Scout.com: Top 50 Yankees Prospects
http://www.scout.com/

1.Jesus Montero - Big-bodied and strong, Montero led the Yankees farm system
 in batting average for the second straight year, hitting .337 with 17 home
 runs after hitting .326 in Charleston the yearbefore. His defensive game
 remains a work in progress, but critics continue to overlook the fact that
 he not only provides plus offensive potential at a normally weak hitting
 position, but he does have a strong arm and he provides a big target behind
 the plate, and offensively he's ready for the big leagues right now.

2.Austin Jackson - There are players with better tools ranked below Jackson,
 but few offer the same reliability in their projections. The pundits get down
 on his lack of home run power right now, but they fail to acknowledge
 the progress with his approach and that has put his power development on the
 back burner. He upped his batting average from .285 in 2008 to an even .300
 this year and he continued to become a lot more consistent both in his
 offensive approach and defensive work. He still needs more seasoning at
 Triple-A,but Jackson offers a great combination of upside and proximity to
 the big leagues.

3.Austin Romine - The 2009 Florida State League Hitter of
 the Year batted .276 with 13 home runs in the pitching friendly league
 and saw his slugging percentage increase from the year before. But
 while the offense is stellar at the catcher's position, it was the
 great strides he took behind the plate that were more noticeable. Once
 a less than reliable receiver, he is now as consistent as the come in
 that department and he's a much better two-way threat at catcher.

4.Manny Banuelos - All the 18-year old Mexican lefty did
 this year was go 9-5 with a 2.67 ERA as one of the youngest pitchers in
 the South Atlantic League, and he did it while not having one of his
 better pitches working for most of the season. He offers three plus
 pitches, including a fastball that topped out at 96 MPH this year, and
 he pitches like he's much older. Now that he has the plus curveball
 working consistently, he could fly up through the minors.

5.Arodys Vizcaino - The Dominican right-hander is as
 electric as they come on the mound. While his stats were good [posting
 a 2.13 ERA and a better than a strikeout per inning in the NY Penn
 League], they pale in comparison to just how good his stuff
 is. He was sitting 94-96 MPH with his fastball late in the season,
 showing the great plus curveball, and his changeup continues to get
 better. If he could develop his changeup into a consistent plus pitch,
 he too could race through the minor leagues.

6.Andrew Brackman - Some won't be able to look past the ugly
 overall numbers this season - 2-12, 5.91 ERA, and 26 wild pitches - but
 by season's end he started looking like a big league pitcher. The Yankees
 moved him to the bullpen and took away his changeup so he could just
 focus on his mechanics and the end result was a complete 180 degree
 turnaround in his ability to throw strikes. He now has repeatable
 mechanics, an ability to pound the zone with strikes, and two big-time
 plus pitches in his fastball and curveball. It's not out of the realm
 of possibility that he could be a viable big league bullpen option as
 soon as next season.

7.Slade Heathcott - The Texas High School outfielder was just drafted this
 year but few prospects contain his unique set of tools. A real good football
 player as well,he is a physical specimen who has both power and speed to his
 game, not to mention one of the better arms too. He projects to be a five-
 tool standout in centerfield, but he also can throw 95 MPH from the mound
 with a plus curveball if things don't work out for some reason offensively.

8.Corban Joseph - Stat-heads will look at his overall numbers and come away
 somewhat impressed, but perhaps not Top Ten impressed. The fact of the matter
 is that between his time in Extended Spring Training and the South Atlantic
 League, he hit way over.300 with eight home runs in his first full
 professional season. Most scouts agree, however, that there's a lot more
 power to come and with his plate discipline that could make him a rare
 offensive player at second base.

9.Gary Sanchez - The 16-year old Dominican player has yet to play an official
 minor league game but there's no doubting his skillset. He has power
 potential comparable to Montero and defensive abilities comparable to Romine,
 but if that weren't enough, his overall offensive game is further advanced
 than Montero's at a similar stage in their careers. That alone warrants a
 Top Ten ranking already.

10.J.R.Murphy - Like Sanchez, Murphy gives the Yankees another catching
 prospect with plus offensive potential. His defensive game isn't as far
 along, however, but few offer his baseball acumen and advanced hitting
 approach. The prevailing thought inside the organization is that Murphy
 could be Corban Joseph-like offensively and he can do it at the catcher's
 position.

11.Christian Garcia - Another year, another set of injuries for
 the ultra-talented right-hander. He has everything anyone would want in
 a pitcher except an ability to remain healthy. He has three plus
 pitches, including the systems's best curveball and best changeup, he
 can hold runners and he can field his position extremely well. All he
 has to do is remain healthy and he could be an impact pitcher at the
 big league level.

12.Zach McAllister - The 21-year old led the Double-A
 Eastern League with a 2.23 ERA and held opposing batters to a .220
 batting average as one of the youngest pitchers in the league. His
 success is predicated on his ability to pitch inside and get ground
 ball outs, and he's also able to throw strikes and pitch deep into
 games. Some scouts question his ability to strike batters out with both
 an average changeup and average slider, but his uncanny command of both
 can't be questioned.

13.Graham Stoneburner - Signed as a draft-eligible sophomore
 out of Clemson University, the right-hander pitched in just a couple of
 minor league games, amazing scouts there and during Instructs. He has
 an effortless arm action but yet still sits 93-96 MPH with relative
 ease and he already has a plus slider. He also shows great command of
 both pitches. He could either be a quick mover as a reliever with David
 Robertson-like effectiveness, or he could remain a starter and have
 frontline potential.

