NFT: Yanks Minors - RAB's 2014 Post-Draft Top 30 Prospects

but on the whole it isn't too bad. The fact that you could argue another dozen or so kids merit consideration is itself a promising thing.

o i forgot

Does anyone think there's a chance we could see him this year?

he is ranked way too low. He profiles to an above average bat at 2B and, more importantly, a case can be made that he's ready now. I get that he doesn't have the potential of a lot of those other guys, but the fact he's actually performed at a high level in AAA should hold significant weight (most those guys are High A or lower).

SD. He was dealt for Headley

No. He's in High A right now and I think has thrown ~10 innings total (across 2-3 levels). I'd say best case for him is another 1-2 weeks in Tampa and then finishing the season in Trenton. That would give him a chance for a mid-season call-up in 2015.

Probably not. They don't want to have to give him a 40-man spot until next year. That's a good bit of why Refsnyder is still in the minors.

he could get lefties out in the majors right now. Thornton can't, and won't since he throws no breaking pitches...urgh.

Zoilo has 3 HRs today, had 2 yesterday.

so three in one game. Still, impressive.

Don't tell Phil.

a chance to succeed in the majors. it isn't like there is someone blocking him.

the odds he amounts to a major leaguer are near zero IMO

3 home runs by noon would have been insane

The odds of Heathcott making it through an entire minor league season unscathed are just about zero, too.

prep draftee last year holding his own in Low A. Patience needs to improve, but power (9 HRs) and a little bit of speed is a great place to start.

He's whacking Phil. But this is a continuation of last night's suspended game. Still impressive though.Almonte has 3 HRs in the game.

Where is Pirela on this list?

Didn't see that you clarified it.

I was rooting for Heathcott too. His personal story was pretty compelling. The kid's life is just filled with bad luck.

if they only use him as a lefty hitter, I'm fine with Zoilo, though he should still walk more. Roller is better at getting on base, and would mash in YS.

In any event, we'll probably see some kids after the deadline, if not a little sooner, There are a lot of DFA-able guys on the 40.

And yes, I agree with Dunedin that there are probably several players who could have made that top thirty like Fowler and Pirela who somehow didn't.

But those rankings are all sort of phony. Guys can either play MLB or they can't.

hit a homer, too.

Phil's good people and I always enjoy his Yankees input, even if I don't agree with it.

continue getting on base at a decent clip. Dude K's a LOT. In his favor he's also amusingly stocky. He's not fat, just thick, like Napoli.
