It is a very different list-- a very young inexperienced list. Except for Middlebrooks and Lavarnway, none of the top 10 have played or are expected to play above A ball in 2012. A farm system should provide a source of depth for the big club in the event of injuries and under-performance. Our system is very deficient in this regard. The young guys on this list will shift position on the list or drop off in the next season or two-- that's how imprecise it is to evaluate young talent. In the end, unless about 5 of those guys progress to ML ready prospects in a couple of seasons, I think we'd have to conclude that Theo left the system in a bad place, because we have zero MLB ready talent right now.
