Taylor's trial postponed again as No 1 pick recovers
Yankee prospect Brien Taylor, the No. 1 draft pick of 1991, faces misdemeanor charges from a December fight. The trial was delayed for a third time due to co defendant Ron Wilson's attorney in Superior Court, with a new date set for Sept 19 in Carteret County. Taylor, who dislocated his shoulder, remains optimistic about a return to pitching, aiming for the Yankees AAA affiliate Columbus next spring if his rehabilitation continues. Brendon Taylor and Charles Johnson face related charges, and Wilson faces assault with intent to injure.
