SF Top Prospects
It’s a much better looking Giants farm system after one offseason, with most of the development coming internally. The top prospect, however, is the offseason International Amateur acquisition, Luis Burgos, who goes straight into the top 15 of prospects. There are four further top 100 prospects, albeit all ranked 85-99, and then three Top 200. That is quadruple the number of top 200 prospects while top 500 prospects has jumped from 9 to 20. Four of those players are offseason acquisitions starting in the big leagues this season, and are all the Rule 5 draft signings.
