Safe, average picks will have meant no Joba, Jackson, Melancon, Betences...See where I'm getting at...3 of those guys alone are the yankees top 3 prospects with Betences being arguable while Joba is arguably the prize arm in the whole org not named Mo especially where they usually pick in the draft, which is at the end of every round, and when most of the time guys like Price and Smoak are taken, there’s no fault in going for high upside guys like a Joba or a Brackman.

As much as I want to see what he can do as a starter, he needs to be in the majors ASAP. Humberto Sanchez is also 26.
