We checked in with a Major League scout who knows the Yankees’ farm system very well the other day, and he raved about the quality and quantity that he saw this past season.
The veteran scout still thinks the Yanks have one of the top systems in baseball even after trading some of their better prospects last summer in deals with the Oakland Athletics and the Chicago White Sox. He says the Yanks are so deep that they can afford to deal a few more away to add a big piece or two to the Major League club.
