Are you kidding me, they always boast about their farm system being good. But frankly it sucks! Cano is the only guy that I could really think of in the last few years that has come up to be a everyday starter. Since they sign every big time free agent, they usually end up trading whatever chips they have down in the minors. They had a bunch of homegrown core players when they went on the championship run in the late 90's, but since then, their system is an absolute joke.

Cano sucks. The best from their farm system is Hughes who has a sub 1.00 WHIP in the last month and has managed to strike out 31 in the last month despite being in the bullpen for Joba and Wang. I am salivating at the day the Yankees are dumb enough to trade Hughes.

I have to admit that I'm not 100% sold on the kid yet, but compared to some of the other names that they have had and brought up in the past years he's like Willie Mays.

I think it is one of those situations where he's been around for a while now so people forget that the kid is still only 22.
