The Yankees currently have a projected starting three of
CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Andy Pettitte. Hughes was supposed to check

I was doing a mock draft with a buddy last night, and he had the fourth overall pick. This is probably the most interesting pick in the entire draft assuming Trout, Braun, and Miggy go one-two-three in some order. The fourth pick can go any number of ways.
