In response to "Prospect? From the Yankees?" by Will Hunting

Umm...yeah. The Yankees have some very good prospects.

According to Baseball Prospectus they're ranked 6th.

6. New York Yankees
Last Year's Ranking: 3
Why They're Down: The performances of Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy, along with Austin Jackson's breakout, were offset by Philip Hughes' graduation to the majors and injuries to Humberto Sanchez and Dellin Betances.
Strengths: Pitching, pitching, and more pitching; high-ceiling outfielders; big investments in Latin America.
Weaknesses: Infielders and catchers.
Outlook for 2009 Ranking: Down a bit, as Joba and possibly some others will lose eligibility.

Ian Kennedy was a bust; Hughes isn't much either yet. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 11:18 1
- No they're not but to say their prospects aren't good is wrong. - krusty Dec 11, 11:25
