Two days prior to the start of the minor league season, the Yankees released the rosters for their four full season minor league affiliates. Missing from the rosters were a handful of well regarded prospects that many fans expected to see but who were held back in minor league spring training or dealing with injuries.
Many of the players profile to the Low-A level and will likely see time there at some point this season. This makes it more surprising that even without some of the top prospects in the Yankees system, the Low-A Tampa Tarpons still exploded out of the gate, scoring 77 runs across their first five games.
