1985 Amateur Draft

[Andrew]

Some more info...

In OOTP 8 almost all prospects were overrated by the scouts, we have changed that in OOTP 9... in fact, the whole scouting engine has been rewritten, so you cannot really compare the two anymore In OOTP 9, when the scout favors tools, then he's more likely to overvalue the player... and if he favors ability he'll more likely underestimate the talent.

You know you just crushed all of Clay's hopes and dreams right now.

Back... and looking through the list. One second.

[Lintyfresh85]

I hate this... I'm changing my pick.

With the sixth pick in the 1985 draft the California Kodiaks select Catcher Jared Austin.

[Sully]

Didn't you draft a C in the 1st last year, Linty?

With that said, my scout loved Austin, had him rated the best offensive player in the draft. However, his size scares me. He's little.

[Lintyfresh85]

Yeah, Cisneros, the #9 best prospect in the BLB... Austin isn't staying at C, I'm moving him to a IF position... not sure where yet.

Reason I went with Austin is... my scout has him as the second best hitter... and he's fairly developed.... 3-3-3-3-4. With an 8 in work ethic... I have a feeling he could move quickly in my system.

[Sully]

I hope that position is 1B, or I wouldn't count on him moving too quickly.

Syracuse takes SP Raul Perez.

[Pat]

Dang. I wanted him at #12. Nice pick J.

So LL is on auto right? So Wilmington is up?

[Clay]

Put the Perez pick in (Andrew asked me to help).

[Clay]

BTW - Austin was the hitter I had as 8-7-8-7-8, Linty

[Sully]

I had Austin at 8-8-8-8-7

[Clay]

I hit AutoPick by List for Los Lunas and nothing happened, so I'm guessing he has no list.

[Jake]

Dang. I wanted him at #12. Nice pick J.

So LL is on auto right? So Wilmington is up?

My scout had him 6-8-8, kinda a "Ironfist-lite." But he's also stupid - a 2 in intelligence; and lazy, a 2 in work ethic and a 2 in leadership.
