We are up to pick 28 in the draft. The Dodgers are on the clock and they selected Zach Lee a RHP who is a QB committed to LSU. 4 more picks to the Yankees.
The Yankees selected Cito Culver, much more to come on him tomorrow. So you can hold on comments until then if you wish.
Yes I heard he was a switch hitting shortstop. But I have never seen him play.
