1983 Rookie Draft

[Riverman]

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

Thoughts on the first 11 picks????

I also had Magness and Brode as 1 and 2 though reversed from what actually happened. Probably Clay is right though that Magness being a little older is a big plus for him.

It didn't sound like many agreed with Carbajal at #4 but I had him as a clear choice at that point. I would have even considered him over Knight if both had been left then.

I also had Acuna going higher than he did.

I was pretty happy to grab Acuna where he was. I honestly didn't think he'd make it past 8-9 or so. My only problem with him is that he is 21 and still very raw with a 2-2-2 current ratings where most guys that age are 3-2-3 or so, but another year wont hurt him in A ball.

No worries, I would've snatched him up in an instant.

The time should be fixed now. As I said before my server is in MT. I added code to the utilities that tell them to run in Eastern Time. This fixed the Export Tracker as well.

So those not in ET, keep in mind that the utility is operating in ET not your local timezone.

Jeff, you stupid hick, lets go. Everyone's waiting, the fields will be there in the morning.

Blow me Mahoney.

Just got home from the airport. Should have a pick within the next 30 minutes. I'll post when I do.

[Whale]

Done. You may all continue with your lives.

I liked Chuck Lindsey a lot. You made us wait... and took my guy. Dick.

You never would've seen him. Great pick.

Crap. Nice pick Dino's. Wallace was the best pitcher in the draft according to every single one of my scouts. This guys the definition of 'cant miss'.

[Clay]

Wallace is a stud. I was sure California was going to take him early and try to convert him to a Starter.

Quick question.. Sato signed with another team for 8mil a year.. isnt that eligible for a sandwich pick?

Agreed, my guys all had him as 7's across the board. I just got sick of always drafting MR's in the first round. Solid smart pick.

My average for all scouts was 7-7-8. My 80 rated pitching scout says 8-8-8. This guy will be a nightmare, complete lights out.

No, it starts at 9 million.
