Stephen Nesbitt and Keith take a closer look at the top and bottom of Keith's Farm System Rankings. What makes the Dodgers organization such a develpment machine? How have the Tigers managed to not improve their system in recent years? The Braves are depleted because of graduation and big trades. How long will they be down? Also, surprising systems (good and bad) and how the loss of shot-season leagues is impacting prospect development.

--Surprising system's good and bad (Rockies good, Red Sox bad)
--Loss of losing the short season leagues... It hurts international free agents who aren't ready for low-A ball at 19 years old.
