Also...
Not the biggest fan of MLB.com Pipeline, but just for reference on how deep the Indians farm is (or how bad Baltimore's is?). Santander was our #30 on their site...he's Baltimore's #15.
Some people said our farm system took a hit with the trade last year and I am not sure if we really did, now it would have if we gotten lucroy, but since we kept Meija and Allen, I think we easily replaced Frazier in the system. Both Yandy Diaz and Greg Allen I think are underrated prospects, while a guy like Mike Papi is overrated (He has to start hitting for better average in the minor my opinion) We also have a lot of young guys/guys at A levels in our "top 30" as well. It will be a few years before we really know what we have down there, but at there is a fair amount of hope at least since a lot of our recent draft picks/international signings have been doing fairly well in proving themselves at their respective levels.
