Rays. Plus they can add David Price this summer. It's too bad they're in the toughest division in baseball.
Look at that 2008 rotation:
Kazmir
Price
Niemann
McGee
Davis
Obvioiusly they won't all pan out, but no one can touch that.
Most overrated system: Angels.

Most of Colorado/Zona's talent has graduated to the majors...
As far as actual MINOR league talent, I really like the Angels system... I think Erick Aybar will be a stud.

The Angels system sucks (obvious hyperbole). They have a lot of depth in the middle infield with Aybar and Rodrigeuiz but the only two guys I really like are Wood (who loses a bit of value moving to third) and Adenhart. They have a decent system but I like Colorado and Arizona's talent better, not just top end talent but depth as well. mahalo

When it comes to pitching, the Yankees rank first. So much pitching depth... But the only real major hitting prospects we have are Tabata and Duncan.
2010 Yankees Rotation
Phil Hughes
Dellin Betances
Chien Ming Wang
Joba Chamberlain
Tyler Clippard/Ian Kennedy/Humberto Sanchez (two of the three can be used as trade pieces)

To quote Ghostface Killah: Liar liar, pants on fire/You're burnin up like David Koresh
The Yanks have some interesting depth and Hughes is probably the best pitching prospect in the minors but there are teams with better depth. Hughes is good, I think Wang is overrated (I think he's going to get hurt if he doesn't raise his strikeout rate). Betances is nice but unproven, I worry about Joba the Hut's weight and injury history. Clippard is always going to be an Eckstein type player, scrapping to make it. Kennedy is interesting but I'd like to see what he does in the minors. And Sanchez is probably going to end up in the pen. While I personally like the upside of the Red Sox depth, I'd be lying if I said that the Sox had better pitching depth than the Yankees. The Sox might have more upside but a lot of their pitchers are unproven out of the Joba/Betances mold. mahalo

My thoughts too. AZ till now, now maybe TB.
AZ still has some great hitters down there in Hankerd, Pena, Gonzalez (projected to be a lefty Beltran with more power), and Upton. Not bad for a farm system, amny of whose elite prospects are now all in the majors (Quenitn, Drew, Jackson, Young, Montero, Callaspo, Owings)
