I'd take Quintanilla over Nix as well. Of course, I'd still take Marcus Giles over either of them, and I'd still take quite a few easily obtainable guys currently in other organizations over Giles.
Continuing our exploration of statistical prospect rankings... here are the ProspectBot organizational rankings, based on each team's representation in the top 500 prospect list. The organizational scores are on a 1-100 scale, where the top team is set at 100 and everyone else is evaluated relative to that. So this means that the A's system is 96% as good as the Rays' system, etc.
1. TB 100
2. OAK 96
3. BOS 93
4. ATL 92
5. NYY 75
6. MIL 71
7. LAA 70
8. SD 69
9. CLE 69
10. ARI 67
11. TEX 67
12. COL 63
13. CIN 61
14. LAD 58
15. STL 58
16. NYM 58
17. SEA 56
18. FLA 50
19. MIN 50
20. CHC 49
21. WSH 43
22. PIT 36
23. BAL 35
24. PHI 33
25. TOR 29
26. SF 28
27. KC 27
28. HOU 22
29. DET 15
30. CWS 9
That looks eminently reasonable.
