There has been a trade. Syracuse is now on the clock at 1.6.

Like I said, Pillsbury was not my top rated hitter... But I feel like he fits the organization plan better than my #1 guy.

Took SP Travis Skinner out of Oregon State.

When I made the trade, ironically, I was trading up for someone else. But a last minute second guess made me go with Skinner, who I really like. I'll be back around at 1.14, so hopefully I'll have a couple guys left.

Might have overpaid, but got a top flight starter IMO. Thanks liquid.

Man the draft has been the more unpredictable (according to my scout) than it has been in a long time. Nice to see a few differences of opinion here.

That's a glowing review of the Skinner pick.

Nah. Skinner is good. I just prefer strikeout pitching a bit more. You can't argue with Skinner's production, especially his WHIP. Good control and movement, but questionable stamina. Seems like he has the potential to be a Tim Nathan caliber of pitcher(well without the stamina), and that really isn't a bad thing.

I think Skinner is a fine pick. I'm not a huge fan of his "stuff" rating or his pitches. But he's performed very well in all 4 years in the feeder league, he's somewhat advanced and has a durable tag. This is the range where I thought he'd go.

Dallas took Hector Duarte. He's high on my scout's list (#3), but I don't like him nearly that much. Great power and solid speed, but I worry about the rest.

My scout thought Duarte was one of 4 players in the draft with a 7 power ceiling. That's gotta count for something. He also thinks his eye has plateaued, which probably means he's also going to strike out a lot. But a RF who can throw and hit home runs will always have a place to play.

Same here. He was in my scout's top 5.

[Jake]

Anndd.... I forgot to check something on Skinner I just saw that I don't really like. Hopefully it doesn't matter.

[Pat]

Bats are looking to trade up from 16....


As for Skinner, I like the pick. I had others above him, but he willbe solid. What was the flaw Jake? Low stamina?

[Delandis]

I'm going to go with his projected BLB role.

Yeah... My scout says 3 on stamina...

[Delandis]

Mine gives him a five, but strictly bullpen. Mainly due to his low stuff. But he also calls him a future #3.
