We’re grinding through our 2010 Draft recaps as the summer winds down. We’re on the New York teams this weekend. Mets come before Yankees. Steinbrenner bought everything else, but he can’t buy the alphabet. It wasn’t for sale.

The Mets selection of North Carolina right-hander Matt Harvey with the seventh pick in the 2010 draft reminds me a great deal of the club’s selection of Wichita State right-hander Mike Pelfrey in 2005.

One of the new features we have planned for Baseball Beginnings is called Big League Beginnings. Here, we’ll catch up with current major league players to discuss their memories of their earlier years as draft prospects and minor leaguers.
The big leagues are a pretty tough place, to be perfectly honest. It’s a dog-eat-dog workplace where most guys know that if they aren’t good all the time, they won’t be there. Confidence is a must and so is experience. Players are guarded, but many of them keep those early years close to them.
Speaking of players, here’s one: Mets third baseman David Wright. Click here to see him as a high school player a decade ago at the Area Code games. You can also find this new feature any time across the top menu bar.
