BP names Montero 4th best prospect in baseball

Baseball Prospectus’ Kevin Goldstein released his top 101 prospects list today (these lists never seem to end), and the Yankees’ young marvel, Jesus Montero, ranked fourth on Goldstein’s list. The top 10 is as follows:

1. Stephen Strasburg, RHP, Nationals
2. Jason Heyward, OF, Braves
3. Neftali Feliz, RHP, Rangers
4. Jesus Montero, C, Yankees
5. Mike Stanton, OF, Marlins
6. Pedro Alvarez, 3B, Pirates
7. Desmond Jennings, OF, Rays
8. Carlos Santana, C, Indians
9. Buster Posey, C, Giants
10. Aroldis Chapman, LHP, Reds

If you are defined by the company you keep, then things are looking awfully good for the Yankees’ best prospect. Former farmhands, Arodys Vizcaino (45), now on the Braves, Austin Jackson (49), now on the Tigers, and Jose Tabata (90), now on the Pirates, were also featured. Outside of Montero, unfortunately, no other Yankees made the list.
