First of all, let me state that I have nothing against GM Brian Cashman or the New York Yankees organization. I know Cashman does his best to keep a playoff-contending team year in and out.
What this is for is to just lay out the possibilities that "could have been," as the Yankees' goal towards 28th championship has officially started today.
Now, the following prospects are very hyped ones—or at least they used to be.
Andrew Brackman is one of the biggest Yankees prospects in the system, both in talent and physical stature. He stands an enormous 6'10" and is listed at 240 pounds.
A product of North Carolina State University, Brackman played basketball and baseball for the Wolfpack before giving up hoops to further his dream of playing major-league baseball.
