Yet their farm system is ranked as high as #2.  Whatever it is they have done, it seems to be working quite well!  

I'm not giving the Pohlads (who aren't involved in the day-to-day decision-making of the baseball operations and aren't making prospect trades or draft picks or hiring developmental staff) credit for the farm system. Unless someone can show that the Twins are substantially outspending other teams or have made other financial investments that are above and beyond other franchises, they receive no points and may god have mercy on their souls.

So, in other words, lets just ignore what is actually happening so that we can complain.

No, let's credit the people that deserve it: Falvey, the scouting department, the developmental staff, etc.

Not the cheap-ass ownership, who were part if keeping minor league salaries low and conditions absurd for decades. Still haven't seen anything to show that ownership deserves credit for the farm system; they presided on the decline of the farm system previously just as much as the current rise.
