Baseball Prospectus: Reds 10th best system in baseball

This actually came out Tuesday, but with Valentines Day and an ice storm I was pretty busy with stuff and didn't have a ton of time to check everything. Anyways, here is what they had to say

A once moribund system suddenly has a potential ace in Homer Bailey and a potential impact outfielder in Jay Bruce. Joey Votto is pretty good in his own right, but the talent falls off in cliff-like fashion in short order.

They rank the Reds hitting as the 9th best in baseball and the Reds pitching as the 16th best in baseball. I think they are short changing the pitching myself, as I think the Reds have better pitching than hitting in the minors right now. Anyways, to check out their entire ranking system, click here to go to baseballprospectus.com.
