Keith Law of The Athletic just dropped his organizational rankings for the farm systems of each MLB franchise. Law already released his top-100 prospects ranking as well as the top farm systems in all of baseball, but now he has turned his attention to the individual systems themselves.

Since the Houston Astros have promoted much of their upper end talent, their farm system has taken a hit. It still has some elite talent, and plenty of depth. However, it isn't as robust as it was just a few seasons ago. 

Here are Law's top-20 Houston Astros prospects:

1. Hunter Brown, RHP

2. Yainer Diaz, C/1B

3. Drew Gilbert, OF

4. Colin Barber, OF

5. Jacob Melton, OF

6. Korey Lee, C

7. Forest Whitley, RHP

8. Pedro Leon, 2B/OF

9. Justin Dirden, OF

10. Logan Cerny, OF

11. Will Wagner, OF

12. Miguel Ullola, RHP

13. Joe Perez, 3B/1B

14. Luis Santana, IF

15. Spencer Arrighetti, RHP

16. Zach Daniels, OF

17. Ryan Clifford, OF

18. Misael Tamarez, RHP

19. Trey Dombrowski, LHP

20. Luis Baez, SS

There are really no surprises with the top of this list as Brown leads the way. This time next year his name likely won't be on this list. There are also multiple names on here, such as Diaz and Lee's, who could find some significant playing time at the MLB level this upcoming season.
