Over at Minor League Ball, John Sickels has finalized his top-20 prospect lists for each team for the year. He grades prospects with letter grades, A to C. I took his lists and created team rankings, giving 7 points for an A, 6 for an A-, 5 for an B+, etc. for each of a team's top-20 prospects to come up with team rankings. The results put the Twins in a 3-way tie for third, which pleases me. I believe Sickels also does system rankings, and I suspect uses his own system, but with that caveat, here are my results:
