1996 BLB Amateur Draft

I'm just teasing. Indy's had your number for years.

Laugh it up, Clown.

You are on probation.

I had Rodriguez as an interesting 3B/IF based on his production, defensive ratings and some of the best intangible/personality ratings I've ever seen.

Outside of him, Virginia has picked a few guys I liked. They have a way of doing that.

I was all set to pop Rodriguez with my sandwich pick right behind Morgantown. I liked his 3B/power potential combo.

Whoa. Check the avatar.

Round 4 one pick away as NOLA is on the clock for the last sandwich pick.

Happy to see Shell fall this far.

He's should be end up being at least a decent reliever, and if anyone is a good candidate to get that 3rd pitch, Shell would be that guy.

I liked him. He was on my short list of the guys I was contemplating taking with my first pick in the draft.

First thing we plan to do when he gets to Orlando is have him cut off that ridiculous horseshoe on his face.

Hartford OTC BTW.

And now SYR.

In. Took MR Tyler Tunnell with our first pick in this draft. Hopefully he gets that 3rd pitch.

Our latest pick Dave Kirkpatrick may not ever amount to anything but he had two days in a row to remember....

Kirkpatrick was first in my queue for what it's worth.

I definitely notice we're all on the same page draft wise now. Tons of guys that go right after I pick or right before that I (would have) considered at a certain spot.

LL's pick of OF Cecilio Tescari reminds me of former BLB'er Galterio Tibaldi.

Both from Italy, both could make it as 4/5 OF'ers.

Ironically, I believe players that were subsequently picked by other teams were actually higher than Tescari on my auto draft list. (And I'm positive it was set to auto pick from the list.) So the utility may have drafted the wrong guy for me. I can't say for certain. I need to see my scout's list and I don't have access to the game right now.
