So like, from 2006-2010 Team A was considered #1 for their Farm System by BA, with players #1 - 50 being in the mix. Players 1 - 50 actually panned out to have 1 All Star, 3 Above Average, 4 Average and the rest either didn't make it or sucked. They'd get XX points for their farm system over that time frame. And compare that way. It would be far more useful to me than to what BA guesses they'll be.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think it would be interesting to look at, but I don't know how much it would help in predicting success going forward. By the time you're able to evaluate some of the prospects of these teams, there's probably a decent amount of turnover in the front office or the minor league development staff. Still, it would be fun to look at that stuff.
