Yanks Sign BYU RHP Jarod Lessar

The Yanks are throwing another RHP into an RHP heavy system.  Jarod was a swing man at BYU and K'd less than one per inning. He's also older than the other kids because he went on his mission,  That said, he's 6'4" and 220 and he must have things that intrigue them..

Might have thought they'd grab a first baseman or two right of that bat.  That's how they got Mike Ford several years ago, and College 1B's are generally passed over in the draft, though one went first overall in this shortened version and a few others were picked.

Anyway, there should be plenty of value still out there, given this year's 5 round format.
