Boston's Better Prepared For Future Than Yankees

Steve, you did an awful job researching the Yankees farm system. How can you say that the Yankees will not be entering 2009 with any more established pitching. Clearly you have not heard of the 23 year old releiver Mark Melencon. He went from single A to AAA in one year while dominating every league he pitched in. Imagine a bullpen that features him, Joba, and Mariano. You also managed to over look the 20 year old Dellin Betances who has filthy stuff. You also forgot to mention the 20 year old Zach McAllister who posted a 2.09 era in single A. There are many more highly thought of pitchers that the Yankees have. Please do not embarass yourself like this again by writing articles with out actually doing some research.
