sooner than the other options, and Martin showed a wealth of upside as a converted infielder who the Dodgers plucked and transitioned to pitching. Tai Peete was also a solid pickup in the infield. Celesten is the wild card - reports say he looked phenomenal in instructs, but he got injured and never managed to make his way into a game last season. He could easily become a top-25 prospect by the end of the season, if he can back up the scouting reports.
#25 - San Diego Padres
Consensus Top 100: 1
Top 5: C; Top 10: C; Depth: D
Top 10
Horton is a potential ace here, just a stud. Despite Amy actually drafting Schanuel ahead of Taylor (back when she was briefly the Boston GM), I think she ended up with the better CI in the long run here in Taylor. Sure, he doesn't have the immediacy of Schanuel, but he has a ton of upside, and I trust the Rays to get the most out of their prospects. I can't say the same of the Angels. Matthews was a decent autopick as the Padres GM position was in the process of finding its way back to its rightful holder. Tidwell is a nice upside play, as well.
#24 - San Francisco Giants
Consensus Top 100: 3
Top 5: C; Top 10: C-; Depth: D
Top 10
Montes, Martinez and Meyer are a really nice way to start out this farm system, and if the depth was there, would rank higher, but this is another team where after that nice start, the depth quickly falls. That being said, there is talent to be found in this system after the big three, but the talent there comes with some major question marks. Rocker, on talent alone, would rank higher than he does here, but Tommy John has his value depressed until he shows he can come back from it. Mitchell, an autodrafted 1st, undeniably has some very interesting traits in his scouting report. The biggest issue is that he's a high school catcher, and that is the most notoriously risky prospect category you can draft.
#23 - Baltimore Orioles
Consensus Top 100: 2
Top 5: C; Top 10: C; Depth: C-
Top 10
Mason Miller is a nice way to start this list, but the question with him is starter or reliever? The good news is that if he is a reliever, he's as close to a lock to be a closer as there is. But obviously, his value will be even higher if he can keep starting. Jung Hoo Lee gives immediate help to the OF room. Emil Morales is a nice bet as a J15 guy in the Dodgers' organization. It seems every single year the Dodgers pump out a new international stud. The Orioles are hoping Morales is this year's version.
#22 - Kansas City Royals
Consensus Top 100: 1
Top 5: C; Top 10: C+; Depth: B+
Top 10
Mac has used his minors to bolster his major league roster recently, but that's dropped him down the rankings this year. That being said, Victor Scott is an option to be up early in the year and provide a good source of steals, and Acuna is a solid secondary prospect. This was a solid draft for the Royals, picking up two prospects who tumbled a bit for whatever reasons, in Aidan Miller and Walker Martin. Adding two high-potential bats at a premium position like MI was a great grab for Mac and the Royals.
#21 - Houston Astros
Consensus Top 100: 1
Top 5: C+; Top 10: C; Depth: D
Top 10
Jett Williams gives the Astros a top 25 prospect, and while there is a gap between him and the rest, there's still some nice options here. Eldridge obviously would have had more value if he was going to be a two way player, but he's got nice value at CI as it stands. If Crawford can add even average power and stop hitting the ball into the dirt, he'd rocket up lists, but could be a good source of steals as is. Duno, Knoth, Balcazar, Clemmey and Yovanny Rodriguez give high-risk high-upside plays that can make or break a system in a year.
#20 - Tampa Bay Rays
Consensus Top 100: 1
Top 5: C; Top 10: C+; Depth: B+
Top 10
Brooks Lee is a great prospect at a premium position for the Rays, solid #1 here. Jacob Wilson was the Rays 1st rounder, and dynasty prospect rankings definitely suppress his value a bit - as he may very likely be a better real life prospect than dynasty, but he's nearly a lock to contribute at the MLB level, as soon as this year, perhaps. Other than the former Rockies here (Rodriguez, Brito, and Flores), my favorite prospect of the top 10 is Jefferson Rojas at #9. If he stays on the trajectory he's on, he's an easy top 100 prospect a year from now.
