The thing about the MLB draft is you can have a real dedicated strategy, like the year the Angels only took pitchers or they Yankees this … Read more
To end Day 2 of the draft the Phillies take Brady Day from Kansas State. He was listed as a shortstop, but played exclusively at second this year, but has been all over the diamond in his time. Day was selected in the 12th round by the Braves last year, but didn’t sign. He hit … Read more
