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

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.

We've tried to do another year of college stats but whichever way we do it will kill the draft for a year.

If my guy goes, 1.25 could be had for two quality seconds, or perhaps a first next year...

Sorry for the delay. 1.24 we take Erik Peterson. This was one of my tougher decisions. Hopefully it's the right one.

With the 25th pick we draft RF Pat Fiume. I liked the combination of potential, he's already fairly developed, he has good intangibles, and he can play really solid outfield defence which this version seems to really like. I hope I don't regret passing on the pitcher I considered here. Not that it matters, my first round players not named Morla usually bust out anyways.

Move him to CF.

You prick Hank! That was the pitcher I was debating on...

Williams was right there. Control scared me away.

[Pat]

Phillips was the top pitcher on my board.

Makes this pick easier. I'll field offers for a few minutes.

[Hank]

My scout HATED Williams. Had him rated a 6/5/2 but OSA loved him.
And looking at his stats, I'm really hoping OSA has it right.

My scout seems to be more intune with OSA when it comes to hitters, but his ability to identify pitchers scares me.

[Pat]

Pick in 3 mins.

[Hank]

Nice pick with Jimmy Collins.
I really liked him too. Great stats, and OSA and scout were bang on about everything except for gap (4/4 compared to 6/6).

[umd]

Good get with Collins. Looking at him at 2.8

[Pat]

He was a finalist for 1.17 - happy he was still available

[umd]

LAD, DVS, DAV start round 2

Damn, just moved Collins up my draft board. Oh well.
