Intriguing pick by Yanks

With the 1345th pick, the Yankees selected switch-pitcher Pat Venditte from Creighton University. Yes, a switch-pitcher! No more need to matchup handedness during the late innings of games, and just having Venditte saves a valuable roster spot. (This is all of course assuming that he ever signs with the Yanks and makes the majors, but I'm pulling for him.) He was second in Division I college baseball in appearances and fifth in batting average against. He also led his team in era (1.88), strikeouts (99), innings (95.2), hit by pitches (13) and wild pitches (8).
