OF Kendall Coleman
OF Carlos Vidal

Obviously a lot of depth at SP, most of the IF/OF are guys who are quite far away.
Out of that list, Jhalan Jackson was ranked 15th by Baseball America, I believe. Just a snippet from the site:

Quote:
"Breakout Candidate: The Yankees were very pleased with Jhalan Jackson’s pro debut in the short-season New York-Penn League, showing profile right field tools. He’ll have to show a bit more plate discipline for his raw power to shine through in 2016, but he has the present strength to produce in his first full pro season."
They also identified Donny Sands as a sleeper (not ranked though), while Austin DeCarr was ranked in the lower tier of that same Top 30.

Mike Axisa really likes Leonardo Molina and has for a few years now, but with a bunch of OFs ahead of him it might be difficult to get him in, I would think.
