re-drafted the Yankees in the 2000s
Last week I and it led to some interesting what-ifs.
What if the Yankees drafted Adam Wainwright instead of David Parrish in 2000? What if they took David Wright instead of John-Ford Griffin in 2001? What if they selected one of the five All-Stars taken in the 50 picks after the Yankees drafted Andrew Brackman in 2007?
It was a fun exercise, and since I’m still bored in quarantine, I took a crack at the 2010s. For recent years (really anything after 2015) it’s not fair to say a pick is a lost yet. Heck, even the Yankees’ 2010 1st round pick — which was a bust — is only 27-years old today.
2010 Draft
Yankees 1st pick (#32 overall): Cito Culver, Shortstop