#19 - Oakland Athletics
Consensus Top 100: 3
Top 5: C+; Top 10: C; Depth: D+
Top 10
Three strong bats highlight this system in Mead, Wilken and Saggese. The draft was a strong one for Oakland, picking up Wilken, Carrigg, and Keaschall, three very interesting bats. An underrepresented part of this system on prospect lists is the potential for two 2024 closers here - as Berroa and Woo Suk Go both have a half-decent shot of collecting saves this year.
#18 - Toronto Blue Jays
Consensus Top 100: 2
Top 5: C+; Top 10: C+; Depth: C
Top 10
Chase DeLauter made a ton of noise last season, and gives the Blue Jays a potential stud in the OF. Quero grows on me every time I do research on the Brewers system, and is one of the top catching prospects in the minors. Veen may no longer be a top 100 prospect, but he still has the talent that everyone saw in him. It's just a matter of the Rockies helping him to unlock it. Speaking of Rockies, Calaz is one of my biggest 2024 sleepers, and I'd likely have taken him over Ramon Ramirez in the 3rd if I needed more OF prospects. Porter and Morales give a lot of potential in this middle of this top ten.
#17 - Cincinnati Reds
Consensus Top 100: 2
Top 5: C+; Top 10: B-; Depth: B+
Top 10
There's a good amount of depth here, but Smith-Shawver, and Alcantara give some upside at the top as well. Both could be up for good as soon as this year. Same goes for Austin Wells in the Yankees' system. Vargas is a nice sleeper in the Rangers system, as well.
#16 - St. Louis Cardinals
Consensus Top 100: 3
Top 5: B-; Top 10: C; Depth: D
Top 10
Two top 50 prospects head this organization in Montgomery and Gilbert. Imanaga is a one-and-done guy for these lists, as he's an older signing from Japan and should graduate well before midseason. The prior draft is well represented on this top ten, as Imanaga (not draft, but still same class, basically) through Hurley make up a solid middle here. I do like Hurley a lot as an underrated 5-tool prospect. After Bradfield, who is in a great system to maximize his skill set and provide steals, the system does take a precipitous drop in depth, though.
#15 - Milwaukee Brewers
Consensus Top 100: 3
Top 5: C+; Top 10: C+; Depth: C-
Top 10
Snelling and Schultz give a really strong 1-2 punch who could end up headlining the Brewers rotation in a few years. Joey Oritz already won an MLB spot, and while the upside isn't superstar-level, he should provide a decent all-around statline. I'm a fan of what the Brewers did in the draft, nabbing the best offensive catcher in the draft in Teel, a solid MI option with upside in McGonigle, and a sleeper pitching prospect in Aguiar.
#14 - New York Yankees
Consensus Top 100: 4
Top 5: B-; Top 10: C+; Depth: D+
Top 10
Noble Meyer looks the part of a stud, and in the Marlins system, I wouldn't bet against him. Pereira, Fernandez, and Jung give the Yankees a collection of strong bats in the upper minors. If I had to bet on one bat in this system to be a star, though, it would be Joendry Vargas, who falls just short of giving the Yankees a 5th top 100 prospect. He's in a great system to maximize his talent, and boy does he have a lot of talent and potential.
#13 - Washington Nationals
Consensus Top 100: 3
Top 5: B; Top 10: B; Depth: B-
Top 10
Tiedemann has loads of stuff, but when looking at him, I was surprised at how few innings he's pitched in his career thus far. If he can stay a starter, he's got easy ace potential. Even if he's a reliever in the end, he's a surefire closer. Basallo looks like he potentially has one of the most potent bats in the minors. Even if he ends up at CI rather than C, his power makes him a prospect worthy of his status just outside the top 25. River Ryan is in the Dodgers organization, already a plus, and those analysts that like him REALLY like him. This system has a good collection of high-upside, high-risk depth mixed with some surer options.
#12 - Seattle Mariners
Consensus Top 100: 5
Top 5: B; Top 10: B; Depth: B-
Top 10
