Time Ripe for Yankees to Serve Youth

If any organization other than the Yankees was looking at themselves in the mirror right about now, and they had the Yankees' talent even minus Cliff Lee, they'd like what they saw. But, of course, that's not how the Yankees are graded, nor should they be. They do compete on a different level in terms of money.

That said, in terms of organizational health New York is just about as strong and as flush with talent in its minor league system as any team in the game. If for a moment we could pretend that they operated like a normal organization -- that the Yankees weren't the Yankees -- we'd be pointing to all the players from within that they could use to infuse talent into their big-league roster over the next few seasons.
