The Cleveland Guardians, by most accounts, maintain one of the most loaded farm systems in all of baseball. Whether or not that translates to major-league success is another thing entirely, but it's never a bad position to be in.

That being said, the organization has seven prospects in the updated top 100 list from Baseball America. Those players include pitcher Daniel Espino (#19), pitcher Gavin Williams (#20), catcher Bo Naylor (#68), outfielder George Valera (#72), shortstop Brayan Rocchio (#77), pitcher Logan Allen (#85), and pitcher Tanner Bibee (#86).

Only the Baltimore Orioles have more players on the list with eight.

Many of the aforementioned names have now become familiar for many Guardians fans, though Bibee might be a bit more unknown - though that is likely going to change very soon. The 23-year-old former fifth-round pick is quickly rising through the ranks, ending his 2022 season in Akron where he had an incredible 1.83 ERA in 13 starts, striking out 81 batters in 73 2/3 innings. He'll likely find his way to Triple-A Columbus at some point this season, and from there, the call-up to Cleveland won't be far behind.
