Ynoa is not there best prospect. Maybe rank doesn't matter, just the stars. I also don't agree that Carter is a 5.

Here is his explanation on Inoa:

Ranking Challenges: Ynoa might be a surprise in the top position, but it's hard to accurately convey just how positive scouts are about him. After the top five, it becomes a real challenge due to the system's remarkable depth. If you're looking for some real perspective: after the sixth through eleventh spots, as well as the three who "just missed," there are another four players who one could arguably rank as the second-best prospect in the entire Houston Astros' system.

I like Cahill above Anderson, but Inoa even sniffing Cahill or Anderson is completely a joke.

I'm getting really confused reading this thread. Is it "Inoa" or "Ynoa"? We have three of each :lol:

It was recently announced that he is going by Ynoa now. Not sure why....

Yay Ynoa. After the name change, I looked at his chrome auto and noticed he signed it Ynoa (I guess I haven't looked that closely at his auto before).

How is Inoa #1? Anderson is like top 10 guys in all of minors in BA, and Inoa hasn't even pitched on American soil yet...

The Riverlands.
5 out of 10 for A.C. sits well with me. Since most of the guys before him are pitchers, he is one of the best hitters in their system though. :D

that is the best looking farm system i have seen in a while. i think they should have beat out the rangers in the best farm system race.

Holland and Feliz are better than any of their guys IMO and Smoak is better than any of their hitters, plus I think the Marlins have a better system than the A's, plus the Rangers #9 guy (Borbon) would be a top 5 guy in probably 25-27 other organizations IMO.

Holland better than Cahill? That is a big stretch imo.
