Don't have the actual numbers but...

 

Pre-season

Frazier, Torres, Tate, Judge, Mateo, Sanchez, Sheffield

 

Midseason

Drop Tate and depending on the publication, add Kaprielian or Rutherford

 

By end of season, Chance Adams will also be on the list.

Our farm has gone from average to exceptional. The crazy thing about these trades is that we got guys with huge ceilings, but to get one who's in AAA already is big.

 

You have to remember, we already have Refsnyder in the majors with Judge and Sanchez in AAA. If Judge was healthy, he'd be our RF right now. As it stands, Sanchez is being called up and will likely push McCann to DH

 

Also, next year, Sheff, Torres, and Mateo will start out in AA, aka striking distance. Kap needs to get healthy. Rutherford is further off, but he's a phenom. Kid is hitting .446 in A ball right now

I am just happy that they have raised the white flag. I am not worried about them be good in 4-5 years. I will just enjoy them being hot garbage for the next couple of seasons.

And a700, I really think Cashman is an exceptional GM. Most of the terrible moves on the contract side were perpetuated by our curly headed boyfriend in Levine. He's a douche. And Lon Trost, who is an elitist *******. Cashman has basically been given the reins to rebuild this roster. By obtaining trade/talent capital and seeming to get full command over the rebuild, I anticipate great things. He makes shrewd trades and always seems to come out on top. His deal for Gregorius is looking like pure gold. Heck, he dealt away Kennedy and Coke (two guys who developed into something good) but got 15 WAR out of Granderson in 3.5 years (he was hurt his final year) and a title. He got Pineda for Montero before Montero turned into a pumpkin.

Thanks.

 

Looks pretty impressive. It just feels surreal to hear Yank fans talking prospects in a way not associated with "how can we trade them to get the missing piece?

 

I still like our farm and if you look at our young core of Betts, Bogey, Bradley, Swihart and virtually everyone else, save Papi, in early to mid prime, we look set for the near and far future.

 

Having 7 to 4 in top 100 prospects is nice, but we do have the highest two out of the 11 combined prospects, but the Yanks have come a long way in improving their future.

If you are going to add them, you have to give the Sox their 3 B's, and ERod.

MLB.com ranks the Yanks farm #2 now and the Sox #6.

 

By this time next year, the Red Sox will be in the 20s once Moncada and Benintendi are longer prospects. It's great having over half of the everyday players under 25.

That was one reason I was against the Espinoza trade.

 

We won't be able to retool the farm as easily as before. The rules have changed. We're banned from IFA's for a year. We probably won't be getting any top 7 draft picks for a while.

 

Yeah, far away prospects are highly speculative, but Espi was the big hope for me.

 

Our current top, under 21 prospects are:

 

19 Devers

17 Groome

20 Kopech

19 Basabe

20 Ockimey

20 Chavis

18 Raudes

20 Longhi

19 Y Aybar

20 Pennington

20 Pennington

 

I like Devers, Groome, and Kopech, but these are are at least 3+ year away.

 

But I'm not worried, with all their young players, they can find free agents to fill out holes on their rosters.

I only listed the prospects 20 or younger. Hopefully some of these guys will fill the gap...

21 Moncada

22 Benintendi

22 S Travis

25 Johnson

23 Hernandez

22 Dubon

21 Chatham

22 TBall

22 Lakins

25 K Martin

21 Dalbec

 

To go along with the young core of...

23 Betts, Bogey, ERod

24 Swihart, Owens

25 Vazquez

26 JBJ, Barnes, Shaw

 

Our luck with FAs has been close to zero,

The Yankees have got pretty lucky during their down season. Great trades have paid off. Some of our prospects have taken big steps forward, even though we've dealt with injuries. ARod gone. McCann clears waivers, I hope we can get rid of him, but I wouldn't just give him away for nothing. Should be extremely interesting to see how this all plays out. Money coming off the books. Interesting trade options still on the team for this year, this off season, and next trade deadline. Extremely excited right now. Wade, Fowler, and Adams are lower tier guys who don't get attention in the media, but they have been really awesome, all three taking big steps forward, huge fan of Fowler.

Fowler is really looking like a prospect. 21 in AA, he started out the year more as a doubles guy with speed. His HR swing has come on of late with 5 since the ASB and now his SLG is up to near .450. He has the most EBH on the farm with 44, 10 of those being triples. He's at 20SB, but gets caught a bit too much (11CS). He has the goods to stay in CF long term as well. If there wasn't such a glut of OFers in AAA, he'd have probably been promoted by now.

 

Adams really has come on. He has 9 starts where he didn't allow any runs. He's had 7 starts where he has allowed exactly one run. He has allowed 4 or more runs in a game only 3 times, and only once since April 19th. High end velocity, dominant slider, needs to develop changeup. But he looks like a beast
