The Next Derek Jeter (or Brien Taylor)
2008 Yankees 1st Round Draft Pick
Gerrit Cole
Unlike some other blogs, I will not claim to be more knowledgeable than I am about the prospects that the Yankees choose in the draft; I have never seen Cole pitch, aside from the video clips that anybody can stumble upon. What I will do, as a service to my loyal readers, is post some insight from experts in the field.
From Perfect Game:
Gerrit Cole is a 2008 RHP with a 6'3'', 190 lb. frame from Santa Ana, CA, who attends Orange Lutheran HS. Tall frame, present strength, projectable, long legs, easy arm, quick arm, balanced delivery, great arm side run FB, plus present velocity, CH has great tumble and sink, nasty, pumps zone with strikes, pitchability, has a purpose on the mound, one of the top pitchers in the nation.
Also, check out this link from Minor League Baseball - it includes a short video of Cole's delivery:

Jimmy's Take:
Pretty happy - he's projectable, raw, and a pain in the ass to sign. Sounds like the Yankees to me! At least he isn't waiting for TJ surgery.

STFU
Do us all a favor - be a mediocre left fielder getting paid elite center fielder money, and stay out of the business of the non-retarded.

Something to Smile About
When Jorge Posada and his ears return to the Yankee lineup tomorrow night, it will mark the FOURTH time this season that Joe Girardi will be able pencil in the lineup that was projected in spring training.
Joba Chamberlain has no respect for the game of baseball
He should be more like these fine upstanding gentlemen. Honestly, this anti-Yankees machine has GOT to stop.

Send the poor kid to AAA to work it out instead of making up injuries

UPDATE - 6/4/2008 - Sorry Phil. That injury actually sounds painful (although I haven't seen an x-ray)
Tigers Tame Yankees Again
PLACIDO POLANCO HOMERS TWICE?? ARE YOU SERIOUS??
- Melky continues to hit
- Contrary to what the YES network tells us, Andy Pettitte can not will himself to win
- Fowl Balls favorite Edwar Ramirez throws another perfect inning and awaits demotion
- Kyle Farnsworth does his best (once again) to assure Joba will never leave his spot in the bullpen
