Houston says Hello
Well if we are having a measuring contest then …. Houston has won 2 WS titles and 4 AL pennants in past 6 years. ALWest 5 times.
I am sure you remember that one, I mean it took what 20 years ?
Careful 7 you are venturing into waters that go well past the knee.
Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing. I said if you take those 6 out then Braves are EASILY in top 10.
It is ok to just admit, Hey I misread what you said….. but doubling down and calling someone an effin idiot, well that doesn’t exactly do you any favors. Borders on KB21 territory.
But it is ok, I forgive your transgression and lack of knowledge on this matter. But A+ on the fandom though.
I would agree with your edited response there, they were and are in top 10 but they ARE ranked per MiLB after those 6, which would in fact make them EASILY in top 10 after those 6 are removed.
Not that I agree with it BUT ranking farm systems is subjective, and there is one national org that actually has the Braves as dead last in their rankings, farm system wise.

The Brewers' farm system and current team are both middle of the pack, they're not doing anything overly impressive. The Rays have a fantastic FO, no one will question that. The Mets have a good farm system but have been up and down on the field, and they have ridiculous money too. The Yankees obviously have crazy money, their farm system is decent but not amazing and once Volpe is off lists, it will fall quite a bit. The Cardinals had a great 2020 draft and you're now seeing the results of that; they were below the Braves 2 years ago. That's how quickly it can change.
That is based on current players in the farm system, it's not an overall ranking of the organization. Everyone knows their current system is lacking in talent. Everyone also knows that you'd have a tough argument to state any organization has been better at graduating legit talent over the last 5 years than the Braves.
Also, look who is also at the bottom of that ranking - San Diego and Houston. Why? Because once you graduate tons of talent and build a competitive major league team, you deplete your farm system and start to make moves geared toward the major league roster.
When we are healthy we have 4 legit starters. My mistake
Speaking of farm, does anyone know what's up with Richie and Murphy? Pretty surprised they haven't pitched yet