Colt Keith got paid this offseason and provides the Mariners with immediate help at CI. Waldrep has ace potential and is in maybe the best system for developing arms, so a great grab in the first round there. Hampton was one of the breakout prospect arms of 2023, and Norby and Ramos have nice potential as prospects at premium positions who can easily contribute as soon as this year. The system does drop off after that, though. That isn't to say that the system is bereft of talent after that. In fact, I'm big fans of recent PB draftees Josue Briceno and Jeremy Rodriguez.
#11 - Los Angeles Dodgers
Consensus Top 100: 3
Top 5: B; Top 10: B+; Depth: B
Top 15
In Jordan Lawlar, the Dodgers have a top 10 prospect who just oozes talent. With Cowser having a ton of talent as well, and in the Orioles system, that's a potent 1-2 combo. I like Chandler, and he's a solid pitching prospect, even if I don't trust the Pirates development system. Cam Collier had a bad draft+1 season, but he has the tools to turn things around. While I may quibble with where some of them were picked, I do like the players the Dodgers picked in this year's draft. Thomas White has loads of arm talent and is in a great system to maximize it, I like Pratt a good deal, and have shares of him in other leagues, Corniell, Bigbie and Hurtado give a good mix of upside and floor. Hurtado, especially, is one of my favorite under-the-radar J15 prospects.
#10 - Minnesota Twins
Consensus Top 100: 3
Top 5: B+; Top 10: B-; Depth: D
Top 15
Not a particularly deep system, but they have three of the top 40 prospects. In most drafts, Shaw would've been an easy top 3 FYPD pick, but this draft was especially deep, and to get him at #7 is a great grab for the Twins - the aggregated rankings have him as #20 overall. With Baby Bonds himself and Misiorowski, it's a potentially great trio atop the rankings. Things fall off after that, but there's still upside to be found in this system, with guys like Parada joining the safer, higher-floor options like Whisenhunt, Marsee and potential closer Jordan Leasure.
#9 - Arizona Diamondbacks
Consensus Top 100: 3
Top 5: B+; Top 10: A-; Depth: A+
Top 15
Before I get to the rest of the list, it's a shame about Daniel Espino. He would've ranked #7 in the system prior to his latest injury. I've taken him off this list for right now, because shoulder injuries can be scary, and almost all the rankings I have were prior to this latest surgery. Anyway, nice to see Wyatt Langford's cameo appearance on these lists, as he's clearly one and done and the odds-on favorite to be AL Rookie of the Year. While I like Yamamoto, I know Ethan was unexpectedly thrilled to see Langford available at #2. The very top of this list may not be as deep as some of the lists that come after, but this is a team with 19 of the top 300 prospects, and one of the deeper overall systems.
#8 - New York Mets
Consensus Top 100: 4
Top 5: A-; Top 10: B; Depth: D
Top 10
Speaking of Yamamoto... Look, while I wouldn't have passed up Langford for him, I can't deny that he's a possible ace fromstart #1 ... I mean start #2. Painter continues to be ranked highly despite almost certainly missing all of 2024. As a Phillies fan in real life, I certainly hope he can start to live up to his ace potential post-surgery next year. House and Young give potential high-upside infield plays. After Yamamoto, the Mets took extreme risk-reward selections with their next two picks - Santana and Joseph. While I like both players, J15 prospects are so unpredictable. Both undeniably have a ton of upside, though.
#7 - Los Angeles Angels
Consensus Top 100: 4
Top 5: A-; Top 10: B; Depth: B-
Top 15
Jasson Dominguez and Paul Skenes are a hell of a 1-2 combination. Both have star potential at their respective positions, and could anchor a staff or a lineup for the Angels in the future. After the top four, the system sharply drops off, but Harrison gives them another potential ace, and Carlos Jorge provides upside at the MI spot. There's a good number of high-upside bets on this list too - like Houck, Green and Gelof. Mervis was much higher last year, but a down year and a failed first attempt to seize an MLB job have pushed him down, but he's one of the safer bets with a decent floor here, along with guys like Romo and Graceffo.
