Draft Pick Discussion

[liquidcrash]

It says the next pick is due in 2 days...do we get Sunday off?

No. But it could be taking into account that I'm going to be using the full 12 hours I've got allotted for my remaining second round picks.

Man.

Just when I was going to nominate Pat for 1995 Asshat of the Draft, you have to come and steal his glory in one fell swoop.

Blame Jake.

He just took the highest player left on my board. Now I have to recalibrate the metrics.

[Clay]

Good pick by 'Cuse. I see Dugan as Top 100.

[Delandis]

I'm down to two also. Didn't see that Dugan was gone to Syracuse. He was my "hidden gem". He has this weird combination of OSA ratings that make him look like that headscratcher Top 100 guy. My bet is half the owners will say they didn't ever have him on their board.

Just moving the conversation.

I'll be the first to admit he wasn't on my board, although he was the next pick I should've made (following Katsura) according to my scout. You will hardly ever see me take a chance on a guy that had a poor performance in feeder leagues.

I have three categories I use....

1) What my Scout says...

2) What my experience with OSA says...

3) What the Feeder League stats say...

It's not those exactly in that order... but depending on the round... I'll weight each one more significantly.

As I said in the other thread, HS stats are strange. His ERA+ was fine (not overpowering, but solid), the K:BB is there. It's just such a hitting-friendly level. I like him. He's fragile, and his stuff isn't great, so I figured he'd fall to me. He'll throw harder as he gets older.

[Jake]

I actually took a chance on Dugan because frankly, it didn't all add up with him.

4 for stuff, but a great K:IP ratio.

#60 pitcher on my board - which leans heavily on my scout, 60-75% perhaps - but #10 on my scout's in game draft board.

I ended up taking the guy over the #5 pitcher on my board (which I only use as a general guideline), who I considered at #14 but just aren't totally convinced on. I figured Dugan had enough going on to take a risk.

What put me over the top was those horrific BABIP numbers. Over .400 three of his four years.

[Carlos]

I hope this decision works out for you, Jake.

[Carlos]

Two things:

I hate my pick of Clark. But it's whatever. Maybe he'll grow a third arm.

Second, I put 88 players in my list. I'm already down to 54. This didn't happen last year.

[liquidcrash]

I still like both of my picks.

I don't have anyone on my draft list at the moment. I plan on being around to make these selections. I'm getting antsy here.

Trying to get back into the 2nd round before the sammiches. PM me if you want to drop down.

[funclown]

So far my scout is in love with Maine's draft picks. Had what my scout thought was the #1 pick Niato late in the first round. Then the bastard stole a LF in the second round who was projected to go late first round.


Lol, compared to Maine's previous first rounder in 94 who ended up being cut this draft should make up for it. Good shooting soldier!

[Matt]

Well Carolina is up...then my pick...then sleep time.

Anyone think my sandwich round picks (3.4/3.5) will come up in the next 10 hours? I hate picking from my Q order already. I need my beauty sleep and it was a long night.

[liquidcrash]

It's your pick.
