2023 Draft Utility is live - Draft clock starts Friday Sep 15

[liquidcrash]

I'm up, but won't be able to make the pick for a little while. If you're interested, send an offer and I'll look them over before making a decision.

After much debate, the Bats have selected Dave Richardson, a starting pitcher from LSU.

Positives - Richardson led the NCAA with a 1.80 ERA this season. He's a lefty that throws 95-97 MPH and has the potential to throw three great pitches. He strikes out a bunch of people and leads the NCAA in lots of categories this season.

Negatives - He's only had one good season. He's got a lot of work to do on that third pitch and he's not going to throw deep into games.

I'm also still interested in trading up into the next few picks if someone wants to move down or out. Shoot me a PM if so.

Went with CL Ian McManus at 1.26.

I feel it might have been a bit early but he looks good, he's local and we have a major need.

Had a feeling C Galindo would go to Z. Take away DV obvious pick, Z got some dam good hitters in Galindo & Battaglia. Whats worse is they can actually field not just sit at DH.

Nice first round my friend.

Thanks.

I think J.P. Smith will hit the crap out of the ball, too. I felt reluctant to take a first baseman in the first round but I felt like I couldn't pass up how well he'll fit my ballpark. And at least he should be a pretty solid defensive first baseman.

Draft pool screen shows you career stats maybe?

Nope, can't get career stats on the draft pool screen.

Brisbee, Penfield, Jenkins were top on my board

[liquidcrash]

Very nearly went with Penfield with 1.25. Not sure if my pick was the right call still.

When do we start with the 2 hour clock?

[Pat]

Third round.

2.11 on the block

Windy City went with C Jamie Pitstick, we will really need to set up a real draft board for the future

[Hank]

Brisbee, Penfield, Jenkins were top on my board

I really liked Brisbee. Glad to have him. It was between him an another catcher. Hopefully Bisbee was the right choice.

[Pat]

Looking to package picks to move up

Went with SP Johnny Davenport, his work ethic is in the low side, but he should be a good starter someday, he was selected for the 2022 all star, my Scout has him 6/7/6 potential and OSA 7/6/5, I wouldn't mind either if he fully develops, only good things in his development sheet... Let's see if he can learn another Pitch in the process.