#6 - Chicago Cubs
Consensus Top 100: 4
Top 5: A-; Top 10: A-; Depth: A-
Top 15
Chicago has fallen a bit in the past year in these rankings, but they pushed some of their trade chips to the center in order to expediate their competitive window. And still they managed to pick up someone like Dylan Crews in this year's draft. Crews and Manzardo are likely 2024 contributors, and the way the Padres have pushed Salas, who knows with him? (Only half-joking). While the Cubs go 32 prospects deep, the strength of that depth is not nearly the level it has been in the past. I'm a fan of recent draftee Blake Wolters.
#5 - Pittsburgh Pirates
Consensus Top 100: 7
Top 5: A-; Top 10: A+; Depth: A-
Top 15
Jackson Chourio will forever be my one that got away after Pittsburgh snagged him away from me post-draft a couple years ago. He should challenge for NL RoY. Kjerstad has overcome past injuries and looks ready to provide a good source of power this year. Walcott is only getting started and could be the Pirates' next top-10 overall prospect. Colt Emerson is one of my favorite 2023 draftees, and his hype has exploded this offseason. Xavier Isaac could be a great source of power as well, and rounds out Pittsburgh's fifth top-50 prospect. Beyond their top 15, the Pirates also have high-upside high-risk options in Wolkow, Jang, Mueth, and Wyatt.
#4 - Detroit Tigers
Consensus Top 100: 4
Top 5: A; Top 10: A; Depth: A-
Top 15
Jackson Holliday, the #1 overall prospect and potential AL RoY resides here. He'd be starting in the majors likely if he played for anyone but Baltimore. Again, we see the strength of the past draft at play, as Detroit managed to land the #12 overall prospect in Walker Jenkins at the fifth pick. Jackson Jobe has some of the filthiest stuff in the minors, and Druw Jones still has all the talent in the world, he just has to put it together. Despite not appearing in the top 100, Triantos, Bleis and Davis are all solid bats as well. Dana and Mayea are excellent sleepers who could rise up rankings next years. And I love the selections of Winokur and Kendall George, as both have tons of talent.
#3 - Philadelphia Phillies
Consensus Top 100: 11
Top 5: A; Top 10: A+; Depth: A+
Top 15
Another AL RoY contender enters the fray in Caminero, who has the potential to be the HR champ sometime in his career. Starting to sound like a broken record talking about the top of the past draft, as Clark, selected #6 in the draft, is the 28th overall consensus prospect. Truly, just a loaded draft. Johnson and Jones offer even more power potential. Is there a PB team whose prospects have been more in demand in the MLB this year? Thorpe, Busch, Gabriel Gonzalez and Jonny DeLuca all were traded in the offseason, and some of them multiple times. Arjun Nimmala was another extremely solid draft pick with tons of talent for the Phillies.
#2 - Cleveland Guardians
Consensus Top 100: 9
Top 5: A+; Top 10: A+; Depth: A+
Top 15
Evan Carter played a big part in the Rangers' World Series run last year, and it will be fun to see how his rookie season goes now. Power and speed make him another RoY candidate. Wood and Merrill are also top 20 prospects, and give the Guardians an especially strong base of hitters to either build upon or use as trade bait. De Vries may be one of the best J15 prospects we've seen in years, and while a risky pick, could turn out to be a great selection for the Guardians. The system is a little light on high-end pitchers for as strong as this system is otherwise, but Abel has a lot of potential, and Raya is a decent second option.
#1 - Colorado Rockies
Consensus Top 100: 12
Top 5: A+; Top 10: A+; Depth: A+
Top 15
I'll start with my critique of my system - like Cleveland's before it, it's light on pitching. It's also probably a bit too OF heavy. Marte's suspension hurts my fantasy team, but I still have faith. A number of these guys (Marte, Mayo, PCA, Black, Rafaela, Loperfido) are likely to graduate off this list this year. Depth is a huge strength here, as 21 prospects here alnd among the top 185 overall.
#30 - Miami Marlins

