The Draft Process

Here’s a nice read by Bryan Hoch about the upcoming draft and the process the Yankees are going through in order to pick up a potential gem. Hoch speaks to Damon Oppenheimer about the needs and goals of the organization for this particular event and Oppenheimer seems pretty pleased about his chances. Although I’ve heard this draft isn’t as deep as previous drafts (in terms of talent), I’m sure the Yankees can still snag a high-priced talent or high-risk, high-reward player.

If you’re interested in following up on the draft, here are a few links:
