Another Underrated Yankee Prospect?

BaseballAmerica.com: Prospects: Prospect Hot Sheet

This week's Prospect Hot Sheet, a must read for serious Rotisserie players despite any of my misgivings - not focused on the hottest players season-to-date but one the hottest ones over the past seven days.

This week's is topped by Trenton Thunder's 21-year-old Tyler Clippard whose has dominated since mid-July - 99 Ks in 82 IP with 8 wins.

What I'd like to see in 2006 is him become the 2004 version of Chien Ming Wang & Robinson Cano and the 2005 version of Melky Cabrera.

For the year, Clippard is at 149.1 IP 155Ks and 107 hits to go with 50 BBs.

Given his age and those numbers, he looks like a legitimate Yankee propsect in no need of puffing by the New York press.
