mbn007 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I was asked this via a PM, and I think it's legit. question. What happens to the Yankees in the upcoming player draft? Do they lose the pick acquired from the Phils for Gordon? We lost our 28th pick because of Farnsworth. We then gained the 21st pick from Philly for Tom Gordon. We also get a pick in the supplemental round between the 1st and 2nd rounds. With Damon we lose the 2nd round pick to the Braves as the Red Sox take the 28th. However we still have Bernie out there, who if unsigned by us...would get us either a 1st or 2nd rounder depending on who signs him. So, as things stand now, we go from pick #28, and pick #70 in the second round (approximately, as we do not yet know how many supplemental 1st round picks there will be) to pick #21 (from Philly) and pick # 35 (approximate placement of the supplemental pick we acquired for for Gordon). In other words, we strengthened our pen, and grabbed a solid leadoff hitter, CF, and improved our overall draft position, at least for our first 2 picking positions, and still have a lower payroll then last year!!
