BleedinBlue Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The Yankees always have something up their sleeve and I think I know what it is. With Bruney, they got the number one overall pick in tomorrow's "Rule 5 Draft". Bryce Harper is a monster of a guy who also plays catcher and he is unprotected. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if tomorrow morning we find out that we have Harper in the fold, and with that pickup, Montero will be used for bait. I still think that the Yanks will land Halladay and probably by giving up Hughes, Montero and maybe Melky. If we hadn't given up AJax for Granderson, he'd also be in the mix. Since Montero is better suited to play first base than a catcher, and with Texeira set for the next few years holding down the corner....I just think that the Yanks will definitely part with Montero. Here's a site that shows a mock draft by the list of teams that will be picking tomorrow. They show the Nats as having the first pick, but that belongs to the Yanks now....who also have the last pick. Rule 5 Mock Draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think I'm jumping the gun here...not sure. But I think the link I posted is regular draft, not Rule 5 draft. I need to do more research here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 bleedin I love your enthusiam, but Bryce Harper is going to the number one overall pick int he June player draft and there is no way in the hell the yankees are getting him. He doesnt even belong to a team right now, he is a high school student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditto Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Since we signed Pettitte, I see no reason to trade Montero. He's not a major league ready catcher now, but from I read, he's improving both defensively and his throwing out runners. Let's not make the same mistake the old Cardinals made in turning down Yogi because he was a pretty pathetic catcher at that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
