  Baseball Digest’s Top 10 Prospects: New York Yankees

  Written by: Robert M. Pimpsner

  For the past several years the New York Yankees have been slowly rebuilding

  their farm system to one of the better organizations in baseball. They

  accomplished this by being aggressive in the international free agent market

  and taking chances on high risk high reward players in the amateur draft. One

  of those high risk, high reward players was right-hander Joba Chamberlain who

  immediately made an impact on the organization within a year of being a

  drafted.


  With players such as Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, and Brett Gardner now

  entrenched in the major leagues the Yankees now have the task of replacing

  them in the system. In addition the trades the Yankees have made this past

  off season sent two of their top prospects to other teams in order to

  strengthen the big club.

  It was an up and down year for the Yankees in the minor leagues as several of

  their top players experienced injuries such as Dellin Betances, Jairo

  Heredia, and Jesus Montero. Former first round pick Andrew Brackman struggled

  in his first professional season but found success at the end of the season

  out of the bullpen. Others however emerged such as the young Jose A. Ramirez

  who ended the year on the NY-Penn League championship roster of the Staten

  Island Yankees.


  1. Jesus Montero – Young, big, and powerful are three words that can best

  describe catching prospect Jesus Montero who comes as no surprise to be

  number one on our New York Yankees top prospect list. The 6 foot 4 inch 225

  pound right handed slugger has impressed at every level he has competed at.


  2. Austin Romine – Coming in right behind the slugging Jesus Montero is the

  best defensive catcher in the organization in the form of Austin Romine. The

  Yankees selected the 21 year old catcher in the second round of the 2007

  First-Year Player draft out of high school and made his professional debut

  later that season appearing in just one game where he went 1 for 2 with a RBI

  for the Gulf Coast Yankees.


  3. Manny Banuelos – Probably the best left-handed pitching prospect the New

  York Yankees have developed since current Yankee Andy Pettite. Manny Banuelos

  was neck and neck with Arodys Vizcaino for the title of best pitching

  prospect in the Yankees organization but a trade solved that debate.



  4. Slade Heathcott – One of the two members of the 2009 First-Year Draft

  class  who made our Top 10 prospect list is outfielder Slade Heathcott.

  Although he appeared in only 3 games during the season with the Gulf Coast

  Yankees.


  5. Zach McAllister – Zach McAllister was drafted by the New York Yankees in t

  the 3rd round ove the 2006 First-Year Player Draft and made his professional

  debut later that season as a piggyback starter with fellow draft pick Dellin

  Betances.


  6. JR Murphy – John R. Murphy is the second member of the 2009 Draft class

  to be named to the Top 10 Prospects. Murphy was selected in the second round

  of the draft out of high school. The 6foot 190 pound catcher then made his

  professional debut with the Gulf Coast Yankees where he hit .333 in 9 games

  with a homerun, a double and 7 RBIs.


  7. Andrew Brackman – As a former two-sport athlete in college the towering

  Andrew Brackman never has been through the regular off-season training

  routine that typical pitchers went through, in addition sitting out a season

  due to Tommy John surgery he did not have his best stuff in 2009, but the

  Yankees still liked what they saw from his development.


  8. Wilkins DeLaRosa – Originally signed as a right fielder with a killer arm

  DeLaRosa’s bat was not able to come around and the Yankees moved him to the

  mound in 2007.


  9. Jeremy Bleich – Selected in the supplemental round of the 2008 First-Year

  Player Draft the left-handed pitching Jeremy Bleich made his professional

  debut pitching 3 innings allowing 2 hits and 2 earned runs while striking out

  4 for the Staten Island Yankees in September of that season.


  10. Ivan Nova – Ivan Nova is a guy that Yankees fans could see sometime soon

  in the Bronx. The young right hander signed on July 15, 2004 as an

  International Free Agent and then made his United States debut in 2006 with

  the Gulf Coast Yankees.

  Other Names to Know


  Beyond the top ten prospects are several players that could break into the

  list next year such as right-handers Jose A. Ramirez, DJ Mitchell, Christian

  Garcia and Hector Noesi. That latter was added to the 40-man roster this past

  off-season. Infielders Bradley Suttle and Corban Joseph are also names to

  follow in the minors. Newly signed catcher Gary Sanchez has yet to get into a

  game but could be on the list next season after making his professional

  debut. In addition the young Kyle Higashioka has the ability to be great

  defensive catcher as well as become a good hitter.
