As an ECU alum I saw Trey Yesavage pitch many times in person.  I thought he was a top 10 pitcher that draft.  Saw him outpitch Chase Burns in a regional.  I really wanted the sox to draft him, he was just more polished than Hagen Smith. Felt like Gavin Williams was the best RHP in the draft a few years ago too. I think sometimes scouts rate a guy higher because they are in the SEC or ACC. 

But Yesavage is absolutely nasty. 10 Ks through 4 innings in his 4th start in MLB.

Yankees getting dominated on both sides of the ball is poetic. The Jays' biggest weakness is their bullpen and it looks like the Yankees won't even test that the first 2 games.

Drafting is so important. The difference between getting a #1 starter and a guy who maybe ends up in the pen can get a GM fired. Gotta say, I'm having Yesavage envy right now.

Especially when your owner doesn't believe in paying for FA pitching...you've got to be able to able to produce like CLE MIL SEA TBR.

Can we ever stop effing up these drafts?  I don't much care for Shirley's philosophy of reaching, but  we should at least be able to catch a break now and then.

It's really the reason we're in this mess (along with doing very little  on the international front).
