what I find interesting is how much the yankees improved their minor leagues in one calendar yr.

Trades-
Sanchez- power pitcher with ace potential and huge frame- Would be a top 5 prospect
Whelan- power reliever with closer potential and big time arm- would be a top 10 prospect
Ohlendorf- sinker innings eater with solid repertoire- would be a top 15 prospect
Gonzalez- defensive SS finally showing he has offensive potential- would be top 15-20 prospect
Jackson- Power armed sinker pitcher with big frame- would be top 20 prospect
Claggett- power armed reliever with closer potential- #13 in tigers org, would be top 20-30 in yankees org

Then onto the actual list (pretrades)-

Betances #3 - 8th round
Montero #4 - top INTL signing
Kennedy #6 - 1st round
Chamberlain #11 - supp 1st round
Melancon #13 - 9th round
McCallister #18 - 3rd round

then you also have Kontos, Norton, Hilligoss, and McCutchen making the top 50 later on. They had a very effective yr fixing a broken farm.
