Keith Law is rolling out his top 20 prospects for systems around the league, and this time it was the Oakland Athletics’s turn in the spotlight. Law did not rank a single Oakland prospect in his top 100 and ranked Oakland as baseball’s worst farm system, so we came into this one blind and with low expectations, and boy did Law deliver on both counts.
Keith Law certainly has his own opinions on things, and is not afraid to deviate significantly from the norm in certain rankings. Deviate he did here, seeing Max Muncy as the system’s top prospect.
