I'm probably first chair in those who are on the pessimistic side of the farm system. There's no question we've graduated a bunch of guys in the past couple of seasons and that has weakened the system at the upper reaches, but it's more than a national perception. We just don't have a lot of quality guys above A right now. I think there are contributors and those are always helpful, but I just don't see a lot of "shake."
Only addition I would make is putting Elmer Reyes in somewhere between 25 and 30. Kid likely won't hit, but he can pick it and may project as a Ramiro Pena type.
As for Wren (and I'll admit I didn't like the pick but am not rooting for him to fail), he should be tearing it up in Rome. It's a lower level of competition than college D-1. We'll see how he proceeds. Again, he's probably a cog in the machine and it's always good to have solid cogs, but I doubt he's got much of a top end.
