The Yankees do have some decent prospects coming along the way like Mason Willians, Tyler Austin, Slade Heathcott, Gary Sanders and etc.. Will the club stay true to their word and go under the 189 Million Dollar Luxury Tax Threshold next year? If yes, the club could struggle for a few years like it hasn’t for two decades. These prospects could go  a long way in forecasting their recovery time to contention.

You guys are all in for a treat.  Jeff Kleiner recently contacted me about a partnership merge for the website.  He has developed a site (prosportsrosters.com) that covers all organizational affiliates in the Minors for all of the Major League Baseball Clubs.  We are going to combine efforts to bring you the best look at salaries, current 25 Man Player Rosters and Depth Charts for all 30 teams. 

Jeff is going to provide the documents in form of spreadsheets and I am going to accompany the posts with deep analysis of what the numbers tell us from my perspective.  If you can’t wait for all of my assessments for each club, go and visit Jeff’s website over at http://www.prosportsrosters.com.

In Speaking with Jeff, he is one of the more passionate fans I have come across towards the game of baseball.  He spends enough time in updating his MLB Facts for it to be a Full-Time Job.  So after the usual Video Clip and READ THE REST OF THIS ENTRY button, you will find some serious &*!@?!#!

Jeff updates this page below on a daily basis.  After you click on it….Bookmark it.  There is a 3 year salary forecast and stats not listed here on this page.  Jeff updates these pages daily and these changes include any Roster moves!

Cashman has not had a great few years of Drafting – while the club continued to spend freely on the open market and Trades – forfeiting some more Draft Picks. The Yankees have won less World Series in the last decade than the St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox – and San Francisco – while they still hold the best W – L record in that time for the regular season.

Like our Lead Writer Sully said, Brian Cashman and the brass at New York Yankees headquarters have not done a great job at Drafting over the last several years.  It certainly is not like the days when the club Drafted the core four of Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera in a small pocket of time.

To be fair to the Yankees GM in 2013, he has down a pretty decent job on the waiver wire – in order to have his team play in contention until all of the injured players come back.

I like the Ichiro Suzuki re-sign for 2 years, simply because he plays well in big games (last years playoff is a good example), and he can instill a professional work approach that the newer Yankees like David Adams can witness.

I did not like the fact they went with such inexperienced Catchers – rather than hit the market for a player like A.J. Pierzynksi.  Cashman still has a chance to trade for another Backstopper before the end of the year.  He definitely should with Cervelli being injured and implicated in the Biogenesis ordeal.

The club has shown it will go all chips into the middle of the table for 2013 – and so they should.  It is the last seasons for Rivera, possibly for Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte as well.  Kevin Youkilis will likely – and Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano, Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes are on expiring contracts to become Free Agents.

If you are a Yankees fan, hope for the best this year – before a few lean season may soon follow. 

All of the players in the Organization Minors and Majors:

The Boss would never even have considered not spending as much for the years going forward as his sons have threatened to do, The Yankees have won 7 World Series since he bought the team in the early 70’s (1977, 1978, 1996,1998 – 2000 and 2009) The only team the majority of the nucleus wasn’t there from drafting was the 2009 team.  For the first time in a long while, the Yankees will look to young organizational players in their franchise to help the Major League Roster field a competitive team in 2014.  Will the fans let them get away with this for long?  It will be fun to find out

I have attended or watched thousands of games, always paying attention to statistics, rosters and salaries of all professional sports.

Luckily I had the advantage of watching WGN TV and seeing hundreds of games in the 60’s. Collecting Baseball Cards and then later dealing them gave me an extra sense of the sport, both good and bad.” For all of your Salaries, Roster and Depth Charts for all 4 Major Sports (entire organization – Minors and Majors) click here or Follow Me on twitter  Follow @prosportsroster
