YANKEES GO YARD: MLB Mock Draft 2024: Yankees eyeing Tennessee slugger Billy Amick?
In previous iterations of MLB's 2024 Mock Drafts, they've had the Yankees selecting switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje out of Mississippi State, who is said to resemble Marcus Stroman from the right side. Cijntje must be on helium alert these past few weeks, as he's now projected to be selected by the Braves two picks before the Yankees first appear at 24.
Of course, the Yankees should've been picking 10 slots higher than they actually are, but were penalized for blowing past the CBT threshold. They were also penalized for acquiring struggling, expensive players for all of last season by the entire rest of the league. Shouldn't their poor record be punishment enough for misallocated funds? Sounds a little like Double Jeopardy.
MLB still contends that, if any pitching talent with a first-round grade slips to the Yankees at 26, they'll probably draft an arm instead. Current consensus is that's unlikely to happen, though, and the Yankees will gladly take the consolation prize of an SEC third baseman who vaporizes baseballs.
