Clint Frazier
He's already looks
poised to breakout this season and could very well steal a roster spot when
spring training is out. With the future of Brett Gardner up in the air (he's
been on the trade radar for a few teams), there's a chance for Frazier to play
his way into a permanent role if he stays hungry.

Gleyber Torres
The Yankees are high on Torres as he was the big pick up in the Chapman deal with the Cubs last season. It will be interesting to see how the Yankees plan to develop him especially since he appears to be tagged as the potential shortstop of the future.

James
Kaprielian
After an elbow injury slowed his progression through the system, Kaprielian is back and ready to get back to where he was. There's a lot to like about this young man as he has showcased good accuracy and an ability to get strikeouts. It'll take some time to get his arm into form, but there is no reason to believe that he won't round into form and find his way up the ranks in no time.

Chad Green
Green has already
had a taste of the Major Leagues after being called up for a few games in May
of last year. Things didn't go as smoothly as one would have liked, but the
fact that Green remains on Girardi's radar for a rotation spot speaks volumes
about his work ethic. Should he win out, fans could be hearing his name on a
consistent basis for years to come.

Jordan
Montgomery
To the surprise on
many, Montgomery remains in the hunt for an open pitching slot. This comes
after his effort in the recent spring training combined no-hitter. His number
in the minors are formidable, pitching to a 2.61 ERA in 292 innings since being
drafted in 2014. It would be a pleasant surprise if the 24-year-old found his
way into pinstripes come April.
