Roster Predictions

This is just for fun, but I compiled a list of who I think will be where in the minors next season. I'd love to hear your input, as this is purely guessing based on statistics and my perception of how things will go. Here it is. After a recent conversation with someone from the front office for the Trenton Thunder, it seems we should expect the unexpected as far as the rosters go because the Yankees may keep some players in Trenton to avoid the traveling disaster that will be Scranton Wilkes-Barre next season because of drainage problems at PNC field. These are my predictions if that were not the case.
