A winning minor league system seems to be a good thing to me. There has to be some talent on the field, the coaches are doing a good job, and the plan(s) in place are working well. Prospects learning to win together and play in playoff games are important. This also helps the teams brand and the teams relationship with it's affiliates. How much of all of this translates to the majors? I'm not sure. It's beneficial for sure. How much of this indicates future talent? Again I don't know. Much like prospect rankings, metrics, and just about everything else in baseball, nothing is absolute.
