Damn, I was hoping Philly and Pawtucket would both go pitching and Woodbury would fall to me.

Damn, I was hoping Woodbury only showed up on my draft board and would fall to the 19th pick.

I'm hoping to get someone that can at least crack the majors with the #19 pick.

I kind of liked your idea of turning on scouts so that way we all have slightly different ratings and can assess players differently. This way we can almost pen in who is going to go to which team for the most part.

It would also make draft pick trading a little more valuable. People wouldn't look at my pick as the #19 pick, but rather as another 1st round pick that they could possibly get a blue chip pick that their scouts rate high.

Yah, I agree. I think turning on Scouts and Coaches is a must for season 2. Coaches will also affect how your players develop so we should see more sleepers/busts where right now almost everyone in the top 5 will be a quality player.

We should order Judson Gill's HOF plaque.

YES! I was hoping you'd warm up to scouts. TOTALLY makes the game more immersive.

ANd thanks for that spreadsheet of the players, gonna make it a lot easier. I'm glad everyone was up for a forum draft. I think using the Power Rankings was the right call.

It started off strong enough. Let's hope it picks up tonight after people get home from work.
