Kevin Goldstein ranks the Mariners' farm system right in the middle of the pack at #16 in his organizational rankings (subscriber only). This is tastily higher than the Ms were rated by Seattle Mariners trades America (24), which is greatest conceivable a reflection of the high value Goldstein places on young player with high ceilings. BP Rated pleasant much all of the top international signings higher than anyone else this year, including placing Carlos Triunfel at #7 on the Mariners list (#11 BA).
