Like before, any questions on the process, please read my post reviewing the NL West before asking them.
The “100 Characters” concept was fun, but I’m going to try a different angle this time around and give reviews that are a bit more robust in the “Break down” section.
And of course, questions, comments, concerns and complaints can all be left at the bottom.

Your Mom:
HM: None
LT: Taylor Hearn, Endoli Paredes, Kevin Ginkel, Luken Baker, Yohendrick Pinango, Jorge Ona, Oscar Gonzalez, Niko Hulsizer, Brock Burke
DC: Kevin Smith, Jean Carlos Mejia, Josh Fuentes, Phil Bickford, Chris Gittens, Kyle Body, Jayson Schroeder, Michael Grove
S: Austin Listi, Resly Linares
Break down:
J Rod and Shane Mac are solid guys to have on your farm system, but beyond that Your Mom’s farm gets bland very quickly. Baez, Davidson and Tsutsu are the next tier of guys, but more like safe MLB regulars than studs. From 6 to 16 you have your basic farm system fodder, 50/50 guys who might make it to the majors, of which a few might be solid CPL bench pieces or second tier starters. Of the remaining Lottery tickets, your long shots with less than a 50/50 shot at making it to the MLB, Noah Song and Phil Bickford stand out as long shots with high ceilings.
Your Mom’s top 25 could reasonably produce 13 MLB players, 5 of which could be impact players. The rest of his farm could reasonably produce 7-8 MLB players with another 2 impact players.
Baby Seals:
HM: None
LT: Matt Tabor, Blaine Knight
DC: Jake Burger, Jake McCarthy, Mike Shawaryn, Anderson Espinoza
S: Alex Scherff, Julian Merryweather
Break down:
The best top 25 farm in the AL West by a substantial margin. A very talented and solid top 10, highlighted by Adley and including guys I think highly of in Abrams and Acosta. 11 through 13 represent a small, but distinct 2nd tier of guys who have a greater than 50/50 chance at being impact players. Baby Seals’ farm fodder are found in his 14-21 range, and the remaining 4 slots are filled in with lottery tickets, highlighted by Gavin Sheets, Jake Burger and Anderson Espinoza. Solid farm, well done Fred.
Baby Seals’ top 25 could reasonably produce 14 MLB players, 8 of which could be impact players.
The rest of his farm, being relatively shallow, could produce 3 MLB players, with a chance at 1 impact player.

BROB’s Barnacles:
HM: None
LT: None
DC: None
S: Bret Boswell, Pedro Martinez Jr., Troy Stokes Jr., Domingo Acevedo
Break down:
Kieboom and Keller are solid guys to have on your farm system, but beyond that BROB Barnacles’ farm gets extremely bland very quickly. Gordon, Rooker, Lee and Jameson are the next tier of guys, but would be classified as merely “Farm Fodder”. From 7 to 16 you have your lottery tickets, of which one or two might be solid bench pieces or second tier starters highlighted by Conine and Lazaro. The remainder are all depth org and scrub prospects. Guys of note include, Isabel, Cron, Packard and P Mart jr.
BROB’s Barnacles top 25 could reasonably produce 11 MLB players, 3 of which could be impact players.
The rest of his farm, also being shallow may produce an MLB player, who might be an impact guy.
Scared Hitless:
HM: None
LT: Brayan Altuve, Tristin English, Dauri Lorenzo, Yanquiel Fernandez, Emmanuel Rodriguez, Vladimir Gutierrez
DC: Evan Steele, Joseph Naranjo, Ricardo Sanchez
S: Chris Shaw, Jose Castillo, Luis Gutierrez
Break down:
Kirk, Gonsolin, Williamson and Hiraldo highlight Scared Hitless’ farm. None of these guys are blue chippers, but all of them have a higher than 50/50 shot at being solid regulars. Scared Hitless’ farm fodder occupy his 5-18 slots, highlighted by Stowers, Lara and Kelly. The last 7 spots are occupied by lottery tickets highlighted by Martin, Clarke and Howlett, Gutierrez and the intriguing although likely ultimately fruitless, Tristin English. Chris Shaw is a deep guy who’s worth remembering as well, despite his omission from the BA book in 2020.
Scared Hitless top 25 could reasonably produce 13 MLB players, 6 of which could be impact players.
The rest of the farm could produce 4 MLB players, including 1 impact player.
