2059 Draft Thread

[Mr. Radpants]

Pretty pleased Greer was still around. Interesting player, close to ready. Lowish ceiling I guess.

I'm glad we draft earlier now. We literally have over two weeks to get this done. I can't even get mad about a commissioner taking over 12 hours to make his first pick

 

[Wolfman21]

Well...I dunno when he picked...but he did.

@doh

 

[osick87]

How did I go a day without checking this site

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

What a bizarre pick.

 

[doh]

I'm making pick(s) now... unless someone wants to trade. Then I won't. Either way will do this soon.

 

[Yankee151]

I'll kick the tires, what do you want? Don't have picks to give but could send a prospect or a WBL player not named ToGo or Rubio

 

[Yankee151]

Going to do my draft grades babby, let's see if I can make it past double digits!

[Yankee151]

Assorted prospects but not the huge names unless I'm getting more

 

[Yankee151]

These guys who are just inexplicably benched by their feeder teams are such mystery men. Schauwn picked one last year but hasn't played him either so I can't tell what to think about their ability to start developing

Thanks for your swiftness!

 

[Yankee151]

I have it on good sources that doh was in trade talks with a mystery team that ultimately fizzed out.

When will your sources unveil expansion teams for the Big XII, shirley they have a line on that?

I yield the balance of my draft time to @Karl Hungus

@Wolfman21

I got one of my Spreadsheet Warriors, so I'm happy. 3rd best bat in the draft according to OSA. He's not a SS but he hits switch so he can play well in my park and he could play either LF/RF or possibly 3B as long as his range stays or improves!

No joke, I had him on the BIG BOARD along with the CHOKIE I picked and Greer.

Yup, he was #1 on my remaining wish list. I think I know who I'm gonna pick, but need to double check the actual sim

@Orlando

my scout likes reardon alot more than OSA and honestly, i thought he was already off the board. My scout has him as a 4* prospect with 65/60/65 ratings in OF, 50/55/50/50/55 with the bat and 80/80/60 baserunning

I was 50/50 between Reardon and Henty. My scout has him as a 4* too.

 

[Yankee151]

I gave Henty an A+ fwiw. Awesome player.

My scout had his contact a bit higher (60) so I had him on the board too but then I traded up for the CHOKIE, who will probably break his back mowing the lawn and never make it out of AA.

[Yankee151]

I'm pretty sure the sharing scouts ratings doesn't apply to stars, which aren't color codes and thus don't count.

[Mr. Radpants]

Stars are the only rating that matter.

 

[Orlando]

@jdlikewhoa

 

[Soonerfan09]

We ain't supposed to talk about ratings other than OSA?

 

[Orlando]

How'd I do @Yankee151?

 

[Yankee151]

The punishment is Rad saying BANT, so if that's worth the risk then go for it

An BANT

 

[Yankee151]

My initial mobile assesment says decent but I have to look further to see what else is available. If that guy has to move to 1B it might be a little rough

Borg has enough leaders. This ain't a rebuild, son.

if that guy moving anywhere it is to CLOSER WITH 80 STUFF

Closer and an extra pinch hitter bat, what a time to be alive.

 

[Yankee151]

Oh that's that guy? shit then it's an A- at least for being a sherewd move.

 

[Soonerfan09]

How big of a deal is it if a player is considered Fragile?

We must be looking at different Juan Elias's.

 

[Yankee151]

For pitchers it's usually a dealbreaker, hitters it depends how far they've fallen. On the other hand guys like Cliff Potter have fallen and been drafted fragile and carved out good careers.

 

[Travis7401]

ABORT ABORT, Juan Elias was the other LHB 3B that I found intriguing. The RP is another guy.

 

[Orlando]

AVOID. Leave them all for me.

I'm not sure if that's been fixed or not but guys used to get the label if they missed time with a strain but wouldn't after the fourth concussion.

 

[Yankee151]

It's because concussion has less effect on proneness iirc

I better pray the baby Jesus that's true, de Keizer has turned out to be worth that 3rd round overpay for his D in CF.

no

Not sure what an unbolded trait would mean, less serious than bold I guess.
