*OFFICIAL* 2001 BLB AMATEUR DRAFT

[fsquid]

rather have the power than a good eye in my book.

[Dave]

Still looking to move off 1.19. Would rather have players than picks. Looking to improve basically anywhere but the bullpen.

[funclown]

We usually get to the 18th or 19th pick after day one.

Must be a confusing draft to many.

[Dave]

It's a nice tradition we've established whereby the same teams hold up the draft every year. Makes every draft feel like slipping on an old, comfortable pair of shoes.

[Matt]

I made a list and turned my pick to auto for 2.1 because I was afraid of holding people up while I was asleep all day.

What was I thinking!

I've never seen NY hold up the draft before.

[Jake]

My scout has Villarreal even better than Pat at 67735, but OSA finds him functionally retarded which is why I went D'Orio instead. But, if he hits, Villarreal will be the better player.

[Jistic]

Vilarreal was the other player we were gonna take. At 9 we were taking a shot at all or nothing. If we wanted more of a sure thing he would've been it. The catchers scared us off a bit, and with Foglesong only in his rookie year I'll take our chances with him.

This.

[Matt]

Poor good doctor. There is nothing easy about residency...hope he gets a decent player.

If not at least he has the satisfaction of being richer than everyone else in 10 years.

[Jistic]

Two auto picks in the first 12 picks. Not sure we've had that before. More evidence that Funclowns idea that we should expand is another well thought out one.

[Dave]

Astimbay was the #2 player on my scout's board. Can't field, can't run, and may always strike out too much, but my scout had him at 6-6-7-7-4 potential.

[Matt]

Wow I didn't even have him on my list. Way to go $15m scouting budget.

Looks like Carlos is rebuilding with some arms!

[Dave]

Wow I didn't even have him on my list. Way to go $15m scouting budget.

I spent less than $15M on scouting, so I wouldn't automatically assume that it's your scout that doesn't have a clue.

Nice get by Carlos, grabbing the SP currently experiencing his 3rd minor arm injury.
