Funny, it's been bad for about 25 of the past 30 years. Yet it seems to have little bearing on overall team performance. Screw farm systems. Who needs them?

I'd rather have a warm hat on than a good farm system.

That is kinda funny. I keep hearing every couple of years since 1990 about the Cubs farm system and this can't miss prospect or that. ALso, how the Sox system is bare. I think the Sox record has been pretty fair.

For a historically barren farm system, they do bring a fair amount of major league talent through it.

Not to mention that bigfan is reporting he's fixed Gordon Beckham.

The Sox bring up their top draft picks early like Sale and Beckham or trade them for key pieces. They've been a solid team by and large for a long time.

It's a 'Specific Intangible Improvement" going from "31" to 28....not many have!

The Montreal Expos had such a great farm system that it still ranks 30th from beyond the grave.

The only problem is that Gordon Beckham is awful at baseball.

Kid had a great second half when they brought him up...then the coaches got a hold of him/.
