Took this Joey Buchanan character...his stats are shit and OSA thinks he's MiL fodder, but my scout thinks he has star potential so let's roll with it and see what happens
8.20 Fred Jackson was a great pick by Pittsburgh. I was looking at him in the 5th round. He was a toss up for me every round since then. He was next on my list, surprised he fell for so long.

Finish out the draft with three players that had been high on my board for a number of rounds.
SP Roberto Jacquez has good intangibles, solid groundball % and showed great ability to keep the ball in the park. OSA isn't that big of a fan but my scout thinks he can be a middle of the rotation SP at some point in his career. His control needs a lot of work to get there.
SS Dave Holderman is someone I had been considering since the 6th round. Unfortunately, the 6/1 report my scout actually soured on his potential a bit but OSA and my scout agree that he has "7" avoid K potential. Should be a good defender and base runner and with a lefty bat, maybe someday a decent utility/#4 IF type.
And our last pick was another SS, B.J. "Mushy" Hobbs. I almost always try to go with a nickname in the 10th. OSA has his infield defensive ratings 7868 and OF 676. He's already a 7 at SS, 5 at 2B/3B and 4 in RF.

Damn you again! I liked Jacquez as well.
Glad to know that a lot of my late round picks were also on your radar.
