I'm also looking to grab an extra pick in the early 9th round. Can send an 8th.

I'll make that trade with you if I had an early pick.

The biggest project of my group is LF Jimmy Hoff.

Every other player I've taken has a few good qualities that I think will lead to success (of course realizing that some are fool's gold). I'm being optimistic in a draft where the players come out weaker and need to develop.

Jimmy Hoff looks like a mess according to OSA. But my scout absolutely loves him. I don't see it. He couldn't hit in high school. Could barely get off the bench for his team. Very low work ethic, no leadership skills. Can't field. Just a smart guy that wants to win.

But I figured what the heck! If my scout loves him this much, let's put those development dollars and my coaches to work and see if Sanchez sees something big here.

Impressive how he managed to go exactly 3 for 16 at the plate in each of his two years in high school.

We grab two middle IFs that my scout really likes this late. 2B Dylan Bell and SS Tom Hamby. They probably will amount to nothing, but it didn't take much effort to get the picks. We also have one guy left to grab with PAW pick after PHI.

Can't be any worse than an auto pick, right? So it might as well be someone you chose that fails.

I do like his consistency.

Exactly.

Fortunately for Carlos he has a knack for choosing guys that fail.

That hurts.

The Bulldogs trade a future 9th to select LF Jaime "CHOW" Petty. He is a Carlos guy and he's got a nickname.

OSA hates him and he was terrible at Eli Whitney but my scout thinks he's a clean up hitter with an elite eye so.......

He'll more than likely be terrible but this is what 9th round picks are all about, right?
