The 2009 rankings are out today and Dominic Brown, a 21 year old former Miami football recruit, tops the list. This is a ...

Baseball America’s Top NL East Farm Systems
Nationals Farm Authority —
I just got done listening to Baseball America’s latest podcast discussing the merits of the farm systems in the NL East (you can listen here ).

Raining on the Phillies Victory Parade Is Easy, Fun
Walkoff Walk —
... You know things have gotten desperate in Philadelphia when the general manager is refusing to let a washed-up Nomar Garciaparra hold a gun to his temple. But don't fret, Ruben, there's another, far cheaper option inside the organization. It's your fourth-best prospect, infielder Jason Donald! He's probably (read: definitely) a year away from being ready but hey, there's an economic crisis and everyone needs to do their part. We can't all get that year in finishing school, aka Triple-A Allentown. Giving ...
Is Reading’s Michael Taylor trade bait?
Sportin a Attitude —
... ranks Dominic Brown, No. 1 and Michael Taylor No. 6 on the Phillies top ten prospects . Mayberry, 25, who we acquired in a trade for Greg Golson, hit a three-run homer in his MLB debut versus the New York Yankees on May 23rd. Brown, 21, is batting (.299) with (12) doubles, (3) triples, nine (9) homers and (38) runs batted in. All three of these Phils’ prospects have been performing as expected, so I hate to so say it but one of them is expendable. Which one of these hot prospects is the question?

Indians Continue Tradition Of Trading Cy Young Pitchers

... . In fact, all four players sent to Cleveland are top prospects in the Phillies organization and not just throw-ins. Marson could be the Indians' future catcher if Victor Martinez leaves after 2010. Donald may play third if Andy Marte doesn't work out. Indians fans sure have to be disappointed that their inexplicably bad team is being apportioned, because many believed they could contend again next year with the same guys. I'd like to say they're getting promising players in return (and they are) but they've heard that before.
Cliff Lee, Ben Fransisco Dealt to the Phillies
Fantasy Fixation —
... Most fans will view this deal as an upgrade over Halladay because the Phillies did not trade Dominic Brown and/or Kyle Drabek, and they are getting a Cy Young winner. However, this may not be the case. Baseball America has Brown ranked as the Phillies top prospect, but Carrasco, Marson and Donald are all ranked 2-4. Drabek follows at number five, and Knapp rounds out the top ten. ...
