While the major league team has sucked, the minor league system has been much better than expected, imo. Lots of guys taking the next step. Bryan Ramos has looked amazing while being young for his age. Yolbert simply won't stop hitting and walking. Mena is an interesting young pitching prospect. Wes Kath and Colson Montgomery have shown flashes of their potential. Oscar Colas looks like he may be the real deal too. 

All in all, the minor league system looks better than the worst minor league system, which is where people had ranked it.

Seemingly great news from down on the farm every night.  The Knights offense sure looks better than the big club right now.

He's only 19.  Outstanding.  Time to break out my Cannonballers cap again.

No nod for simas kid? 

I never really understand the overall importance of a teams farm ranking. Top 30 rankings for an individual team? Who cares? 

give me a farm system sprinkled with 3-4 players making a big push each year and I’ll show you a system that’s productive. Couple that with a GM that know what free agents to fill in with and you have a competitive team every year possibly really breaking out.

Fulfilling that last sentence seems to be something of an issue recently...but see SFG/Rays/Brewers/Indians.

Yea I expect hahn and Williams to be gone in a few years. Then put a gm in place that really knows what he’s doing

Years.

Is there a chance the system will have a couple back end top 100 ranked guys in the midseason updates? Seems like it right?

I think Ramos is likely a shoe in. He was already a fast riser and is dominating. Assuming he doesn't tail off too hard, I wouldn't be shocked to see him move closer to top 50 than back end top 100
