How many teams do you think are able to push out as many prospects as the Cubs have in the last 6 or 7 years? Certainly there are teams that have done better, but there are quite a few that have done much worse. Especially if you include the fact that the Cubs almost NEVER dump high salaried guys for impact prospects. Yes, the Marlins have developed quite a few more prospects than the Cubs, but a vast majority of them have come from other teams in dump trades.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So... some teams are better and some teams are worse. Isn't that the definition of serviceable? Our farm system is a C, it's average which I would call serviceable.
