After 4 consecutive pitcher selections, Yankees GM Dave Simpson nabbed the premier power hitter in the draft in LF Hank Sauer. The Bronx Bombers will feature a lineup spotlighting sluggers Sauer, Ralph Kiner, DiMaggio, King Kong Keller and young Yogi Berra in '48, a truly awe inspiring collection of talent.
Rumor is that both the Dodgers and Cubs drafting next had Sauer at the top of their respective draft lists. Time to reshuffle and reconsider for these two NL powers.
01. Richie Ashburn CF Phillies
02. Robin Roberts P Tigers
03. Roy Campanella C Browns
04. Carl Erskine P Giants
05. Mike Garcia P Reds
06. Ray Boone SS Pirates
07. Stan Lopata C Braves
08. Carl Sawatski C Athletics
09. Johnny Antonelli P White Sox
10. Billy Pierce P Senators
11. Ned Garver P Red Sox
12. Mickey McDermott P Indians
13. Hank Sauer OF Yankees
