re: *Official MLB Draft Thread* Updated with signings

Here's an article with some quotes from Palladino. I'd be very surprised if he makes it to campus.

“It’s a phenomenal day, a dream come true,” Palladino said. “I’m a diehard Yankees fan. To get drafted by the team I grew up watching and going to see as a little kid, it’s crazy. “I was sitting in my kitchen. I had my laptop out. I had a couple of my friends over and my family was there. We were sitting there, watching it, as the phone calls came in. It was an intense moment. When we got the call, we went crazy. We were throwing things. We were all excited.”

“We’re going to start negotiating, go from there and see where it takes us,” said Palladino, whose fastball regularly reaches 92-93 mph and has been clocked as high as 96. “This has been a dream since I was a little kid, playing T-ball. If everything’s right, I’m going to want to sign and start my professional career.”
