• The J&J Boys, Jackson & Jesus, Yanks Best Hope?

    Posted by on December 6th, 2008 · Comments (4)

    In case you missed it, Jonathan Mayo has posted his “Top 50 Prospects” at MiLB.com. Austin Jackson came in at #27 and Jesus Montero came in at #40 for the Yankees. This ties into what Baseball America shared last month: Jackson and Montero are the two-best prospects in the Yankees system at this moment.

    Let’s hope they work out better than Nick Johnson and Drew Henson did seven years ago.

      What was wrong with Nick Johnson? If he hadn’t have had that freak injury he would definately be a very solid 1b. Of course, the Yankees traded him away…

      Henson was a disappointment in baseball and in football. That’s just how it goes sometimes. I was not disappointed in Nick Johnson at all. He was a good enough player that the Yanks got a #1/#2 caliber starter for him.

      As well they should’ve. He was made redundant by Jason Giambi and any good team trades their redundancies for things they need (in this case, a young power pitcher).
