J notes:
This is significantly higher than the Ms were rated by Baseball America (24), which is most likely a reflection of the high value Goldstein places on young players with high ceilings. BP Rated pretty much all of the top international signings higher than anyone else this year, including placing Carlos Triunfel at #7 on the Mariners list (#11 BA).Continued development from last year's draft class, a breakout or two from one of the 8-10 high upside international youngsters at the low levels, and a solid 2007 amateur draft and we're looking at a potential top 10 system next year. As exciting as prospect junkie-ing is, however, the goal of the system is to produce major leaguers, not to have multiple representatives on BA's top-100.
And there is this tease:
Even so, it's shaping up to be a very exciting year in the Mariners system. If both Triunfel and Martinez start the year in Wisconsin, the Timber Rattlers might just be the minor leagues' #1 all-upside team.
