The Cincinnati Reds farm system has been generally adored by prospect wonks so far this winter.
Each of Noelvi Marte, Rhett Lowder, Edwin Arroyo, Connor Phillips, and Chase Petty ranked among MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 overall prospects just weeks ago, for instance. And while MLB Pipeline seems to be highest on the team’s farm, which saw more than a half-dozen promotions from within just last year, each of Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America had at least three Reds on their respective Top 100 lists, too.
FanGraphs, though, appears to be less swayed. They released their own Top 100 list this morning, and only Marte (41) and Lowder (44) made the cut.
