New York Yankees 8 — Atlanta Braves 3

Prospect Watch: Christian Garcia, Shaeffer Hall, and Zoilo Almonte
I made a trip out to Trenton this past Saturday for a rare 5:05 start to watch the Thunder play host to the Washington Nationals Double-A affiliate, Harrisburg Senators.

Better Know a Prospect Countdown: 20 - 11
Before delving into my constantly evolving (and therefore somewhat arbitrary) rankings, I felt it would be prudent to provide a few token honorable mentions:Zoilo Almonte has all the makings of a league-average corner outfielder. He's a switch hitter with five average or so tools (and increasing productivity against southpaws), and he could probably fake center field in a pinch...
