Robby Rowland to the Yankees?

Frankie Piliere, the National MLB Analyst for Fanhouse, has a post up in which he wrote the following:

"UPDATE (6/6 - 1:50 AM) - Yankee fans are desperate to hear what their team will do at the back of the round. Now, there is some real noteworthy information rolling in on New York's preferences. High on their short list is prep right-hander Robby Rowland, according to sources. Rowland is a tall, projectable hard thrower and would be a very interesting gamble at 32nd overall. It's difficult to tell if they are looking at him with their first pick or the 82nd overall pick, but he doesn't figure to be available that low."

Rowland is also a star basketballer at Cloverdale High as well as a member of the Bay Area Hoosiers club basketball team.

Here is a Santa Rosa Press Democrat feature on Robby.