14.D.J.Mitchell - Like Stoneburner, Mitchell didn't pitch
 a professional game before being ranked this high a year ago. However,
 all Mitchell did in his first minor league season this year was post a
 combined 12-7 record and a 2.63 ERA between stops at low-A Charleston
 and high-A Tampa. He developed his slurvy breaking pitch into a
 legitimate big league plus curveball and his changeup is now making
 similar strides. His sinker is very special too as well as his command,
 so he's a bit like Zach McAllister, only he has some strikeout weapons
 in his arsenal.

15.Jose Ramirez - The 19-year old gets overlooked by many
 because he wasn't a big-money International free agent. That's a shame
 too because he has one of the more electric arms at the minor league
 level. Like Vizcaino and Stoneburner, Ramirez can generate plus power
 with very little effort. He too was sitting 94-96 MPH at the end of the
 season and he has a plus changeup in his arsensal. He throws a ton of
 strikes too. His curveball is lacking right now, but he can spin the
 baseball. If he can develop that into a consistent third plus pitch,
 he'll break into the Top Ten prospects in a hurry. His arm is special.

16.David Adams - Last year's third round pick has developed
 from a questionable two-way player into one of the better ones in just
 one short year. He hit a combined .286 with 40 doubles, eight triples,
 and seven home runs between Charleston and Tampa. However, the majority
 of his damage came in the pitching-friendly Florida State League so
 there's reason to believe his power potential is higher than most folks
 realize. Throw in the fact he is one of the best at turning
 double-plays at second base, he's legitimate in every way.

17.Eduardo Nunez - Known for being a virtual tool shed coming
 up through the minor leagues, Nunez finally backed up his tools with
 some actual production this past season. He finished third in the farm
 system with a .322 average, hit nine home runs, and stole 19 bases.
 He's also one of the more gifted defensive shortstops at the minor
 league level. He has really come into his own and he offers 20-20
 potential at the middle infield position.

18.Dellin Betances - There's an awful lot to like about a
 21-year old who can hit 98 MPH on the gun and has a plus curveball too.
 As sky-high as his ceiling is, however, his continued troubles showing
 consistent mechanics and a reliable changeup have now given way to
 Tommy John surgery. There's no reason to doubt his abilities, but he is
 starting to fall victim to the ever-increasing depth of the Yankees
 farm system.

19.Abraham Almonte - Like Nunez coming up, Almonte is an
 ultra-toolsy player who has struggled to find consistency as a
 switch-hitter. However, the former second baseman has turned himself
 into an elite defensive centerfielder and the end result was growing
 comfort in the batter's box. He hit .305 in the second half and nearly
 added 200 points to his OPS during that time, not to mention he stole
 twice as many bases. He's a legit five-tool player who is starting to
 come into his own.

20.Ivan Nova - Lost to the San Diego Padres
 in the Rule 5 Draft last offseason, it doesn't seem likely the Yankees
 will leave him exposed this year after posting a 2.36 ERA in Double-A.
 He did struggle, however, at Triple-A and he can be one of the more
 frustrating players. He is armed with plus command of three plus big
 league pitches and therefore should miss a few more bats. Talent-wise
 he should rank higher but he's going to have to produce a bit more to
 get there.

21.Kelvin De Leon - De Leon was signed two years ago as the top
 International free agent and he was then reported to be a five-tool
 player. More of a true slugger since that time though, he did start
 showing some of that five-tool talent by season's end this year, thanks
 in large part to a renewed energy. He has taken his hustle to a new
 level and that kind of commitment, with his plus power potential and
 improved defensive play in the outfield, could be downright scary
 someday.

22.Jeremy Bleich - His numbers at Double-A Trenton were bad,
 so bad that some critics have begun to write Bleich off completely.
 That would be a mistake. The left-hander has better stuff than most
 people realize. He's armed with a plus fastball for a lefty, sitting in
 the low-90's pretty consistently and he has one of the better
 curveballs around. His changeup, while not a strikeout pitch, is an
 effective out-pitch. He simply didn't trust his stuff enough at
 Double-A - a level which is quite the achievement for a first-year
 pitcher - and he's smart enough to not give opposing batters too much
 credit next season.

23.Kyle Higashioka - Higashioka is arguably the best kept
 secret in the Yankees organization. He hit just .253 with two home runs
 for the Staten Island Yankees,disguising the fact that he has one of
 the best offensive approaches in the farm system. He's got a lot more
 juice than the numbers show and his plate discipline is already a plus
 big league tool. Throw in the fact he's probably the best receiver at
 catcher and a natural leader,this kid has the goods to be a legitimate
 two-way catcher at the big league level someday.

24.Jairo Heredia - Like Betances, there is still a lot to
 like about Heredia's game. He sits in the low-90's with his fastball
 and he too has a plus curveball, and the changeup is coming around. But
 he missed out on some important development time this past season and
 he is now also falling victim to the increasing depth of the Yankees
 farm system. He needs to improve that changeup and it wouldn't hurt to
 add a tick or two to the fastball to fend off some of these other power
 arms he's competing against.

25.Brandon Laird - Laird had a solid offensive season in the
 Florida State League, hitting .266 with 13 home runs for the Tampa Yankees
 He also shed 20 pounds prior to the start of the year and that helped
 him make tremendous strides defensively. However, he is still a
 hit-first kind of prospect who will be relegated to a corner position.
 With that being the case, he will need to continue to show continued
 increasing power to keep the same value.
