Jim Callis did a chat on Baseball America today. One reader asked him if the Yankees system ranks in the top 15. Here's what Callis said:
Jim Callis: Yes. It takes a lot of time to break down all the systems and rank them against each other, but I'm confident enough to say the Yankees should rank in the top 10.The Yanks system has really improved greatly. Good work by Cash and company. Remember, BA ranked the Yankees 22nd before the season.