But Fitts is a potential #4/#3 who can help sooner than the other options, and Martin showed a wealth of upside as a converted infielder who the Dodgers plucked and transitioned to pitching.

Horton is a potential ace here, just a stud.

Sure, he doesn't have the immediacy of Schanuel, but he has a ton of upside, and I trust the Rays to get the most out of their prospects. I can't say the same of the Angels. Matthews was a decent autopick as the Padres GM position was in the process of finding its way back to its rightful holder. Tidwell is a nice upside play, as well.

Montes, Martinez and Meyer are a really nice way to start out this farm system, and if the depth was there, would rank higher, but this is another team where after that nice start, the depth quickly falls. That being said, there is talent to be found in this system after the big three, but the talent there comes with some major question marks. Rocker, on talent alone, would rank higher than he does here, but Tommy John has his value depressed until he shows he can come back from it. Mitchell, an autodrafted 1st, undeniably has some very interesting traits in his scouting report. The biggest issue is that he's a high school catcher, and that is the most notoriously risky prospect category you can draft.

Mason Miller is a nice way to start this list, but the question with him is starter or reliever? The good news is that if he is a reliever, he's as close to a lock to be a closer as there is. But obviously, his value will be even higher if he can keep starting. Jung Hoo Lee gives immediate help to the OF room. Emil Morales is a nice bet as a J15 guy in the Dodgers' organization. It seems every single year the Dodgers pump out a new international stud. The Orioles are hoping Morales is this year's version.

Mac has used his minors to bolster his major league roster recently, but that's dropped him down the rankings this year. That being said, Victor Scott is an option to be up early in the year and provide a good source of steals, and Acuna is a solid secondary prospect. This was a solid draft for the Royals, picking up two prospects who tumbled a bit for whatever reasons, in Aidan Miller and Walker Martin. Adding two high-potential bats at a premium position like MI was a great grab for Mac and the Royals.

Jett Williams gives the Astros a top 25 prospect, and while there is a gap between him and the rest, there's still some nice options here. Eldridge obviously would have had more value if he was going to be a two way player, but he's got nice value at CI as it stands. If Crawford can add even average power and stop hitting the ball into the dirt, he'd rocket up lists, but could be a good source of steals as is. Duno, Knoth, Balcazar, Clemmey and Yovanny Rodriguez give high-risk high-upside plays that can make or break a system in a year.

| 10 | Emerson Hancock | RHP | SEA |
Brooks Lee is a great prospect at a premium position for the Rays, solid #1 here. Jacob Wilson was the Rays 1st rounder, and dynasty prospect rankings definitely suppress his value a bit - as he may very likely be a better real life prospect than dynasty, but he's nearly a lock to contribute at the MLB level, as soon as this year, perhaps. Other than the former Rockies here (Rodriguez, Brito, and Flores), my favorite prospect of the top 10 is Jefferson Rojas at #9. If he stays on the trajectory he's on, he's an easy top 100 prospect a year from now.

Three strong bats highlight this system in Mead, Wilken and Saggese. The draft was a strong one for Oakland, picking up Wilken, Carrigg, and Keaschall, three very interesting bats. An underrepresented part of this system on prospect lists is the potential for two 2024 closers here - as Berroa and Woo Suk Go both have a half-decent shot of collecting saves this year.

Chase DeLauter made a ton of noise last season, and gives the Blue Jays a potential stud in the OF. Quero grows on me every time I do research on the Brewers system, and is one of the top catching prospects in the minors. Veen may no longer be a top 100 prospect, but he still has the talent that everyone saw in him. It's just a matter of the Rockies helping him to unlock it. Speaking of Rockies, Calaz is one of my biggest 2024 sleepers, and I'd likely have taken him over Ramon Ramirez in the 3rd if I needed more OF prospects. Porter and Morales give a lot of potential in this middle of this top ten.

