I was just looking at John Sickels top prospects list, for the Yankees, at the start of this season. Here’s the pitchers on that list:

Dellin Betances, RHP
Zach McAllister, RHP
Mark Melancon, RHP
Jairo Heredia, RHP
Andrew Brackman, RHP
Phil Coke, LHP
Alfredo Aceves, RHP
Wilkins de la Rosa, LHP
Humberto Sanchez, RHP
Jon Albaladejo, RHP
David Robertson, RHP
Arodys Vizcaino, RHP
Christian Garcia, RHP
George Kontos, RHP
Kanekoa Texeira, RHP
Eric Hacker, RHP
Manuel Banuelos, LHP
Jeremy Bleich, LHP
Mike Dunn, LHP
Alan Horne, RHP
Brett Marshall, RHP
D.J. Mitchell, RHP
David Phelps, RHP
Ryan Pope, RHP
Matt Richardson, RHP
Pat Venditte, RHP-LHP
Kevin Whelan, RHP

When I see this group, I see more guys who have struggled this season and/or who have been seriously injuried than I see guys who are on the verge of doing something great at the big league level. Would you agree with that? And, if so, what does that say about the young, and reportedly up-and-coming, pitching in the Yankees pipeline?
