Sanchez tops MLB.com’s top 20 Yankees prospects list

March 10, 2014 by Mike Axisa 19 Comments

The crew at MLB.com published their list of the top 20 Yankees prospects today, a list that is topped by C Gary Sanchez. No surprise there. OF Mason Williams and OF Slade Heathcott round out the top three. Jim Callis published his list of prospects 21-25 as well.

MLB.com’s lists are always great because they include full (and free) scouting reports, 20-80 scouting scale grades for individual tools, and video for many prospects. The rankings can be a little unique from time to time — this year’s list looks pretty reasonable to me, perhaps because Callis took it over — but that’s okay. Different perspectives are a good thing.

Other Yankees prospects lists: RAB, Baseball America, Keith Law, Baseball Prospectus.

Will you please trade Sabathia to Oakland? He will be like 6-20 this year.

  Shhh! We’ll never manage to pull of the trade if you leak your perfect knowledge of CC’s certain failure to the enemy!

    Matt Sakki, he’s a goop. All you got to tell him is Russia is planning to nuke them and he’ll run away.

Yankees are still working on a Headley deal centered around Angelo Gumbs. The package is said to include either Nuno or Phelps, a catcher and more.

The Yankees are in talk to acquire Chase Headley without an extension. Talks are centered around Nuno, John Ryan Murphy and Angelo Gumbs.”

I’m pretty excited for the Milb season too. It was a down year, and many of the players didn’t get the stats to boost their rep. Aside from Austin, who is a safe player all the rest on the top 10 have huge potential, and I like that. They also have several huge potential pitchers, something it is hard to buy in free agency.

There’s been a troll posting under the name “Matthew Saiki” on No Maas. I suspect there is a real Matt Saiki somewhere, but this isn’t him. There are a couple of trolls who frequent No Maas who like to do that. You can be sure he isn’t really SJK.

  Didn’t think anyone was all that worried

Someone needs to go back to trolling school I see. Maybe Greg and qwerty have an online course.
