1983 Rookie Draft

[rubisco43]

Maybe I should make my next pick into a poll question since i can't pick until 3pm, any suggestions?

I'm ready to go...maybe we switch picks?

I'm not sure I can take the wrath of the Trade Announcements forum.

[Jistic]

LMAO!

Ok time to pick now!

LOL. That's funny. But sad. But funny.

Andrew - We talked last year about autoing after Round 10... is that still happening?

[Clay]

Nice pick on Acuna. He's a nice player.

No. People are free to go on autopick whenever they want (and will be placed on autopick by me if they miss a pick) but anyone who wants to draft all 15 rounds is more than welcome to.

Cool. Thanks.

Loved Acuna. #1 on my board at this pick. Would've loved for him to slip.

So assume we're stuck for awhile now?

"I'm going to give you all some bad news. I had to take a quick trip out to AZ, and with that I don't have my game, nor did I create a list yet for me at 12. I also don't anticipate being home until about 8:00pm+ tomorrow evening. So, needless to say, unless you get to pick twelve by 12:00pm tomorrow, I will hold things up. If you do get there, well, I'm fucked cause I have no idea who it will take for me. Such is life!" --Whaler

dangit. i forgot about this.

So.... talk amongst yourselves....

Thoughts on the first 11 picks????

[Lintyfresh85]

Mac Avery is the only one who will ever make it. Sure fire hall of famer.

Either that, or....

He has a career ending injury in his first start.


Truth be told, I think Clay has improved the most through trades and 2 picks in the top 6 this off-season. In a few years, I could see VA running things in the BLB. *Shudders*.

[Dave]

Nice pick with Acuna. Had I gone with power instead of a leadoff type, he would have been my guy at 9.

That's a little strong... but I liked the sounds.

Magness and Tracy were #1 & #3 on my board. I think they both could be in the show by the end of next season. Magness should be a future ACE and Tracy could slide right into Leftfield if I don't pick up the option on Dunlop. That being said.... Brode and Brown could very easily be better than both... and Knight has the potential to be the best player in the draft.

I have my sammy pick (#25) in 13 more picks and I have about 6 guys that I still absolutely LOVE. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I think we are about 3 or 4 batter picks away from seeing a huge run on pitching. This draft is SO thin on bats. I love that though. I love that it's not some set in stone thing where you have exactly x amount of quality bat prospects and the same amount of arms.

Good times so far.