There's a good amount of depth here, but Smith-Shawver, and Alcantara give some upside at the top as well. Both could be up for good as soon as this year. Same goes for Austin Wells in the Yankees' system. Vargas is a nice sleeper in the Rangers system, as well.

Two top 50 prospects head this organization in Montgomery and Gilbert. Imanaga is a one-and-done guy for these lists, as he's an older signing from Japan and should graduate well before midseason. The prior draft is well represented on this top ten, as Imanaga (not draft, but still same class, basically) through Hurley make up a solid middle here. I do like Hurley a lot as an underrated 5-tool prospect. After Bradfield, who is in a great system to maximize his skill set and provide steals, the system does take a precipitous drop in depth, though.

Snelling and Schultz give a really strong 1-2 punch who could end up headlining the Brewers rotation in a few years. Joey Oritz already won an MLB spot, and while the upside isn't superstar-level, he should provide a decent all-around statline. I'm a fan of what the Brewers did in the draft, nabbing the best offensive catcher in the draft in Teel, a solid MI option with upside in McGonigle, and a sleeper pitching prospect in Aguiar.

Noble Meyer looks the part of a stud, and in the Marlins system, I wouldn't bet against him. Pereira, Fernandez, and Jung give the Yankees a collection of strong bats in the upper minors. If I had to bet on one bat in this system to be a star, though, it would be Joendry Vargas, who falls just short of giving the Yankees a 5th top 100 prospect. He's in a great system to maximize his talent, and boy does he have a lot of talent and potential.

Tiedemann has loads of stuff, but when looking at him, I was surprised at how few innings he's pitched in his career thus far. If he can stay a starter, he's got easy ace potential. Even if he's a reliever in the end, he's a surefire closer. Basallo looks like he potentially has one of the most potent bats in the minors. Even if he ends up at CI rather than C, his power makes him a prospect worthy of his status just outside the top 25. River Ryan is in the Dodgers organization, already a plus, and those analysts that like him REALLY like him. This system has a good collection of high-upside, high-risk depth mixed with some surer options.

Colt Keith got paid this offseason and provides the Mariners with immediate help at CI. Waldrep has ace potential and is in maybe the best system for developing arms, so a great grab in the first round there. Hampton was one of the breakout prospect arms of 2023, and Norby and Ramos have nice potential as prospects at premium positions who can easily contribute as soon as this year. The system does drop off after that, though. That isn't to say that the system is bereft of talent after that. In fact, I'm big fans of recent PB draftees Josue Briceno and Jeremy Rodriguez.

In Jordan Lawlar, the Dodgers have a top 10 prospect who just oozes talent. With Cowser having a ton of talent as well, and in the Orioles system, that's a potent 1-2 combo. I like Chandler, and he's a solid pitching prospect, even if I don't trust the Pirates development system. Cam Collier had a bad draft+1 season, but he has the tools to turn things around. While I may quibble with where some of them were picked, I do like the players the Dodgers picked in this year's draft. Thomas White has loads of arm talent and is in a great system to maximize it, I like Pratt a good deal, and have shares of him in other leagues, Corniell, Bigbie and Hurtado give a good mix of upside and floor. Hurtado, especially, is one of my favorite under-the-radar J15 prospects.

Not a particularly deep system, but they have three of the top 40 prospects. In most drafts, Shaw would've been an easy top 3 FYPD pick, but this draft was especially deep, and to get him at #7 is a great grab for the Twins - the aggregated rankings have him as #20 overall. With Baby Bonds himself and Misiorowski, it's a potentially great trio atop the rankings. Things fall off after that, but there's still upside to be found in this system, with guys like Parada joining the safer, higher-floor options like Whisenhunt, Marsee and potential closer Jordan Leasure.

