Time Capsule: Top International Prospects for 2014

[SouthwestAmAZins]

The purpose of this thread is to follow the careers of the top International Prospects listed in MLB's Pipeline and Baseball America for 2014. Most of these players are just beginning their proffesional careers. This class is different, because about a third of them were signed by the same team; the New York Yankees. Whatever the case, it will be interesting to follow their careers from the beginning. Will any of these young men make the Majors? Will any of them be All-Stars? Or will none of them make it out of the Minor League ranks? We will find out in the next few years. Here is a table with their names, original signing team and their current team with organization.
