Also from the chat with Eric Longenhagen;

kcbg: Hi Eric!  As a long-suffering Mariners fan, this list and write-up gives me hope!  Are the M’s prospects thriving despite the poor player development or have there been development improvements under Dipoto?

Eric A Longenhagen: dev has gotten better, especially on the pitching side

it's very refreshing to hear that from a trusted voice outside the organization. McKay and Dipoto do their best to hype us up for the future (it's their job) but Eric knows his stuff and is well attuned to these things, and a moderate compliment like this goes a long way in my confidence

Nice to see, but I'm sure the Ackley,Zunino,Montero era had multiple top 10s also.

Ackley's best rating was 11, Z was top 25 (and to be fair he's produced a total of 13.9 WAR which, not the best, is decent for a catching prospect as they are notoriously hard to predict), Montero was top 10.

This was also a much different player development system and strategy then they currently have.
