[BradZ]

Untimed now? Nothing says people can't go ahead and make their selections right here in the thread!

[Clay]

Always an option. People shouldn't feel pressured to, but they can.

[Dave]

Yeah, might as well get this over with. The talent pool this year is an absolute shit show. My scout sees exactly 0 hitters with +5 contact potential, 1 hitter with +5 eye, and only 4 hitters with +5 power. As usual, there are plenty of two-pitch relievers with potentially great ratings. But I only see 3, maybe 4, SP who will likely amount to anything.

I know I say this a lot, but seriously, for realsies....this is an awful draft class.

[Carlos]

What is this draft you all speak of here?

God I hope the Intl free agent class isnt diluting the draft pool.

[BradZ]

God I hope the Intl free agent class isnt diluting the draft pool.

I think it's the opposite. My theory: The INTL FA's started showing up because the talent coming through the feeder leagues isn't sufficient.

Don't pretend you don't have 4 meaningful picks in the back half.

[Carlos]

Don't pretend you don't have 4 meaningful picks in the back half.

I'm going to grab some gems.

[mwetts]

another 'Doorbell'?

[mwetts]

so if I'm ready to make my selection do I just post it here?

[BradZ]

Sure, you can do that if you wish.

[Lintyfresh85]

Did my draft formulas for all the players... class looks about the same, talent wise, as last year.

[mwetts]

With the first pick in the 1999 BLB Draft the Pittsburgh Millers select:

SP- Ian 'Divine' Fain

[BradZ]

With 1.2 Philly selects:

SP Yoshiharu Nakasone
