Baseball seasons are long roller coaster rides with ups and downs intertwined. Outside critiques are seemingly frequently expressed regardless of the knowledge of those stating them.

Eleven organizations had three or more affiliates qualify for their respective league playoffs this season - the Phillies are one of those with three (AA, Low A, DSL) of their six clubs making the playoffs and a heavily “home grown” lineup at Reading now entering the Eastern League championship series. From my perspective it’s an inadequate gage to evaluate a system as a whole without acknowledging point in time progression. Here’s a position by position abbreviated look from
