Yankees Prospects: Is there Jorge Mateo prospect fatigue?

For the first time in what feels like forever, being a Yankees fan means also knowing your prospects. There was a time when if you knew who was in the starting lineup, then you pretty much understood the team. They were also famous enough that you could even explain to someone on the street who was on the team and they’d recognize the names: Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte, and the like.

Now, that isn’t really the case. I’ve found myself, on multiple occasions, having to explain to someone I’m with at a game that one player was just traded for, or was a minor signing, or that they’re a newly promoted prospect.
