The system based on that is in a rough shape. Before the team became competitive, 50 Future Value players — those projected as average MLB regulars — would run through the top 20s. Now, the system has one on Longenhagen’s list. Despite that, the trade off is having a competitive team, which I believe most fans will take.
Longenhagen does leave the door open for some promising projections of the prospects on the list. There are a bevy of young players, especially the teenage prospects that have been secured on the international free agent market in the last few years. As those players continue to get professional experience and fill out their bodies, future breakout performances and moves up the list and in FV are very possible. Only time will tell with this list of prospects.
