Thursday was Opening Day for Major League Baseball’s Minor League (MiLB) system. Likewise, the Yankees‘ minor league system from regular Single-A to Triple-A kicked off their season.
Like the big league club opened up against the Red Sox, the newly renamed Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Rail Raiders, the Trenton Thunder, and the Charleston RiverDogs (supposed, was postponed) opened against Boston’s respective minor league affiliates.
The Yankees have several notable prospects on all levels, but the elite talent is at the lower levels as of right now. But, obviously, it will be interesting to see how they will perform and stake a claim as apart of the big league club’s future.
