UPDATE On January 4, 2005, team owner Arte Moreno announced that the team would change its name to "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim." Moreno believes that the name change will allow the team to tap into a larger marketing area in the greater Los Angeles community. Commissioner Bug Selig has approved the name change, but there are pending lawsuits by the city to enjoin the team, requiring the name to remain "The Anaheim Angels." The city sued arguing that the lease precludes the change, while the team argues that by leaving "Anaheim" in the name, the change satisfies the terms of the lease. NAMING RIGHTS In early 2004 Edison International exercised their option to terminate their 20-year, $50 million naming rights agreement with the Anaheim Angels.

The reality, of course, is that it can't happen for every team every season. When a team isn't competing, it usually means it's rebuilding time, or they become "sellers," especially during the Trade Deadline and the offseason. Depending on the state of the organization, the hope may be for a quick turnaround, or there could be a long-range plan in place. As the calendar is about to flip to 2016, a bit of retrospection is in order. In the past year, some teams have improved their farm systems more than others. The following list of the five most improved farm systems in 2015 was compiled considering all methods of player acquisition: trade, Draft, international signing, even the Rule 5 Draft. This isn't a ranking of the top farm systems; that's something that will come in the New Year after the new prospects rankings come out.
