Thank you for confirming my thoughts on Avila.

Thank you for confirming my thoughts on Avila.

My 80/80 scout had him at 6/5/6 with a great groundball ratio plus 6 endurance and 6 holding runners... I would have gone with him, but I wasn't sure anyone was getting the same reading I was. Wanna trade?

I was a bit surprised to see SP Milo Davis still on the board for my 2nd round pick. My head scout loved him and I thought he'd be gone at the end of the 1st. Nice to grab a SP, can't ever have enough.

As for Avila, my head scout had him at 4/4/5, that scout has an 80 in potential pitching I believe. However, he's not had a great track record. I can't see my other scouts ratings while i'm at work.

That was my consensus rating for him too.

My pitching scouts had him a 5/4/5...apparently didn't like him as much as some of you guys.

My scouts had a pretty good consensus for both Avila and Davis.

5-4-5 and 5-5-4

I know I'm on the clock...I will try to make my pick around 5 central time.

i think 5 central is late

[Andrew]

Yes it is, pick is due at 5:14 ET. That being said, I might not be around to autopick then so you might get away with it.

[Jim]

Damn...I just got around to this and saw it picked. I thought it was 8 hours....then went to the main post and saw 4 hours for 2nd round and after. Oh well...I guess it's a good thing I have another pick this round.

[Pat]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Steal of the draft by Mr. Clay Shaver.

What are people's feelings on this draft class? I think it's a lot deeper than last years, but maybe its just my scouts.

At first glance i wasn't very impressed. Seemed the top level talent, especially in hitting wasn't there. After going more in depth though, the draft seems very deep but loaded towards certain positions.

Plus a lot of 16 year olds, which would be good for HrfdWhale...

I've actually been drafting from a middle school pool of players... fits my team strategy better

Just a reminder... if Baltimore, or Dallas, don't pick right away because their utility has emptied... they're asking for scout pick as they're all out of town this weekend.

Edit: Checking the owners forum... I guess add Hartford as well!
