Compared to the consensus in real life of being a bottom five system, the Angels start out as the No. 11 system.
Toronto at 10th doesn't seem right either.
Seattle and Detroit both seem heavily underrated in terms of farm system rankings at 14th and 15th. Miami too at 18th.
Jackson Jobe as the No. 218 prospect stands out in Detroit. Thayron Liranzo too.
Noble Meyer, Andrew Salas, Agustin Ramirez, and Head from Miami all could use a closer look.

The OOTP farm rankings are a lot more simplistic than the real life ones, it basically takes the top 5 or top 10 prospects per team that are in the top 100 (or maybe top 200, I forget exactly), counts their rankings up and then ranks the farms. So these will never really match real-life even when the prospects themselves are accurately rated. I would love it if we could update the rankings to something a little dynamic in the future.
For any prospect related analysis, you also want to make sure to turn off scouting (and then turn the prospect list to dynamic and regenerate it), as this can hugely change the rankings from what they 'really' are. What you're showing above re Jobe and the other guys above is because you have scouting on, looks like. With scouting turned off he's the 16th ranked prospect in baseball (even with the stamina typo). Liranzo is 74th.
