After being ranked as high as 12th in the BBB top prospect rankings just a season ago, Lail now checks into our rankings at number 25. Though this can also be attributed to the Yankees now having a much stronger and deeper farm system, 2016 was a down year for the prospect who was trending upward at this point last year. Still, at just 23-years-old, Lail has plenty of time to regain his prospect status, and could do so with a bounce back season. Photo Credit: Jake Danna Stevens | Times Tribune

It is now May 17, 2016 and the BBB is bringing you a long overdue minor league update. This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a few weeks now, but I anticipate it being a weekly update, probably to be released every Sunday afternoon going forward, so be sure to check in for the latest on the Yankees farm system. Here, we’ll be updating you on the team’s top prospects, standout players who are enjoying strong seasons so far, as well as those with high expectations that they are not fulfilling. Since it has been just over a month and this is our first update, this will be a 4-part series with updates on each individual team, starting in Triple-A. But following this week's update, I will be able to put them all into one article.

Brady Lail checks into the BBB’s top prospect list at number 12. Since being selected in the 18 th round of the 2012 MLB draft, the would-be University of Arizona pitcher has risen through the ranks of the Yankees farm system. Lail has pieced together solid seasons including a 2015 campaign going 10-6 with a 2.91 ERA over 148.1 innings that landed him in triple-A Scranton by the end of the year. Lail looks to continue where he left off and potentially make it to the Bronx before 2016 is all said and done. Photo Via Times Leader

After several years of the Yankees fielding a poor farm system, the farm is rebuilding and is pretty quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with. In addition to potential superstars in the MLB, the Yankees also have a ton of potential solid major leaguers and some prospects flying ay under the radar. This blog isn’t to focus on the big names you’ve probably heard one thousand times (Severino, Judge, Bird, Refsnyder). Let’s take a look at some of the prospects flying under the radar. Tyler Wade
