1984 Amateur Draft Discussion

[Ryan]

We finally make a pick we (think we) can be proud of, CL Jerry Davidson. Averaged out to 6-4-5, brings 100 mph heat, and he's fairly developed at 5-2-2 and even 6-3-2 according to one of my bum scouts.

Good pick in Davidson. He was next on my board, and honestly, I wanted to take him last round.

Nice move Stu. I think you could have gotten Sandwich Round a bit later in the draft though rather than in the 3rd round.

My scouts have him rated as a 6-5-7 on the meatquality-moistness-flavor rating scale. Great pickup

Maybe it is just me...and my scouts...but there is still a lot of talent left. Especially in the hitting department.

[Jake]

My scouts like a lot of bats too, but judging by my first few picks, that doesn't mean there's any talent left out there.

[mahoney2]

There's still another 10-12 guys I'd be thrilled getting with my next pick. I just drafted SP Eros Cook two of my scouts had him at 4-4-4 and two at 5-6-6. If he even pans out somewhere in between I'll be pretty happy.

My last two picks are shots in the dark:

Ottavio Ciocchi at 106 overall- one of my scouts loved him (6-6-6) while the rest were 4-5-5 or 4-5-4. Even if he ends up at 4-5-5, he has the potential to be a starter in this league. If that one scout was right, he'll be even better.

Charles Allmones at 116 overall- he's listed as a reliever, but half of my scouts had him at a five endurance. Now, the better pitching scouts had him at a 4 but it was a gamble I wanted to take. My top scout had him at 4-6-6. The rest weren't so high on him, but I wanted to gamble. The pitching in my system is barren.

Does anybody know if the "auto pick from list" function working correctly now?

[Clay]

Worked for me.

Definitely working- all of my picks have been from my list and have worked perfectly

[Spectre]

I'm stoked to have gotten Pat McCoy with my last pick- I have four 70 rated pitching scouts, and they widely diverged on him.

Two of them had him at 4-5-7, and the other two had him at 3-3-6. Consensus wise, they have him as a guy with average stuff and movement but great control. I'm interested to see how he develops.

I'm extremely happy with my pick of Victoro Diaz in the 4th round.

All my scouts had him at 5-5-4...

What's even better is he's already at 4-4-3... so he'll definitely be skipping A ball and moving straight to AA... hopefully with a talent bump, he'll be able to contribute in the future... but by skipping A ball... he's well ahead of the curve.

[mahoney2]

My scouts had him pretty much at 3-5-5 with only my main scout putting him at 4-4-4. I was hoping to grab him with my next pick.

Yeah I think we have the same ratings... I just put control first, movement second, and stuff third... so it looks like 5-5-3... instead of 3-5-5.

Zzzzzzz......

Draft...
