Over the past decade, the Yankees farm system has followed a pretty easy-to-trace path. In the early 2010’s, the team sported a middling system, occasionally churning out a supposed uber prospect like Jesus Montero, but mostly lacking the top-end talent that goes to teams picking early in the draft. By the mid-teens, of course, the front office rebuilt and laid the seeds for an excellent system. As the Baby Bombers graduated in recent years, the farm has taken a step back, and has profiled as more solid than spectacular for the past couple campaigns.
