1982 Amateur Draft Discussion

I was really hoping Reed would just keep falling. Good pick.

[Pat]

Ended up taking Miguel Angel Padilla, the power hitting OF.

He has decent speed, and good intangibles. A project at 16, but I like him.

[Riverman]

I just took Ivan Solis, Windy City is up.

[liquidcrash]

Good pick with Solis, I was probably going to pick him if he was available. I think I've got my pick, should have it in shortly.

[Clay]

Good Pick on Negron for CHI. I think he's a sleeper. As much as a late first rounder can be a sleeper.

[Clay]

Don't know who Davenport is about to snag at #21, but I really like their first round based on the 2 they got and what's left.

[liquidcrash]

Made my pick. Davenport's back on the board. Now to figure out who to take with my sandwich pick.

[Andrew]

I have my pick narrowed down to 2 players. Hopefully Davenport doesn't take the guy I want more.

[liquidcrash]

Well I was hoping he wouldn't pick Solis, but that didn't work out. Hopefully Ramirez will be a good one, my scouts like him. I have to get some good prospects in this draft, my past drafts haven't gone too well and my minors are pretty bare right now.

As are mine. I have a few decent relievers and thats about it. Our only bright spot is Kubota, who is one of the best catching prospects.

[Jistic]

Draft utility is broken. That wasn't my top pick.

[Dave]

All the other players I was considering (Padilla, Solis, Negron) went after I took Ford. I guess that's encouraging in that it proves my scouts know what they're doing. Ford's intangibles are relatively poor, but I don't have much coming up through the system at 3B and my scouts were more agreed on him than on any of the other players and I wanted a power bat out of this draft.

[Andrew]

You may resume picking!

[Andrew]

Everyone should re-check their preference list and the list of who was picked. Because we back tracked a few picks, a guy you wanted might end up still being there.

With Ramirez off the board, I went with Cy Kirkpatrick. He's a reliever, but all my scouts love his potential, so hopefully he can turn into a dominant closer in a couple years.
