Yanks Being Secretive About the Draft

Tonight, the cookie jar again opens.

Usually, the Yankees draft someone about to commence Tommy John surgery, so it is a few years "out" until the results on that draft selection are "in."

My favorite was the Brackman boy, a 6'8" pitcher from North Carolina.  He was finished before he even began.  He was the Fred Weiss ( NY Knicks...the french guy ) of  baseball.

This time, however, will be different.

We are looking someone with red hair, speed, a really quick bat, a good arm, power, and a glove.
A sense of direction would also help.  Also, hand/eye co-ordination and athleticism.  It goes without saying that he must understand the game of baseball.

If he can play right or left field, it is a plus.

Our chief scout ( pictured, above, in the Yankee's technology room), has a few candidates lined up.

If they can beat him in the forty ( on grass, in cleats),  they get a shot.  Mano-a mano.

It is going to be quite an evening.

Dallas K is about to become a very rich person.  I just hope he likes Ray's pizza.

C'mon, how can you say that about past Yankees draft picks?

What, you have doubts about Anthony Seigler, the One-Man Band?

Clarke Schmidt, Blake Rutherford, Kyle Holder? James Kaprielian, Ian Clarkin, Eric Jagielo? Ty Hensley, Dante Bichette, Jr., Cito Culver, Slade Heathcott, Jeremy Bleich?

Yecch.

What about C.J. Henry and Jeff Marquez? Jonathan Poterson, and Eric Duncan, John Skaggs and Bronson Sardinha, John-Ford Griffin and David Parrish?

So, Coops has a little trouble drafting the right starting pitcher. Or infielder. Or outfielder. Or catcher.

I'm sure he has it figured out this year...
