Minor League Report: August 6-12, 2012

Lots of movement, postponements, and top prospects struggling, so tonight you will be brought a minor league depth chart of the top three players in the farm system at every position (and waiting for Mesa game to go final is boring). Major leaguers under the age of 27 will be shown as well, as to show who they must push out if they are to stay at that position. I rarely mention players who aren’t in our upper echelon of prospects, so this is a way or getting my opinion on where some lesser prospects stand in the organization as well.
