MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: There’s been a lot said about how good the Yankees’ farm system is Let’s continue that trend and say even more good things about it. MLB Pipeline just released it’s Top 10 LHP prospects and our very own Justus Sheffield is on that list at number three. Sheffield performed well in the Arizona Fall League and he is hoping to make it to the majors this year. I think it’s safe to say we’re all rooting for Justus.

Even the YES Network Yoga instructor had to have the crew manage expectations. Now Gary, he who is Gary, has been a bit eclipsed by Aaron Judge’s historic 2017.

We’ll see if that’s hyperbole or reality this year, but they look legit.
