A-Jax Makes BA's Top IL Prospect List

Baseball American has been running down their list of top prospects in each minor league division. Today they posted their list of top International League prospects, and the only Yankee to make the list was outfielder Austin Jackson, who came in seventh.
Jackson was the most exciting player to spend the full season in the IL, flashing all five tools while leading the circuit in triples and ranking second in hits. He drew comparisons to Torii Hunter, albeit with less power.
Here's the top six: 1. Matt Wieters, c, Norfolk (Orioles), 2. Tommy Hanson, rhp, Gwinnett (Braves), 3. Andrew McCutchen, of, Indianapolis (Pirates), 4. Chris Tillman, rhp, Norfolk (Orioles), 5. Wade Davis, rhp, Durham (Rays) and 6. Jeremy Hellickson, rhp, Durham (Rays). For the rest of the list, click here.
