The Cardinals have a solid farm system. It’s a been a few years since it’s been 
elite, but they steadily draft guys that are undervalued and use these guys to fill
out the roster. They also have a few blue chip prospects right now; depending on
the top 100 list, you will find 3-5 guys.

Each year, I track the rankings from multiple websites. I’m a little late this off-
season, but baseball hasn’t been important since the lock out has started. I’m not
saying I’m done with baseball, but I don’t like watching millionaires fight with
billionaires over money when it’s pricing the everyday fan out of the game (which
is a later post).

Here are the rankings from multiple sites, along with the averages, median, mode,
high/low, and total rankings. This gives a good idea of where each prospect should
fall. Each list title is abbreviated, but the full site name and a link to the list
on the second tab. The numbers are as follow: median is the middle number of all
rankings (typically close to the average); mode is the most frequent ranking; low
is the best ranking; high is the worst ranking; count is how many lists the player
appears on.

This will be updated as more lists become available.

Some notes on the rankings:

 * The Cardinal Nation has not completed their lists. They are writing up each player;
   most are behind the paywall, but I think every 5th one is free.
 * The past few years had [Nolan Gorman](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=gorman000nol&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-)
   as the consensus top prospect; this year he’s splitting the top spot with [Jordan Walker](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=walker000jor&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-).
 * 2021 draftees [Joshua Baez](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=baez--007jos&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-)
   and [Michael McGreevy](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=mcgree000mic&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-)
   are pretty well split between the lists; some are close to 5-6, while others 
   have them in the teens. This year will give a better idea of what the Cardinals
   have.
 * Most sites like [Juan Yepez](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=yepez-000jua&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-)
   after his 2021 breakout, so it was surprising to see MLB have him down at 26th.
   He’ll be a factor this season for the Cardinals.
 * Razzball had [Nick Plummer](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=plumme000nic&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-)
   in their top 10, which was released prior to him being passed over for a 40-man
   spot and becoming a minor league free agent. The Mets got a steal there.
 * My own list is in progress. I’ll add it here once it’s released.
