I mean I know they are still young, so I am not going to cast a stone yet, but our young guys haven't really stepped up like everyone said they would. The Yankees win behind the veterans. They've always won behind veteran players. So I am really not sold on the Yankees trying to build for the future with thier minor league system because frankly I think people overate the players in the system a lot.

In a mid-season rankings last season he was ranked #3 in all of baseball. He has been tearing up every level he's been at and chances are he'll be starting at AAA at 19-20 years old next year. I'd say he's been the biggest position player "real deal" we've had in a while.
