Nestor Cortes, late-developing NYY 36th round draft choice, on the mound today. Though I detest the NYY, gotta give them a big edge today because of Nasty Nestor.
Cortes was a Rule 5 pick from the Yankees by the O's, who ended up returning him to NY. Then traded to Seattle for Intl Bonus Pool $$, only to later be released.
Back to the Yanks and the rest is history. Be nice if we had a story or two like that!
Three day rest. Cortes is gonna be a twice through the order guy. Maybe.
