Yanks to face top pick this Saturday
Published 3/6/2008 by Mike A. at River Avenue Blues » River Avenue Blues, A New York Yankees Blog
... Times is reporting that David Price, the first overall pick in the 2007 draft, will take the mound for the first game action of his professional career this Saturday when the Rays visit Legends Field. The big lanky southpaw reminds me a bit of Andy Pettitte, but he’s got much better pure stuff (low-90s heat, wipeout slider and sinking changeup). The game is on YES, and should be fun to watch regardless of who’s throwing for the Bombers. (hat tip to Jason at My Baseball Bias)
