BA releases Yankees Top 10

Written by Greg Fertel | 10 November 2008

1. Austin Jackson,OF-No dispute here. Let's hope he graduates to the majors this year and is a force to be reckoned with for many years to come.
   
2. Jesus Montero, C-By leaps and bounds the best, high ceiling position prospect the Yankees have. One year from now, we might see Jesus battle it out with Mr. Brackman for the top spot.
   
3. Andrew Brackman, RHP-TJ guys take time to develop their full potential, but he's got a ton of it, and I have no problem with AB being slotted here by BA. 
   
4. Austin Romine, C-Love that BA has him here. Most people think he's overhyped, but he's the real deal. Romine > Cervelli. Yep EJ, I said it!
   
5. Dellin Betances, RHP- Solid placement. One might make the argument that McAllister is better. But if we're going purely on stuff and potential, Dellin gets the upper hand in that one.
   
6. Zach McAllister, RHP- Groundball machine cracks the Top 10 this year. Maybe ranked higher next year?
   
7. Al Aceves, RHP-Doesn't make any sense to me. Too old to cracking a Top 10.
   
8. Phil Coke, LHP-I don't get this one either. He was real good last year, but he's too old to be considered a top prospect as well.
   
9. Mark Melancon, RHP-He's got to be higher in the list. Best relief arm in system and has a ton of potential.
   
10. Bradley Suttle, 3B-Good thing he's getting some respect. I like that Brad cracks the Top 10.
