Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1837558, member: 837"] Will be very interesting to see how this plays out. Yanks made the right call, obviously, and got some elite talent in return (7 prospects in the top 100). What will be interesting is how they go forward from there. Generally breaking in in NY can be tough b/c there are going to be bumps in the road for most prospects. There are also going to be studs available via trade the next year or so -- Fernandez and Sale most notably. So the question is will the yanks have the patience to ride out uneven developmental curves (in the majors and/or minors) and/or will they decide to package a few of these guys to try and get a stud that they then extend or re-sign and build around in the immediate future? Will be interesting to watch, particularly with the sox tracking a little further along down the same path. [/QUOTE]
