The Yankees signed Stanford LHP Jeremy Bleich to a $700,000 bonus according to Baseball America. He was a supplemental first-round pick, 44th overall.


That figure, if correct, is below what a player in that slot would normally get. That suggests to me that Bleich’s elbow injury may require surgery. Why else would a Scott Boras client settle for less than slot? We should find out more tomorrow.


The Yankees also signed 27th round pick Garrison Lassiter, a shortstop, to a $675,000 deal. He was a high school kid who fell because of signability issues.


Gerrit Cole did not sign. The Yankees also passed on second-round pick Scott Bittle, who has shoulder issues. They will receive picks at roughly the same position in the draft next season.


Strange draft for the Yankees. They took a kid who didn’t want to play pro ball with their first pick, an injured kid with their third pick and a potentially injured kid with their second pick. Was Joe “He’s fine” Girardi in charge of medical evaluations? :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

Cashman was asleep at the wheel, the Yankees had a TERRIBLE draft.


BTW, that black kid from Compton who hit .750 his senior year that Homie was all over is hitting below .200 in rookie ball.

I like high upside picks. The reality is most of them don't work out. Josh Ford Griffen and Jason Arnold were safe picks. Both made it to the bigs, but who gives a crap?

I love how the great picks over the last few years were all Oppenheimer, and the bad picks were all Cashman.

And for the record Cole said he wanted to play pro ball and was a Yankee fan. I don't buy this "they didn't even want to hear an offer" crap at all.
