At BaseballAmerica.com (http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/features/26983.html) they have a list of their top 100 prospects for each year going back to 1990. It's neat to go back and look through it and see some of star players when they were just prospects. But more on topic for us, here's a list of all the Yankees that were ranked in the top 100. It's kind of interesting to see who made, who never did, and who the Yanks traded away. Going back to 1990 is also a good time frame because it coincides with when Steinbrenner was suspended and the team began to build what became one of the league's best farm systems by the end of the decade. Anywho, here's who the Yankees had each year through this year (next year, I imagine Philip Hughes will ranked pretty high):
