Farm System Records

How much do the records of an organizations farm teams mean? I don't know, but figured it would be interesting to see where each organization stands right now. The top 2 organizations (in terms of Farm-Team winning percentage), the Brewers and the Yankees were the only two teams to have all four of its currently playing farm clubs to have reords over .500. On the other side, the bottom three teams, the Mariners (last), Nationals (29th), and Royals (28th) were the only 3 teams to have all of it's affiliates with losing records. At least for the Mariners, their parent club is over .500, while the Nationals and Royals are in last place in their respective divisions. If Farm Club records are indicative of how the organization stands prospect-wise, you could see the Nationals and Royals maintaining their current positions for quite some time (at least they'll get a lot of top draft picks in the next few years).

As far as American League vs. National League, the difference was only a few games and could swap any day, so the leagues seem even under the top level.
