News: The Yankees placed one player (OF Jasson Dominguez) on the MLB Pipeline Top 100. I have hinted at it this year: The system has taken a hit, due to three things: 1. Trades; 2. Injuries; 3. Down years. Order those three things however you wish, but putting them together paints the most accurate picture. Regarding […]
