Pending Pinstripes —
As expected, Jackson was the only Scranton player to make Baseball America's Top 20 International League prospect list. Among very good company, Jackson was ranked seventh.

This should come as no surprise. “AJax” was the Yanks’ only high-ceiling prospect at Scranton/AAA and had a somewhat nice debut as a full-season member of the Yankees highest minor league affiliate.
From BA’s write-up (which is for subscribers only):
Jackson was the most exciting ...
