Wow, did we get ripped by the faux Mike and Chris show! Absolutely trashing my Melky pick. While it may be true that he was drafted a few rounds too early and that, yes, I did submit a list of draft choices to the commish for him to make in my absence, I think there was a little bias by the author in that piece, lol. And come on, Kei Igawa? A great pick? Has anyone been watching this guy this spring? I mean, I'm a yankees fan too, but the guy had an e.r.a over 9. He's not fooling anyone out there. And let's not crown Matsuzaka as the next great pitcher in baseball yet. I saw a name come up in that piece before (Hideki Irabu) and If i recall correctly, he was touted as the Japanese NOLAN RYAN. Bit of and overstatement? I think so. So we will see. But in the meantime, I'll stick with a 22 year old Melky on my inelligible list. With an aging and injury plagued Yankee outfield, he has just as good a chance as those other two unprovens to become a legitimate DMBL star in the future. GO BUDDAH!!!
