Seven teams have worse minor league systems than the Yankees, according to Baseball Prospectus

They include the Rays, Tigers, Athletics and Angels.

Unfortunately, the Redsocks organization is ranked fourth in MLB.

The website states the obvious: "[A]ll it takes is a return to form from some of the more heralded names on the farm and the Yankees will shoot back up the org rankings." 

But each organization is assigned one "Must-See" affiliate, the level where its most interesting prospects are stashed. The Rays and Redsocks will have their studs playing at Triple A this season. The Orioles will showcase theirs at Double A, and the Blue Jays at Low A.

The Yankees "Must-See" affiliate? The short-season Staten Island team.

Dear God, we're supposed to be watching a lineup of 20-year-olds, most of whom will never even make it to Triple A. Talk about disillusionment. I don't know about you, but considering the failures of our top prospects last year, it's going to be hard to get excited about a new bunch of first-year players. Seriously. In the NYP League, isn't everybody still a prospect?
