I thought Seth Fortenberry would crack the list, too. Poor Eric Duncan. I hope he figures it out. The potential is still there. Justin Snyder doesn’t get any love??

If that is your reasoning for ranking the Yankee prospects, then you would have Vech over Ramirez. The odds at the beginning of the year, shouldn't bear any interest to what is going on right now.

I see that Eric Duncan has fallen off the list, a view I have expressed in the past. My strongest reaction is how much better the talent here is than it would have been, say, three or four years back. My second reaction is that I'm not convinced that Tabata, A-Jax, and Gardner are as good as some of the pitchers ranked behind them. (To use the trade standard, I would trade Tabata for Ian Kennedy.) I'll need to see some power from Tabata and a lot more consistency from Jackson before I'm a believer. Gardner simply doesn't have the punch to be a significant player in the majors -- maybe the weight room would help? We could debate the list endlessly, which is fun.
