The best farm system in baseball belongs to the Cubs. With that said, if the Yankee's deal for prospects, they will be dried up for a couple of years to come. However, with that said, Boston is making no active moves to deal Nomar. (They are trying but the Cubs have stated they will not trade Angel Guzman or Clement to Boston. Angel Guzman is probably the best pitching prospect in the majors.) Which leaves Pedro most likely in a Yankee uniform next year too (You may hate it, but really, if he wants a series, this is where he goes)
RJ will end up a Yankee, simply because no other team in baseball, except the Cubs, Dodgers, and Yankees can afford to give up what Arizona wants. It will happen, this year, or in the offseason. He will be a Yankee. Johnson, and Pedro is what the Yankee's want, and it's no secret.
Can you imagine next season, Pedro/Johnson/Brown/Hernandez/Mussina ... Well, I need to say no more.
Most likely Hernandez will end up in the deal for RJ, so Lieber I suppose could start. :P
