MLB Draft Update

So here we go...

29- The Yankees pick Slade Heathcott, an high school OF from Texas. Heathcott has "plus speed, a plus arm and plus defensive skills along with a good bat". His attitude could be a problem though...

76- The Yankees picked John Murphy, a HS catcher from Florida. He supposedly made the switch from the OF to catcher fairly recently, but scouts believe he has the talent to stay behind the dish. His bat should be a valuable asset.

135- Adam Warren- RHP from UNC Chapel Hill- SR

165- Caleb Cotham- RHP from Vanderbilt U- JR

195- Robert Lyerly- 3B from UNC Charlotte- JR

225- Sean Black- RHP from Senton Hall U- JR

255- Samual Elam LHP- Notre Dame- SR

285- Gavin Brooks- LHP from US LA- JR

315- Tyler Lyons- LHP from Oklahoma St U- JR

345- Neil Medchill- LF from Oklahoma St U- JR

375- Brett Gerritse- RHP from Pacifica HS
