    Baseball America's top 100 prospects came out today. Yanks had 6, which was tied with Atlanta for 3rd most. Tampa has 7 and KC has 9 (which is insane...watch out for KC in 2013 and beyond).

    Jesus Montero #3, ETA 2011
    Gary Sanchez #30, ETA 2014
    Manny Banuelos #41, ETA 2012
    Dellin Betances #43, ETA 2012
    Andrew Brackman #78, ETA 2011
    Austin Romine #98, ETA 2011

    3 catchers...sounds like trade bait to me

    Fuckin Braves always find good prospects

    Fucking love to see 6 Yanks in the top 100. Suprised to see Banuelos so low. Also a little suprised to see Montero above your boy.

    Edit: And yeah, definitely some trade bait there. Romine I would assume is the first one out the door. I think they will hold on to Sanchez

    Phillies have found plenty of good prospects, just traded them all for pitchers. And still have a pretty good system at high A.

    I know it was a small sample from last year, but brown still seems pretty raw to me. He looked like he was on ice skates in the OF and his swing has a lot of holes. I'm looking forward to seeing him in spring games...hopefully he can iron out these kinks. I think he starts the year in AAA, which is probably the right move unless he tears up the grapefruit league

    I'm sorry, but I just couldn't stop laughing at this: http://www.onionsportsnetwork.com/artic ... ing,19407/

    I know it's The Onion, and its aim is mostly just to be funny, but it makes a good point near the end of that (fake) article. Stop trying to take dignity away from the guy who made your team a dynasty again.

    I have been reading that Montero is looking good behind the plate. If he can hit a little, it looks like he is going to make the big league team. I have always thought regular at bats for the beginning of the season in triple a made the most sense, but we shall see.

    Just got back to you. Thanks a lot, dude.

    Mo had awesome things to say about Banuelos, I really hope they don't trade this kid for Liriano. I think they can get it done without him or Montero and really hope they don't get desperate and lose this kid. Sounds like a young Santana from everything I read.

    Detroit seemed smooth, red sox tix for May 14th look sold out, I got a pair though. Lower level seats have generally nit sold as well due to the outrageous price. I stick to the terrace area, about $50 a pop

    I got Strokes tix for the night before @ msg.... This will be a nice way to spend the day after nursing my hangover, hopefully the weather will be ok
