BA's Top Ten Yankees Prospects of the Decade

Written by Greg Fertel | 31 January 2010

Baseball America recently released their top ten prospects of the decade for each major league team(h/t NYaT). Here is the Yankees list:

I'm not sure how Phil Hughes didn't make it onto that list, considering he was BA's top pitching prospect one season and is coming off a successful year in the majors. Marcus Thames has been worth 1.5 WAR over the course of 522 games, so I'm not sure why he makes the list.

If the Yankees had been devoting resources to their farm system for the entire decade, instead of just the past five seasons or so, this list would look a whole lot better.
