Yankees, MLB Draft Preview

It’s draft day! One of the nerdiest but also most exciting days of the baseball season. Today is the day when downtrodden franchises get to have some hope for the future and when the juggernauts like the Yankees get to add more depth to their system. The Yankees have done a nice job in the draft the past few years, most notably selecting Aaron Judge in the first round of 2013. They also drafted current Yankees like Greg Bird, Brett Gardner, Jordan Montgomery, and Austin Romine. Just as important, the Yankees have used players they drafted in recent trades.
