Yanks System Ranked 10th?
Coinicidentally, another measure of a farm system's efficacy is how it serves the major league team. Recently the Yankee farm has produced 4 rookie of the year types, a Cy Young type, and a couple of future MVP's. The Farm also allowed the Yanks to acquire a reigning MVP and and a current All-Star starter. Over the past two years they have also been able to turn spare parts into additional IFA pool money that has allowed their DR scout team to really clean up and, along with, terrific draft strategies, made it easy for the Yanks to continuously replenish any depletion created by trades.
What's more, the Yanks never did make that "big trade" for Machado or an ace type starter. They still haven't lopped off the top of their farm and don't seem eager to. The tax resets this offseason so the Yanks can once again go free agent shopping while their farm keeps developing stars like, Sanchez, Judge, Sevy, Miggy and Gleyber.
No way are there 9 other farms with a bigger collection or a bigger ability to be flipped for star help.

Rich, in response to your “costly trade” label RE: next year’s rotation... Sheffield may very well be part of that costly trade.
You’re nice early signs on Seigler.
There are
I thought of that Mike, and it could happen, but I think that’s counterproductive. They need three starters and that’s going to be hard to do.
Is Sheffield the same type of prospect that Severino was? If not, then I’m ok parting with him for a 1/2.
I would need to know who that was.
DeGrom/Snell/Madbum in a package of Frazier and Sheffield.
The offense isn’t good enough to trade Frazier for a pitcher. Gardner is not good enough to start anymore.
If they trade him in a package for a young. versatile hitter who can also hit for AVG, ok.
Actually, the smart play is Didi for a SP. It makes no sense to extend him. They got what may be his best years cheap. So leverage that last cheap season to maximize his value. That would be ninja.
Torres will be a better SS than 2B. Finding a 2B if they won’t trust Wade will be easier.
Right because when Cano left all we had is a revolving door at 2B.
Didi isnt going anywhere. Yanks need his LH bat in the lineup.
Why would a team trade a young versatile hitter who can also hit for AVG in a deal for Frazier?
It would have to be for a young arm.
You’re fav GM signed Ellsbury to replace his bat.
They need a fundamental rethink.
How hard did we wish they'd get rid of Rothschild??? Now Sevy is garbage.
He's over 50 pitches through 2.
It’s a rough patch, which I think he’ll eventually figure out, but bigger picture I would do a clean sweep of the coaching staff in the offseason. I don’t think Rothschild is bad at his job per se, but I don’t see guys coming here and outperforming their mean, which is what I want out of a pitching coach for a team with the resources of the Yankees.
This is a 5 game free fall for an ace. Borell trouble shoots the whole system and they haven't called him up to worth with Sevy and get him straightened out.
Gardner is done. Boone and Rothschild should be.
Nothing to be gained from letting Severino stay in past 100 pitches. This is reckless.
Not liking how this team is being run. Too much careless D, poor AB's and no contributions from their PC or hitting coaches.
My apologies to Girardi. The team was better prepared under him.
Careless D is an understatement.
I think they misapply analytics. Launch angle cannot be relied on to the point at which it overtakes sound fundamental basebal. The RS use the whole field, they make adjustments. Too many Yankee hitters have an all or none approach.
It’s inexcusable that they didn’t take advantage of Gray’s expiring minor league option.
Stanton’s contract could turn out to be a burden. He isn’t a difference maker often enough. Judge is clearly a superior hitter from what I have seen, and it has surprised me.
Bird isn’t doing enough.
Hicks, for all his limitations, has impressed me.
Romine is not good at anything defensively except blocking pitches.
After sleeping on it, what’s so concerning is that it’s not the RS who have made them look so bad, they looked bad v. TB and the O’s too,
How could the Yankees look so good v the RS the last time they played, yet since then the teams have been on the fast track in opposite directions?
Cashman can spout his baseball techno cliches, but the focus should be on him.
His hand-picked manager sucks, and his hand- picked pitching coach is worse.
Does he even see that or is he unable to admit and rectify his mistakes?
Adams goes today in Fenway making his major league debut.
Lets pray for rain....This can't end well for the kid. Rather would have seen Sheffield get a shot rather than Adams.
The sky isn’t falling people. We’re missing our best and arguably second best hitter. With the shuffling of the pen due to trades/etc. I think they’ll settle down.
My only concern is getting Severino right. Larry needs to figure that out quick or he needs to go. Gray should not be this bad and it’s definitely not mental with him, he’s as competitive as they come.
You could have mental issues and still be competitive. For example trying too hard
And it’s not about the sky falling other than in relation to the Red Sox, and injuries cannot explain why they were so bad against Tampa Bay and the Orioles
I also agree that Gray shouldn’t be this bad, yet he is, and Rothschild can’t do shit about it; so coupled with the Severino issues, I think that he has been a major mistake by the GM, along with the manager who seems grossly unprepared.
A few thoughts:
-Stanton is currently striking out 30.2 percent of the time, way up from his 2017 number of 23.6 K%. His BB% is at 8 — the lowest of his career. He's still been good, but not nearly as good as we all hoped. I think it's an adjust-to-NYC thing.
-I get that Gardner is the veteran leader, but he's currently hitting .247/.341/.383/.724. I'm sorry, that isn't good enough. If he's back next season as a starter someone goofed. Sign Machado (career K% of less than 20) this offseason, make Stanton the full-time left fielder and let Andujar split between DH, first and third.
-The lineup as a whole doesn't make enough contact. I think this is why they struggle so mightily with RISP and are inconsistent in general. I hope the analytics team has relayed this to Cashman.
-They need a bat or two that can carry the team. Betts and Martinez are that for Boston. No one has stepped up for the Yankees in that regard.
-I expect Frazier and at least a few pitchers to go this offseason for an established rotation arm. I hope it's a 1/2 type; otherwise, it will not have been worth it. With that in mind, I hope Clarke Schmidt can make it at least to AA by the end of next year's minor-league season, as that would go a long way to help restock the system.
