1994 BLB Amateur Draft

[Sully]

I told you he would go top 5.

You were right. I thought the quality of pitchers in this draft would allow him to slip, but I was way off. As said, it was a great pick.

I liked Simmons, it's hard to find SS prospects.

Carolina takes Jonathan "Bananas" Burns.

New Orleans now on the clock.

[Jimmy]

SS Dusty Simmons off the board. Great pick. Loved him and would've taken him if Keifer weren't an option.

I was afraid you would since you were looking for help at that position. It's why I tried to get that pick from you. Plus power from a SS with speed and defense?! I couldn't ask for more.

[Delandis]

Looks like I probably didn't have to make that trade to get my guy.


Oh well, we really liked Vleugel's dominance. 200K, 18BB, in 94 innings. At any level, that's just amazing.

[liquidcrash]

I honestly thought I'd get Vleugel at 4. I like him.

[Carlos]

New Orleans now on the clock.

Simmons was the best hitter in my opinion.

I love Burns's nickname. Bananas.

[Sully]

I liked Vleugel, but there were 3 other pitchers aside from Keifer I would've taken over him. Bananas was one.

[liquidcrash]

Simmons was the best hitter in my opinion.

I love Burns's nickname. Bananas.

Agreed on both points.

Simmons is clearly the best hitting prospect in this draft. To top it off, he's a legit SS.

Bananas is an awesome nickname. I'm not doing it on purpose, but that's 3 straight years I've taken someone with a nickname with my first pick.

[Clay]

Legit Middle IF's are the most precious commodity in the BLB.

I was first to blow the Nickname horn loud and proud. It's a tell. I'm sure of it.

New Orleans drafts SP Alex Martinez out of Havanna, Cuba.

Now get to work on that changeup, son.

New Orleans drafts SP Alex Martinez out of Havanna, Cuba.

Now get to work on that changeup, son.

#1 overall pick according to my scout, but as stated, he's got to work on that third pitch.

[Delandis]

He could start for pretty much any team in the league right now.

[Carlos]

New Orleans drafts SP Alex Martinez out of Havanna, Cuba.

Now get to work on that changeup, son.

And there's my favorite pitcher.

[liquidcrash]

Most "ready" pitcher in the draft. I worry about that third pitch forcing him to the bullpen, but I like him otherwise.

[Carlos]

5 of my top 8 have gone. I'm still left with my #3 pitcher and my #2 hitter. Here's hoping I land one of them.
