Quote:Not "arguably", its the truth. 

 

AA is the best because its filled with ascending stars and not cluttered with AAAA players and has beens. 

 

BaseballProspectus top prospects going into 2014 and their most recent minor league level:

 

1. Byron Buxton (A+)

2. Xander Bogaerts (AAA)

3. Oscar Taveras (AAA)

4. Javier Baez (AAA)

5. Carlos Correa (A+)

6. Francisco Lindor (AA)

7. Addison Russell (AA)

8. Taijuan Walker (AAA)

9. Archie Bradley (AAA)

10. Kevin Gausman (AAA)

11. Noah Syndergard (AAA)

12. Yordano Ventura (AAA)

13. Lucas Giolito (A)

 

 

Some other young players that you like that spent a good amount of time in AAA:

Gregory Polanco

Michael Wacha

Matt Harvey

 

 

 

I'm not saying which is better or which is worse because they are moot points. Most call-ups need to prove that they can perform well at the AAA level before they get called up. I don't know many prospects that made AA to MLB jumps for anything more than a "cup of coffee" or a spot start situation.
