So I guess Matt Harvey at 30? 5 minutes until we find out for certain. -Jitpal

YES! BRACKMAN!!!!
Posted: Thu Jun 7, 2007 8:53 pm
This kid is big, 6'10 230 and can throw 99 mph. Sounds like a nice pick for the Yanks.

elbow concerns , but a high upside

Fastball: Brackman threw his fastballs 92-97 mph, both a two- and four-seamer.
FB Movement: His two-seamer had plus life and was effective in the zone.
Curve: Brackman features a knuckle curve that he throws 78-81 mph. It was inconsistent on Friday, largely because of the cold weather (35 degrees).
Changeup: Brackman threw his changeup in the 82-84 mph zone. It's an average offering he keeps around the strike zone.
Control: Brackman commanded his two-seamer extremely well, hititng the inside part of the plate at will. His command of his breaking stuff was less consistent.
Poise: Brackman competed very well and went right after hitters in his debut.
Physical Description: Big, former basketball player who shows impressive athleticism despite his size.
Medical Update: Healthy.
Strengths: Above-average velocity on his two- and four-seam fastballs, with plus command of the two-seamer.
Weaknesses: Command of his curve. Brackman will need to show he can throw his knuckle curve for strikes more consistently. It's a difficult pitch to command and while hitters in college will swing at it, professional hitters will lay off if it's out of the zone.
Summary: The concern with Brackman heading into his first full season as a baseball player only was how durable he would be. The former basketball standout had never spent an entire college season as a starting pitcher and he ended up being shut down with a tired arm late in the year. Still, the pure stuff, including a 97-mph fastball when he

Good stuff guys. His elbow is a concern. Still angry we didn't get Porcello but he looks solid. -Jitpal

sucks we couldn't get Porcello but Brackman will be cheaper and could be the steal of this draft

When is the Yanks next pick, because that Harvey kid might fall to them again?
Posted: Thu Jun 7, 2007 10:22 pm
I doubt we get Harvey...
Posted: Thu Jun 7, 2007 10:44 pm
The way he is dropping, they might.
Posted: Thu Jun 7, 2007 10:45 pm
I wanted Harvey. But his dad babied him this year. As far as I know he pitched once a week, most of the time on 6 days rest. I like my pitchers that are drafted to have proven they could be durable. I don't know about Brackman
Posted: Thu Jun 7, 2007 11:02 pm
I cant believe we just passed on Harvey with a pick in the 90s
Posted: Fri Jun 8, 2007 12:20 am
dont know much about Brackman but looks like a good prospect. He was never a full time pitcher so they need to get this kid conditioned and bring him along slowly
