How are the Yankees position prospects doing down in the minors so far this season?
Take a look at the numbers for yourself:

Of all of these, who would you say are the “Top 5″ in terms of having good seasons. so far?
When you factor in age, playing level, and ability to do well and control the hitting zone, I’d probably go with Jesus Montero, Justin Snyder, Brett Gardner, Kevin Russo and Colin Curtis.
Could you make this any more difficult to read?
that aside, seems to me if Damon and Cabrera continue to struggle and Gardner puts together a productive week in Scranton, you might see a new LF or CF come Memorial Day.
I think there’s little doubt that going into next year Jesus Montero will be the Yankees’ number-one ranked prospect, just edging out Austin Jackson.
Come on no love for Abe Almonte?
Ever since he was on the DL the team hasn’t hit the same.
