2015 Yankees Draft

[jacksonianmarch]

And it begins. Yankees have picks 16 and 30 for tonight

[jacksonianmarch]

I want Aiken, Cameron, Harris, or Funkhouser

[jacksonianmarch]

Kaprielian reminds me of the drafting of Ian Kennedy. He'll be a big league starter and he will be there quickly. His ceiling just isn't especially high.

[jacksonianmarch]

Kyle Holder is a s***** draft pick

[Meh]

hate the draft, hope the Yankees pick betts, Everett, or Matuella with their 2nd rounder. I'd rather just sign big name free agents to large contracts that will be crushing to the team 3 years in than draft Holder.

[jacksonianmarch]

Don't mind the Degano selection. Lefty a year removed from TJS who touches 95 and has a plus breaking ball. I want guys who, if they hit their potential, would be top notch big leaguers. Holder, if he hits his ceiling, will be Brendan Ryan

[jacksonianmarch]

I want Matuella, Nix or Rivera here

[jacksonianmarch]

Yankees select Drew Finley. HS pitcher, big frame without big fastball yet. Polished for a HS arm. Dad is a VP in the Dodgers system. I like this pick

[Meh]

Looks like we are going with low underslot guys on day two other than Finley. I think all three day one guys should sign underslot, with Holder saving us about 800k. We should be able to go apeshit on day three.

[jacksonianmarch]

I like some of the talent in Day 2, a bunch of fliers for the most part except for Adams and Finley. Adams is gonna fly through the system. He is small framed, but has a huge fastball and breaking ball combo

[Meh]

If the Yankees are able to sign their top 4 picks, where do you think they'd slot into the rankings?

[jacksonianmarch]

Kaprielian would end up top 10. The rest wouldn't be there. Holder is a god awful pick, IMO

[jacksonianmarch]

Final signing is Kaprielian. We signed 31 of our 41 and 25 of our first 26. While I hated the Holder pick, and still do, we definitely got a lot of big league talent. Kap will be in AA this time next year and I have a feeling Chance Adams will be knocking on the door as well.
