It's been three years since the Yankees set their sights on rebuilding their depleted farm system. Here is some recent feedback on the foundation of the future:
- The paltry Pittsburgh Pirates look to plunder pitching from the Bombers' system. Ohlendorf, Karstens, McCutchen, Jackson and Hacker have been acquired since last season. "In general we like the depth of their system. But we don't have a particular affinity for Yankee players."--(Pirates GM, Neal Huntington/NY Times)
- News from Scranton: "Lack of Starters Dooms Yankees"
- Expectations never sleep, as the Yankees' next big thing, Austin Jackson is fed into the hysterical hype machine: "He's definitely got a little Derek in him," said Yankees senior vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman, who oversees the minor leagues." No pressure kid.

I actually thought they would call up Jackson instead of Gardner. From the little I've seen of him, I like his game a lot, little early to call him young Jeter, but I think he deserves a shot if Matsui goes down again this year. He and Gardner could give us a decent outfield if we let them develop.
I think you'll see him in Sept when the rosters expand. Hopefully, they have learned rushing talent hurts.
