    It happens at time when autopicks happen. It works itself out eventually.

    • So Pawtucket got a little nuts there with trades for 8th rounders. Here is why......

      8.1 C Robby McHenry- My scout has him 5-5-7-6-2 and has big upside as a catcher. Why does my scout think this?? No clue. Based on what I see he couldn't even start most of his high school career. Still why not.

      8.2 C Dane Favara- OSA has him at 5-5-3-5-5 we have him at 6-5-5-6-5 and already a showing 5 for contact. Lefty catcher which aren't really easy to find. Now....just like McHenry he sat on the bench alot. Looks like he can also play a little bit of usual hiding spots (1B,LF) . Nothing statistically tells me he can play baseball. Another 8th round low risk guy.

      8.6 LF J.R. Smith- Actually looked at this guy at round 4 and he was still there. Interesting kid. His 10 homeruns last year at AZ state and OPSd a solid .927. OSA a 4-5-6-5-4 us 6-5-6-6-3 and the staff raves about this kid. Smart guy, but thats about it. Probably a part-time drug dealer.

      We made some very low risk moves to get these players. Never hurts to have too many catchers and guys with power potential. Be fun to see if any of these guys venture into the team's top 20.

        • 1B Sammy Campagna is a good pick this late. Long shot, but he was high on my list.

            • Cota had also been on my Top 10 for probably the last three rounds.

              It's all long shots at this point. I'm only losing 1-2 players off my Top 10 per round for instance.

                Cota puts the ball in play and has great speed. I figured he's worth a shot. It helps that he profiles to be competent at seven positions and already has experience at five of them. Works hard. And hey, a .289 batting average with an .838 is pretty good for a Cape Cod League player with those gifts.

                  It's a good pick for this late. Had I not traded 8.1 to Pawtucket, he's probably headed to Seattle.

                  • I feel like I have had a good draft. But considering the players I landed weren't picked earlier makes me worried about my observation! haha

                      No real surprises. The guys that OSA loves debuted high.

                      In Seattle, only my two 1st round picks made my org top 20, Seymour at #16 and Broadbent at #7. Not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing.... is my org just so deep? Or was this draft class just that awful after the 1st round?

                      • OOTP 17 seemingly made significant changes to how the top 100 is calculated, including when guys debut. I don't really understand it yet or really have any grasp for how it's working. But, I also thought this draft was pretty weak.

                        My second round pick, Kazufumi Fujii checks in at #7 on my Top 20. Since I didn't have any earlier picks, I'm fine with that. The rest of my draftees have a lot to prove for me to consider them good prospects. I think my minor league system is ok, but I'm also not sold on the new guys.

                          I think OSA ratings weighs heavily in this new version along with Catchers and Centerfielders.

                          As posted in an earlier thread Pawtucket gains a Catcher from round two and a SS from round three. Without a 1st this season I cannot be upset at this as we now ranked #7 and have had as many as 6 pitchers in the top 100 as recent as last week.

                          When looking at our farm system we feel really good about a decent many of our positions players and developing some power hitters which we think will be important for Pawtucket 4.0. Where we feel weak right now is a true Ace pitcher and bullpen arms. Just don't have a warm and fuzzy in those areas right now. Also......2B and RF can use some work.

                          Its a new world though and trusting the top 100, what your scout says and flat out using your own judgment.
