    Preston Mattingly

    I'm not too sure where else to place this, but a buddy of mine, who's an excellent baseball fan, wanted to know of his status. He's said to be looking to stay in college in Tennessee and is a 3-sport jock. Anyone know of his status? My friend said he's avoiding the June amateur draft.

    Thx.

    Didn't the Yanks draft one of Donnies boys in the late rounds a few years ago? I think it was the same year that they drafted Willies kid. what ever happen to him?

    Donnie's kid gave up baseball a few years ago. I don't know what happened to Willie's kid.

    What position does he play? The article never mentions it.

    "I’ll play pretty much anywhere but catcher or pitcher," he said. "All I want to do is help the team. I want to win the College World Series."

    Another article mentioned that he projects as a corner player. 1st, 3rd, LF, or RF.

    He seemed to leave the door open. We are probably the only team that could sign him for obvious reasons. I see us drafting him around the 8th or 9th round.

    Hm, if we drafted him, I'd like to play him at a bunch of different spots and hope he becomes a Rob Mackowiak-type player.

    That was Don Mattingly in 1983. The exact same picture as the guy the Yankees brought up back then. Amazing with the similarity.

    It states that he was a forward on his HS basketball team. Facially he resembles his father, but he must be a lot bigger.

    It is never too late to be what you might have been.

    I'd love for there to be another Mattingly on the team. That would be so kick ass.
