1997 BLB Amateur Draft

[Gyrodork]

Reasonably happy with my first two picks, given that I was # 19 in the rotation. I've just thrown 40+ names into the draft list based on stats. Once that list is exhausted, it's time to put Mr. Fluffles and his magic litter box to work.

Went with Angelo Munguia in the 3rd.

Passed on a guy I liked, but who wouldn't really have a home in our system. Munguia is lazy as shit, but one of the last guys in the draft that OSA really likes - 5-8-7-5-4. Decent fielder, great arm from the OF. He'll probably never get there, but it was worth a shot here.

Maybe your glowing review of him will inspire him to get his ass in gear?

He is going to own C.J. Carr in A ball.

Yeah? Is he going to take him for a ride?

Mississippi just took the #2 hitter on my scouts board.

[Carlos]

The best hitter is still available according to a complex algorithm only Jim Bowden and Brian Sabean share.

Did your scout happen to mention that right after MIS took the #2 hitter off his board that you were on the clock?

Based on his first statement, would you believe anything his Scout said?

[Jim]

Just switched to auto--not sure if it will take though since my clock had already started.

Not for nothin', but I was hoping to draft Eddy Hernandez later this round. Like his makeup and intangibles.

At first I was disappointed because I figured someone else nabbed him.

Now I'm like cool, let's see how bad he ends up being.

Mendieta is a potential beast by my scout's analysis. He has him at nearly 6's across the board. I doubt he reaches that potential but his ceiling is similar to that of Francois St. Laurent on my squad. Really happy to pluck him. Felt like a got lucky with SP Pat Nuse who was probably the only guy left in the draft that I think can be a starter. He's a few years away though.

So far, I'm pretty happy with the draft.

Ended up with another international reliever with Neal. Should be pretty good, but we're going to have a log jam in our bullpen.
