This really surprised me, but the Indians farm team system is No. 5 in the league! Of course, many of the players brought up do not stay with the Indians in any form or fashion. So, as I have been saying since, um, I was a kid, the Indians serve the purpose of being the farm team to the MLB.
More of the story, including the rest of the Top 5 and the WORST 5 can be found here:
