MLB: Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros Sit Atop Baseball America’s Farm System Rankings

ESPN Insider Keith Law released his farm system rankings earlier this week. Baseball America, widely regarded as the best source for such information, released its organization talent rankings yesterday. Where does your favorite MLB team rank in terms of player development?

Here are Baseball America rankings with each team's 2015 rank in parentheses:

1. Los Angeles Dodgers (3)

2. Houston Astros (10)

3. Atlanta Braves (29)

4. Boston Red Sox (5)

5. Washington Nationals (12)

6. Colorado Rockies (8)

7. Texas Rangers (11)

8. Philadelphia Phillies (22)

9. Milwaukee Brewers (21)

10. Minnesota Twins (2)

11. Pittsburgh Pirates (7)

12. Cincinnati Reds (16)

13. Tampa Bay Rays (17)

14. St. Louis Cardinals (15)

15. New York Mets (4)

16. Cleveland Indians (23)

17. New York Yankees (18)

18. Oakland Athletics (19)

19. San Francisco Giants (26)

20. Chicago Cubs (1)

21. Kansas City Royals (13)

22. Arizona Diamondbacks (6)

23. Chicago white Sox (20)

24. Toronto Blue Jays (9)

25. San Diego Padres (14)

26. Detroit Tigers (30)

27. Baltimore Orioles (28)

28. Seattle Mariners (24)

29. Miami Marlins (25)

30. Los Angeles Angels (27)

Conversely, Law ranked the Braves No. 1 and the Dodgers No. 2, while the Astros were all the way at No. 17 on his list. He also had the Washington Nationals down 10 spots at No. 15. Whatever the case, it's clear both sides agree the Dodgers and Braves possess the best farm systems in the MLB.

Los Angeles boasts top names such as Corey Seager, Julio Urias, Jose De Leon, Grant Holmes, Frankie Montas, Cody Bellinger, Yadier Alvarez and others whereas Atlanta recently stacked their system with top young players like Dansby Swanson, Aaron Blair, Hector Olivera, Kolby Allard, Ozzie Ablies, Touki Toussaint, Sean Newcomb, Tyrell Jenkins and more.

But perhaps the most dangerous team to look out for is the Boston Red Sox. Despite back-to-back disastrous campaigns, the Red Sox possess one of the most talented MLB rosters and farm systems in all of baseball.

Baseball America will release its Top 100 prospects rankings in the near future as well, so be sure to look out for that.
