    Is Gohara really that far behind Allard as a prospect? I find that hard to believe...

    Why is Albies power rated a 30? Seems a bit low for a 20 year old who has .150 plus ISO at AAA

    All of these rankings have not fully caught up to what Gohara has been doing.

    Keith Law, who's substantially better than pipeline, has. I bet Eric at Fangraphs will
    Too

    I don't think they've update any of the tools just the rankings.

    Gohara is our best pitching prospect not named Soroka and maybe Wright.

    More than the White Sox's better system.

    http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2017?list=prospects
    White Sox have

    1. Moncada (#1 2B)
    7. Eloy (#2 OF)
    12. Kopech (#1 RHP)
    26. Robert (#7 OF)
    45. Rutherford
    60. Lopez
    61. Giolito
    69. Cease

    Plus 9 more FV 50 guys.

    The Braves have an additional 5 more FV 50 guys.

    Both teams Top 30 consists of guys at least FV 45.

    To compare:

    Top 10: Sox win 2-1
    Top 25: Sox win 3-2
    Top 50: Braves win 6-5
    Top 100: Braves win 9-8
    Additional FV 50: Sox win 9 to 5

    I find it hard to support the notion that the Braves have the Sox beat either in star power (Top 10 or 25 guys), or depth (FV 50 guys) based on these rankings.

    In star power no but Moncada has been awful since coming up and someone like Giolito is hanging on by reputation. Lopez hasnt had a good year either.

    You realize we can say the same thing about several Braves prospects too, right?

    I mean sure you can but most people still view the Braves system as better.

    I dont see why you act like it's a reach lol.

    So how does that affect the Sox star power? They still have more Top 10 and Top 25 than the Braves.

    How does it affect their depth? Are you suggesting those guys have been so badly they are no longer FV 50 guys? Enough to close the 4 player gap?

    If the Sox have more star power, and they have more depth...how is it an argument?

    The top 10 can be debated either way.

    Braves 11-30 is alot better than the Sox which is what gives them the edge.

    11-30 vs top 10, best way to judge a system is by it's depth not best 6-9 players.

    But the Sox have more FV 50+ in their Top 30.

    Have you looked at the new lists?

    However good the White Sox system is, it doesn't take away from how good the Braves is in anyway.

    I don't understand why fans get insecure with this stuff.
