My first run through the New York Yankees farm system revealed 50 names worthy of further examination. I have cut that down to 46 (listed below) and need to cut at least 10 more names.

Despite the problems on the big league roster last year, this farm system has some depth to it, at least in C+ types.
In considering cuts, players on the 40-man roster or close to the majors would have an edge over similar prospects at the lower levels.
