Yanks Take a Flyer on a Flyer in Round 5
Meet Brandon Lockridge, the CF for Troy University. He has either 70 or 80 grade speed and OPS'd 909 in his junior year this year. He also went 25/28 in stolen base attempts this year. He bats right and throws right, or I'd swear we had another Brett Gardner. He's bigger at 6'1" and 185. He really has game changing speed, and they are saying good bat speed so their could be more power in the barrel. Terrific athlete and no positional questions, though he can also play second -- but why would you put someone with 80 speed at second?

Sounds like a future CF/ lead off hitter.
Unrelated, get well soon Mr. Gettleman!!!!
As a general point, if MLB has any chance to make the draft a thing, they have to make sure that those players who are drafted the highest are rated the highest.
We're probably heading into the college pick senior picks.
