2013 Yankees Draft Signings Update For 6/15


The Yankees have signed a bunch of their lower round selections in the 2013 MLB First Year Players draft and will assign them to minor league camps and teams soon. The list includes RHP Andy Beresford their 19th round pick, RHP Alex Polanco their 23rd round pick, RHP Dillon McNamara their 27th round pick, and 3B Chauncey Sumner their 32nd round pick.


In other news the Yankees also signed the top Ivy League free agent to go undrafted Tim Giel. Tim is a right handed pitcher with big upside that is expected to sign for less than the $100,000 slot recommendation for all undrafted free agents. The four pitch right handed control pitcher relies more on his command than his pure stuff but for the price it is worth the shot for the Yankees and for Giel.
