I'm not so sure about that...after all, they aren't exactly big name prospects, and the Yankees farm system has actually been (I know, shockingly) nurturing and fostering our prospects. Look at Cano, Wang, and Cabrera. All of whom were players that were going to just be trade bait - and now two of them are starters and one should be the starting LF who has some great fielding skills (Just DH Matsui...it will be fine).