Before I get to the rest of the list, it's a shame about Daniel Espino. He would've ranked #7 in the system prior to his latest injury. I've taken him off this list for right now, because shoulder injuries can be scary, and almost all the rankings I have were prior to this latest surgery. Anyway, nice to see Wyatt Langford's cameo appearance on these lists, as he's clearly one and done and the odds-on favorite to be AL Rookie of the Year. While I like Yamamoto, I know Ethan was unexpectedly thrilled to see Langford available at #2. The very top of this list may not be as deep as some of the lists that come after, but this is a team with 19 of the top 300 prospects, and one of the deeper overall systems.

Jasson Dominguez and Paul Skenes are a hell of a 1-2 combination. Both have star potential at their respective positions, and could anchor a staff or a lineup for the Angels in the future. After the top four, the system sharply drops off, but Harrison gives them another potential ace, and Carlos Jorge provides upside at the MI spot. There's a good number of high-upside bets on this list too - like Houck, Green and Gelof. Mervis was much higher last year, but a down year and a failed first attempt to seize an MLB job have pushed him down, but he's one of the safer bets with a decent floor here, along with guys like Romo and Graceffo.

Chicago has fallen a bit in the past year in these rankings, but they pushed some of their trade chips to the center in order to expediate their competitive window. And still they managed to pick up someone like Dylan Crews in this year's draft. Crews and Manzardo are likely 2024 contributors, and the way the Padres have pushed Salas, who knows with him? (Only half-joking). While the Cubs go 32 prospects deep, the strength of that depth is not nearly the level it has been in the past. I'm a fan of recent draftee Blake Wolters.

Jackson Chourio will forever be my one that got away after Pittsburgh snagged him away from me post-draft a couple years ago. He should challenge for NL RoY. Kjerstad has overcome past injuries and looks ready to provide a good source of power this year. Walcott is only getting started and could be the Pirates' next top-10 overall prospect. Colt Emerson is one of my favorite 2023 draftees, and his hype has exploded this offseason. Xavier Isaac could be a great source of power as well, and rounds out Pittsburgh's fifth top-50 prospect. Beyond their top 15, the Pirates also have high-upside high-risk options in Wolkow, Jang, Mueth, and Wyatt.

Jackson Holliday, the #1 overall prospect and potential AL RoY resides here. He'd be starting in the majors likely if he played for anyone but Baltimore. Again, we see the strength of the past draft at play, as Detroit managed to land the #12 overall prospect in Walker Jenkins at the fifth pick. Jackson Jobe has some of the filthiest stuff in the minors, and Druw Jones still has all the talent in the world, he just has to put it together. Despite not appearing in the top 100, Triantos, Bleis and Davis are all solid bats as well. Dana and Mayea are excellent sleepers who could rise up rankings next years. And I love the selections of Winokur and Kendall George, as both have tons of talent.

Another AL RoY contender enters the fray in Caminero, who has the potential to be the HR champ sometime in his career. Starting to sound like a broken record talking about the top of the past draft, as Clark, selected #6 in the draft, is the 28th overall consensus prospect. Truly, just a loaded draft. Johnson and Jones offer even more power potential. Is there a PB team whose prospects have been more in demand in the MLB this year? Thorpe, Busch, Gabriel Gonzalez and Jonny DeLuca all were traded in the offseason, and some of them multiple times.

Evan Carter played a big part in the Rangers' World Series run last year, and it will be fun to see how his rookie season goes now. Power and speed make him another RoY candidate. Wood and Merrill are also top 20 prospects, and give the Guardians an especially strong base of hitters to either build upon or use as trade bait. De Vries may be one of the best J15 prospects we've seen in years, and while a risky pick, could turn out to be a great selection for the Guardians. The system is a little light on high-end pitchers for as strong as this system is otherwise, but Abel has a lot of potential, and Raya is a decent second option.

I'll start with my critique of my system - like Cleveland's before it, it's light on pitching. It's also probably a bit too OF heavy. Marte's suspension hurts my fantasy team, but I still have faith. A number of these guys (Marte, Mayo, PCA, Black, Rafaela, Loperfido) are likely to graduate off this list this year. Depth is a huge strength here, as 21 prospects here alnd among the top 185 overall.
