It's pretty cool to look at the Yankees 2012-2016 starters.

The Rangers have the most at 3, followed by the Rays and Giants with 2. Good to see a real prospect for the Yanks up there.

Ha, thank you very much. But in all seriousness, the Giants are going to be a team to contend for a long time, this kid, Bumgarner, is said to be a better prospect than Lincencum.

I used to go to school with Aaron Hicks. He's going to be a solid player for the Twins

Jesus Montero is a stud. In the end I'm actually happy the Yankees kept him over a luxury like Halladay because in a few years we'll have a need arising at home plate. If the Nationals keep piling up prospects like Strasburg they're gonna dominate... in like 10 years like the Rays did lol.

Edit: Actually the Rays didn't even dominate, they contended for a year lol.

Mike Stanton is just an absolute freak of nature. The kid has so much power it's not even funny. He hit 41 homeruns as a 19-year old in Single-A. Yeah it's only Single-A, but anyone who displays that amount of power at a young age is something special. Let's hope he pans out.
