2022 Draft Utility is live - Draft clock starts Wednesday 7/12

Dumours was mine!!

I love the fit in Baltimore.

He's got a lot of development left (according to my scout) and he is going to be one of the worst fielding 1B in baseball but if you get the ball rolling now, maybe we will have the DH in the IL by the time he is ready.

We'll see.

He's only 16 and pretty athletic. He may surprise us defensively with some actual playing time on the field. But if he doesn't improve, we could probably overlook that aspect if he's hitting 40+ HR and stealing 15-20 bags in 2027.

WTF?

That is hilarious.

A few years ago I stumbled on that video and it left a mighty impression.
Right up there with the Cleveland tourism promo's.

I'm a huge fan of Damours. I think he could be the next Dunn.
Great pick.

Thanks. I'm hoping for FF with speed, but Dunn will suffice.

Pick in a few reloading a list for my picks to 2.8. 2.3 is available for a future 1st.

Good selections on the pitchers especially Dunn and Wade. I wasn't a big fan of the middle IFs mostly because they all look the same to my scout. I actually think I could convert Tibbs to SS and I may have if I had landed Lyon.

This is an interesting draft so far - pretty much chalk with more guys I like going higher instead of dropping.

[Pat]

Just smoke it, yo.

Watching the first three rounds of the draft without picking while sitting here in last place doesn't feel great.

To me the draft is too much fun to not hang onto as many picks as possible. I think you can usually get a better player value for trading a pick but it's a lot of fun to be involved during the draft.

Thats kind of interesting as I wasn't a huge fan of the pitchers with the exception of Witte and your kid. 3B and SS have seemed solid. Even a few catchers I'm a bit shocked haven't been picked. The pitchers left all had huge question marks and again today pitchers seem to bomb more then before.

Then again I've done alot of head scratching past few seasons so what do I know?

[funclown]

Lol, Im also very addicted to catchers in general cuz I draft so many in hopes of hitting on one dam guy.

[umd]

There are some interesting C/1B/corner OF the problem is they all look the same nowadays with contact-gap-power it seems 4-5-6/5-5-7 with the 5 most likely a true 4 or everything settling at 5-5-5-5-5 or something.

[Matt]

Well I moved the messages...where they went I don't know.

[Guest]

I like the obfuscation of the ratings as they are now. Hey, where'd that conversation go?

Anyway, I'm, uh, just gonna throw out that I'd much prefer another year of college stats before players enter the draft.
