Several players in the Yankees' system are no longer eligible for the top 50 prospects list, but are still young enough to deserve mention in the discussion. These are the players who have already played in the major leagues in some capacity. They are still a huge indication of the success and health of the farm system, and here is where we will discuss that. When you combine this list with the top 50 prospects, it is staggering how much talent this farm system has produced. To take it a step further, when you consider some of the guys who are not on this list, but are products of the Yankees' farm system, it's even more staggering. Guys like Greg Bird, Gary Sanchez, Luis Severino, David Robertson, Tommy Kahnle, Austin Romine, Dellin Betances, and Tyler Austin have all made an impact at varying levels to the major league team. Here is a list of the guys who have had limited exposure to the majors still, or were rookies this year. 1. Aaron Judge – RF, 6-foot-7, 282-po

Here's a list of the guys who didn't make the cut for the top 50, but depending who you ask probably could have. There's a bunch of guys on this list who would have been in the top 50 most other years. Unfortunately I can only put 50 guys in the top 50. Many of these players will end up being in the top 50 by the middle of next season for sure. Some will even end up being top prospects. 51. Tim Lynch – 1B, 6-foot-3, 220-pounds, LHB, 24-years-old – Lynch put himself on the map this season with an incredible performance in 57 games of High-A baseball. He hit .310/.368/.573/.940 with 13 homeruns, 15 doubles and a triple in those 57 games. Lynch is an extremely patient hitter, and doesn’t strike out a ton for a guy with his level of power. He’s got a lot of competition for innings and at bats in Double-A and Triple-A next season (Ford, Gittens), but if he keeps hitting like this it’s not gonna matter. The power is most certainly there, but he will need to sustain it at the

This is an all-time best prospect ranking list for me. Even with all of the trades and graduations this season, the system is brimming with talent. Better yet, the farm is already infusing the major league team with future cornerstones. Dellin Betances, Luis Severino, Tommy Kahnle, Chad Green, Jordan Montgomery, Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, and Clint Frazier are all current or potential future stars (and have played enough time in the majors to disqualify them from my list). Guys like Domingo German, Luis Cessa, Giovanny Gallegos, Tyler Wade, Jonathan Holder, Nick Rumbelow, Ben Heller, and Garrett Cooper are also young players who have already made their debut and all have the talent to potentially be major future contributors on the team. Since they have already made their debuts, I will make a separate list on where those players would have ranked (excluding Betances, Severino, Kahnle, Judge, and Sanchez because they all had significant major league time before this season).
