As the remaining few weeks go by before the beginning of Spring Training, it's time to take a look at the positional depth in the Yankees organization. Today, we will start with the catchers and move around the diamond over the next few weeks. The New York Yankees have always been noted as having a farm system that develops catchers. The past eight years have seen MLB top prospect lists dotted with the names of Yankees catchers. Dealing from a position of strength, the club has used some of this talent in several trades bringing back players such as Michael Pineda, Justin Wilson, and other prospects. Although the position at the top levels of the minor league system is not as strong as recent years, there is still a reasonable amount of quality lining up behind the incumbent in the Bronx, Brian McCann.
