4 Yankees in Fanhouse top 100 Prospect List

Written by Sean P. | 25 January 2010

The indispensable Frankie Piliere put out his top 100 prospects in baseball for Fanhouse. Make sure you check it out. 4 Yankees make the list as follows:

5- Jesus Montero

41- Manny Banuelos

45- Austin Romine

76- Zach McAllister

That's a fairly accurate rendering of the Yankees top 4 prospects right now. I agree that McAllister is top 100 talent, but outside the top 50 for sure. Here's some former names you may recognize:

25-Austin Jackson

69-Jose Tabata

Arodys Vizcaino, somewhat inexplicably, is not on the list at all. That's very, very surprising.

As for the list overall, I'm fairly surprised that Jason Heyward is as low as 4. I think that's really the standout surprise. I can't really see Desmond Jennings or Mike Stanton being ahead of him right now, but as for the Strasburg/Heyward debate for #1 prospect in baseball, I'm at least a little more receptive to that argument.
