Baseball America has come out with their annual Top 10 Prospects for each organization and posted their take on the Yankees' system today. I was a little surprised to see J. Brent Cox left off the list and Eduardo Nunez placed so highly, but other than that, no real shocks:

1. Philip Hughes, rhp
2. Eric Duncan, 3b/1b
3. Jose Tabata, of
4. C.J. Henry
5. Austin Jackson, of
6. Eduardo Nunez, ss
7. Marcos Vechionacci, 3b
8. Christian Garcia, rhp
9. Jeff Marquez, rhp
10. Tyler Clippard, rhp

The part of the article that's the most important is probably the closing:

In the last two years, New York has added high-end prospects at the lower levels with international signings and a more aggressive approach in the draft...Loaded Yankees affiliates won championships in the short-season New York-Penn and Rookie-level Gulf Coast leagues, but most of their best talent has yet to play above the Class A level.

I'll be chiming in over the next couple of weeks with my take on the top 10 as well as a couple of other prospects to keep an eye on during the coming season. If anyone has heard buzz about a specific prospect and want to read how they're doing, I'll be happy to take requests.
