I'm a former copy editor, forgive me.

The Yankees chose Joba 41st in 2006, the highest pick for any American Indian player in the history of the college draft. Starting the season with the Yankees' single-A affiliate in Tampa, he streaked through their system -- double-A ball in Trenton, N.J.; triple-A in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pa. -- in what seems like less time than it takes to drive from Florida to the Bronx.

Jacoby Ellsbury, the 23rd overall pick in 2005 and a Navajo, begs to differ.
