with the Yankees for $250,000.
Texas high school outfielder Taylor Grote, eighth round ($250,000).
From Baseball America;
Taylor Grotes stock has slipped a little, as scouts say he doesnt get the barrel of his bat on the ball consistently. Hell have to make adjustments to his stroke, adding more lift and reducing a bat wrap that makes his swing too long. Grote is athletic, but he may not have the speed to play center field or the true power to play on an outfield corner. He makes plays on defense, though more on instincts than pure range or arm strength. He has kept his college options open by committing to both San Jacinto (Texas) Junior College and Texas.
