1996 BLB Amateur Draft

[Jake]

Oh, I'm going to text you something dirty alright.

[Clay]

Dallas has been AUTO'd and set to AUTO

[BradZ]

Philly pick is in, Cali on the clock

[Spear]

Dukes on the clock, Davenport on-deck, Furry Pigs in the hole.

[Delandis]

Furry Pigs in the hole.

Pause, dammit.

[Dave]

Anybody want this pick? If not, I will pick in a few.

[Pat]

Interested in moving up from #76....probably targeting the late 2nd round. Or right after the sandwich round..... Mmmmmmm sandwich...

[liquidcrash]

I would also like to move up at some point. I don't pick again until round 4, so I could offer future picks, or something else if you'd like.

[Pat]

Really like Claveau.

[liquidcrash]

Claveau was the last of the pitchers I thought could sneak on to the Top 100 list. So, I would say a decent pick, had it not been Davenport that made it.

I'm not a huge fan of some of his ratings however. Really high movement rating, stuff needs a lot of help, endurance could be better. I don't get a great read on internationals sometimes, and he's from some strange other land.

[mwetts]

with three picks to go there are three guys I'm ok with... heading out so i'm setting a list. Hopin I don't have to draft the fouth guy on my list.

[Dave]

My scout thinks he has a 3 stuff ceiling and 4 subpar pitches. I don't care how good his other ratings are, that's not going to get it done.

It was a toss up between Claveau and a few other pitchers who were left. But Claveau won out because he has a lot of time to develop still and had high potential ratings in everything except his stuff. I'll definitely try to keep him as a starter to see how it goes.

Hopefully he'll be comfortable going from 2 out baseball in Canada to 3...some strange land it is.

Tweeted about our newest draft pick being from BC and now "Welcome to Kelowna" is following us.

I hope the pick makes tomorrows sports section in BC.

[Jake]

I just figured out how to make my draft spreadsheet automatically highlight the players who've been selected rather than having to do it pick by pick. I'm literally ecstatic.

Now if only I could get a better formula.
