...y'all gonna watch?

...I already posted my first rounders and my preferences...anybody else got anything?
 
I will be watching but don't follow the colleges and hs players like I do in football. Hope we draft some position players up top preferably shortstops that are actually good and can be up here in 2 to 3 years
 
...the first round I will definitely watch...I'd love to see the Yanx trade up and somehow get Dansby Swanson (yeah, I know, I know)...I like Brady Aiken, Dillon Tate, and Ian Happ too.

I'd give both my nuts to see Swanson as a Yank, but would gladly (maybe) would settle for Bregman, since Swanson IMO will be one of the very 1st taken......Tate would be a nice pick,Brendon Rodgers, Carson Fulmer, and/or Kyle Tucker. I'd like to see more out of Kolby Allard also, a fine southpaw SP.....

Any of your picks would be just fine. Ever applied for the Scouting Director or Farm Director???? ... for the Yanks of course.......
 
5 more picks till we go. Really hoping for an impact offensive player at short or second
 
Just have a feeling the Yankees going for pitching.

Everett or Bickford RHPs
 
James Kaprelian RHP Yankees 1st Round pick......
rated lower than some other top pitchers.. May get to the majors
faster. Fast ball only 89 -92 mph.

The best potential hitters were already taken in the top ten
picks.

Who do the Yankees take with the 30th pick? for Robertson to CWS.

An infielder hopefully not of the Cito Culver level.
 
Karprelian fastball is 89-91 and occasionally gets it up to 93. throws 4 pitches. Potential according to the experts is a #3 pitcher. Sounds like a joe blanton clone. Really?? This is the best they could do with the 16th pick. Another cashman head shaker. Can't wait to see if the 30th pick is the cousin of the albany 1st rd shortstop we took years ago thats working as a bartender now.
 
There is a reason why St. Louis Cardinals are good year
in and year out. Nick Plummer, a lefty power hitter, sure
would have looked good at Yankee Stadium.

They say because of his very good command of the fastball he could be in the majors in a couple years.

One of the MLB Network guys said he reminds him of In Kennedy.

...Cleveland took one of my picks right after the Yanx. (Brady Aiken)

...hurray...another RHed pitcher with a 90 MPH fastball...just what we needed.
 
If he's another Ian Kennedy, it's not promising.
 
# 30 pick....Kyle Holder, 21 years old, SS.....a defensive gem....
offense needs development.
 
This pick is a fucking thousand times better than our 16 pick. Kid was a 2 sport star and only gave up basketball 2 years ago which means has only been playing just baseball for 2 years. Tremendous defensive shortstop. Batted .298 last year and this year .348 so not quite sure what the problem is with that. Hit only 4 hrs so power hopefully will come as he grows and continues playing baseball. .348 ave with .418 obp is fine with me. His coach at sd state thought he was hands down the best shortstop in the draft which I don't agree with but this looks to me like someone who will be down the line potentially a very good player for us. Very happy with this pick as much as I hated the 16th pick.

Did you say you have a feeling?
Fine with me, nothing wrong with trying to get better in the pitching department.

Are the Yankees allergic to young LH SP?
 
"Allergic"? They'll probably trade for the LHPs.
 
Callis says holder may be the best defensive player in entire draft. 7th shortstop taken. I hope he turns out as good as the 7th or 8th qb taken in the first round of the 1983 nfl draft.

Just off the top of my head, in the past couple/few years....I can't seem to recall a single LHSP who came through the Yankees' system good enough to make at least a few starts with the Yankees.

?
 
Indiana state. Only thing I could find on him he had tj 2 yrs ago. He is 23 already and will need some time to develop. Should be up by the time he's 30. ROTFLMAO. Projected for bottom of rotation. Too depressed to go on and will now go to sleep. Cashman MUST GO. Goodnight all
