Keith Law's Top 100 Prospects

Following up on his organizational farm system rankings yesterday, Keith Law was kind enough to unveil his Top 100 players list for the world today, as well as his Top 10 for each team.

The articles are Insider Only again, but the top 3 were Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, and Matt Moore.  The Yankees were well-represented by prospects present and past, placing 4 of their own in the top 100 (ManBan 23rd, Williams 34th, Sanchez 55th, and Betances 83rd) and also having former Yankee farmhands Jesus Montero (9th) and Arodys Vizcaino (14th) place in the top 15.

I was a little surprised to see Williams ranked so highly and ranked above Sanchez, but that's pretty typical for Law's style of valuing tools and high upside more.  He went upside-heavy with his Yankee top 10 as well:

1) Manny Banuelos- LHP
2) Mason Williams- CF
3) Gary Sanchez- C
4) Dellin Betances- RHP
5) Tyler Austin- IF
6) Jose Campos- RHP
7) Dante Bichette, Jr.- 3B
8) Austin Romine- C
9) J.R. Murphy- C
10) Slade Heathcott- OF

P.S.- It's still weird to think about The Jesus not being a Yankee anymore.  Every time I see his name I feel like Lloyd Christmas.

"Goodbye, my LOOOOOOOVE!!!"
