Since 2015, the Yankees have graduated four All-Stars ( Aaron Judge , Gary Sánchez , Luis Severino and Gleyber Torres ) and a fifth regular who finished second in last year's American League Rookie of the Year balloting (Miguel Andújar) to New York. They also have had 11 players claimed in the Rule 5 Draft and made several deals to avoid getting pillaged further, a testament to their prospect depth.

:: Team Top 30 Prospects lists ::

While the Yankees' farm system isn't as overflowing with big league-ready talent as it has been recently, they do have an impressive stockpile of high-ceiling/high-risk youngsters. That group starts with their top prospect, outfielder Estevan Florial, who has three well above-average tools in his raw power, speed and arm strength but also comes with swing-and-miss concerns.

New York is one of the best organizations at helping pitchers improve their velocity and spin rates, giving it an intriguing wave of overpowering arms that has yet to surface in the big leagues. There are 21 pitchers (all right-handers) on our Yankees Top 30, including potential frontline starters such as Albert Abreu , Luis Gil and Luis Medina, whose raw stuff is significantly ahead of their polish.

The Yankees also are one of the most aggressive clubs on the international market, and their four best prospects (Florial and right-handers Jonathan Loaisiga , Abreu and Deivi Garcia) and 15 of their Top 30 originated there. Their 2017 class looks promising with a quartet of gifted outfielders in Everson Pereira, Antonio Cabello, Anthony García and Raimfer Salinas.

Here's a look at the Yankees' top prospects:
