How good is this kid going o be? I don't expect him to be great now obviosly, but do the scouts predict him to be any good in the future? I havent heard much about him.

He's not a blue-chipper, but it's conceivable that he could eventually find a home on the Yankees, even if it's just as a LOOGY.
He's really not that young (25), and his being drafted in the 26th round is a pretty good sign that the Yankees weren't looking for a Cy Young winner. He did undergo Tommy John surgery a few years ago, which obviously hurt his development, but he still hasn't come along all that well. I know he had that cup of coffee with the Yanks last season, and again this season, but he's not going to be anything beyond a servicable lefty.
I don't have my Baseball America book here at work, but most rankings I've seen have him somewhere between 20 and 25 on the list of top Yankee prospects.

SINCE SEAN HENN IS 25 HE HAS A GOOD CHANCE TO BE 26
NEXT YEAR. SERIOUSLY IF HE TRUSTS HIS STUFF HE COULD BE IN THE BIGS WITH SOME TEAM. BEING DRAFTED IN THE 26TH ROUND IS MEANINGLESS. PIAZZA WAS ONLY DRAFTED AS A FAVOR TO HIS GODFATHER
TOMMY LASORDA & DON MATTINGLY WAS PICKED SOMEWHERE IN THE FORTIES.
