Addison Maruszak won't return to USF for his senior year after signing a professional contract with the New York Yankees, as reported by St Petersburg Times USF beat writer Greg Auman.
Auman reports that Maruszak said he expects to report to Staten Island, where the Yankees have a short-season rookie-league team that begins its season next week.
It's a long, winding road to the majors, but Maruszak has been drafted at a time when Yankees GM Brian Cashman and Yankee ownership seem to be committed to making a youth movement. If Maruszak can prove he belongs at shortstop during his stay in the minors, he could be a possible successor to Derek Jeter, who turns 34 this year. The Yankees' other potential shortstop, third baseman Alex Rodriguez, turns 33 this year.
