More Yankee Draft Stuff

As the top 3 in the Yankee batting order tonight are all Yankee Draft Picks, it's crucial to once again remind everyone just how important these 3 days in June have become the the organization.  Gardy's on his second deal, but Judge and Bird are still saving the Yanks millions and have paid for their entire draft classes already. It's incredible that such a startingly efficient market still exists. Of course, you could say going 1 for 40 is not effiicient, finding a Free Agent starter for the Yanks always costs more.

Anyway, this year the Yanks have a smaller pool and might want to stretch it out by saving money on their first round pick, who could be an injured guy or someone from a smaller school.  I think they'd only change this tack if someone like Triston Cassas or some other huge ceilinged Prep falls to them at 23, at that point I think they could even switch to a first round overpay and look to really save on picks 2-10.  So depending on how things fall Monday, we should be able to tell what Tuesday will look like.
