The Mets take Witchita State RHP Michael Pelfrey with the #9 pick in the draft. He had an 11-2 record and a 1.47 ERA in 16 games with Wichita State this year. He struck out 121 batters in 117 innings, allowing 24 walks and 75 hits.
Pelfrey is a power pitcher with natural sink on his fastball that has been timed at 97 mph and usually is in the mid 90s. He also throws a changeup, one he has mastered in the last two years that can unsettle left-handed hitters.
The Yankees take Putnam City HS MIF C.J. Henry with the 17th pick in the draft. Baseball America ranked the 6-foot-3, 200-pound Henry as the second-best high school athlete in the draft, behind only Justin Upton, who was taken first overall by the Diamondbacks.
Henry, who turned 19 on May 31, was a two-sport star at Putnam City, excelling in both baseball and basketball. He hit .481 with 13 home runs, 41 RBIs, 52 runs scored and 21 stolen bases in his senior season while averaging 22 points per game for the hoops team.

Crankee Yankee Post:
Quantrill only throws one pitch, the meatball. Good thing we got him for $3 million. Milwaukee has the best bullpen and pays each guy like the minimum.
Pavano has 2 pitches, the straight meatball and the sinking meatball right in the middle of the plate. At least we got Douchebag.... err I mean Kevin Brown. I'm just worried about our defense when he pitches because the balls are so scorched they might take someone's head off.
Randy's slider doesn't slide at all. It just hangs there for someone to launch into the upper deck.
E Rod should be playing SS. He sucks at third. He still strikes out or pops out in meaningful situations. Keep padding your stats buddy when it doesn't matter (ie Seattle, Texas).
I just fell down from the wind gust generated by Juiceambi's wiff.
Bernie is D O N E!!!!!!!!!!!! done done done. See his grey hairs lately?
Jorgay is a DP waiting to happen.
Tino is old again...... |

Yeah. Sounds great for the Yankees.
I love the Pelfrey pick. I wanted Craig Hansen, but oh well. Hansen was picked by the Red Sox, so hopefully he will cause havoc amongst Yankee hitters for years to come. :wtf:
I like the Graves signing too. I mean... 300,000 this year with a 500,000 buyout next year. Can't really go wrong. |

| Darn, Pedro had a no-hitter going into the 7th inning, but then gave up a home run |

Which works in our favor now because he can retaliate for the Floyd plunking. :toothless
Pedro is amazing. |

| His curveball was really dropping tonight. |

| Honestly, I thought we had one tonight. I had that feeling from the first inning that this would be a no-hitter. Oh well... we still have another 3 and a half years of Pedro. :cD He's insane. As of now, he has better stats than in his 2000 season (greatest single season pitching effort since 1880). He's on pace (hopefully it lasts) for the greatest pitching season EVER. |
