2017 Angels prospect rankings: Full list and vote reveal!

Here’s what we’ve gone over thus far: Introduction | Notables | 21-25 | 16-20 | 11-15 | 6-10 | 1-5.

Over the past month or so, we at Halos Heaven have been putting together our prospect rankings and analysis, both to create a resource that others can use and to better understand the players that are in the farm system. Now that we have finished, it’s time for us writers to take a step back and pat ourselves on the back for what we’ve assembled. And with that small note, take a look at the full list of our prospect rankings.

Pay careful attention to the prospects themselves but also the point differentials between them, as this tells you what we collectively make of a certain player. Keep in mind that 350 is the maximum amount of points a prospect can garner, based on the number and quality of votes he received.

One small wrinkle here: Josh accidentally voted for Brandon Marsh twice, but by the time the error was caught we had already published numerous articles in the series already. We decided to keep everything as is, and we simply omitted those points. To our knowledge, all other votes are accurate.

Again, a 1st-5th place vote is 50-45-40-35-30 points, 6th-10th is 28-26-24-22-20 points, and 11th-25th place is 15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 points.

Not to brag on behalf of my fellow writers, but the similarities of the top 10s to that of other major publications (Baseball America, ESPN’s Keith Law, John Sickels of Minor League Ball) have been pretty striking but we’ll keep this conversation towards our voting.

Overall, the Angels system is still a bottom-5 one in the league. However, the influx of multiple high-ceiling prospects along with players that took steps forward this year make this system an intriguing one, with sleepers abound. The Angels have all of their draft picks (including a top 10 this June), the ability to get back into the international talent pool, new leadership in player development, and a new scouting director. Due to a lack of impact talent, the Angels aren’t in great standing at this very moment but there is hope on the horizon and the days of “worst farm system ever” are firmly in the rearview mirror. Eppler is building a house out of paper clips but it’s going to take time and patience before it all comes together. But he definitely has a plan, and the improved depth shows that.

As for our voting, did we get the players on the list right? Are there any egregious voting mistakes or spot-on voting successes? Which is your favorite ballot or what would your top 10 or top 25 look like? Let us know in the comments below.
