The article is written like a blog with personal opinion and no references. Since the draft occurs every year, it would be better to cover in articles on Yankees' seasons. BRMo (talk) 01:49, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete Completely unencyclopedic, reads like a blog (the Derek Jeter section says it all), appears to list their best picks which is WP:OR and obviously there are no WP:RS listed or out there really. Any draft coverage should be on the individual season if at all.--Giants27 (c|s) 02:00, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Note, the Jeter section has now been removed, here's the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yankees_Draft_Picks&oldid=301476944 version] with it, because otherwise I'll look like an idiot referencing a non-existent section.--Giants27 (c|s) 02:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete I can't say anything constructive about this, so I won't say anything. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:03, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

:*Comment Okay I had a minute to collect thoughts. If the point of this article is to discuss how the Yankees allowed alot of good players to leave the organization by trading them for overpriced veterans (which is the best I can figure), it missed the mark. Omir Santos? Brandon Boggs? If anything, talk about Fred McGriff and Jay Buhner, those are the most widely known. That said, I think this talk should be incorporated into existing articles, and doesn't need its own article.--Muboshgu (talk) 02:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete It doesn't fit any speedy deletion criteria, so regular deletion will have to do. The purpose to this article is really impossible to figure out. Resolute 22:40, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
