Baseball America predicts Yankees will pick Philip Hughes with #23

[Pomp]

Via ESPN Insider

What does anyone know about this guy?



Other names they offer for consideration are:

Taylor Tankersly
BJ Syzmanski
Justin Hoyman
Jeff Larish
Matt Tuiasosopo

[23jordan]

It would be cool to get some high risk/high rewards pitching in the draft. Work on thier mechanics, Limit the pitch counts....we might make out.

How come?

i just don't see it evereything i have heard they will take a H.S. pitcher unless something crazy happens and some super talent falls i there lap at #23.

The would take Syzmanski. However, I seriously doubt he'll be there at 23...

The others outside of Larish and Hoyman would be good sandwich round picks. Particularly Tankersly. Hoyman is good, but won't be available. Larish had a terrible season and is being advised by Boras. He was considered a top-10 pick entering the season, and Boras supposedly wants a top signing bonus. I'd consider taking him in the 3rd or 4th round...

i don't consider him a super talent but i would not mind the yankees drafting him...
