If you are reading this, know that I am quite tired from a day of helping coordinate Yankees MLB Draft coverage — which was splended, in my opinion — as well as a stirring 4-2 comeback win by New York in DC. Oh and there’s always the undisclosed personal stuff too, which was fulfilling! But yes, I am tired.

So that’s the vibe. By the time Day 2 of the draft begins though, I’ll be caffeinated and ready.Today on the site, it’s a big ol’ Draft Dump Day!

Rounds 5 through 20 are today, so Madison, Jake, and I will have coverage on all those picks, grouped into three different posts (Rounds 5-10, 11-15, and 16-20). Additionally, Scott will discuss erstwhile Yankees prospect Carson Coleman’s return to the organization this year after a couple years of injury as a Rule 5 Rangers pick, Peter will write up the latest Rivalry Roundup, and John will celebrate the birthday of a former Yankees reliever whose career seemingly just ended within the past couple years: lefty Chasen Shreve.Today’s Matchup:New York Yankees vs.
