Baseball Prospectus released its farm rankings today.

Royals checked in at ...

Drumroll please ...

16th. That’s an impressive leap up from 28th or 29th last year.

I tend to like BP more than BA or MLB’s guys because those latter systems focus more on near-MLB talent as part of their rankings and less on upside (ie they more highly value a guy with a 4 starter upside who is close to MLB and has a higher floor compared to a guy with a lower floor but the ability to be a really good 2/3 at his best).

For Royals prospect thoughts, Clint Scoles is doing great stuff - for free - at Royals Academy.

I’m still trying to find time to do some highlights of the system. I’ll try to include some draft profiles if people are interested in that.
