1985 Amateur Draft

[Jistic]

The vibe I'm getting is that we all pretty much have the same scout. Not a lot of guys slipping. You'll get the occasional one that your scout was really wrong on, but that's about it.

[Clay]

See I'm getting more of the vibe that there are essentially two different scouts and the teams are about split down the middle. Seems like all of the guys coming off my boards are in groups. Like in the first round.... they were all in my top 20... or somewhere in the 65-85 range on my board... but grouped together very specifically. That leads me to believe that half the scouts saw "X" group... and half the scouts saw "Y" group.

The vibe I'm getting is we are throwing darts.

[Clay]

I'm really good at throwing darts....

I'm really bad at drafting....

Let's hope you're right.

I'm really good at drafting and really bad at darts.

Hopefully I am wrong.

And THAT SP that I just drafted, Lucien Lavoie, was rated 5-4-5 by my scout.

Your minor league trophy case is going to be full of hardware. Lucky you.

Hey... I don't think there's any way to tell either way....

Even with the old system... I've had at least two 1st Rounders (Top 10) to not make the show... and last year's Top 10 pick looking to follow that path.

It's such a gamble no matter what the system.

That. I've had drafts in past years where I think I'm doing really well, only to have those guys tank in less than a year.

So, if all these guys end up sucking, at least I'm consistant.

They go on the shelf below the Brewmasters Championship Trophy.

Don't worry, you can always buy yourself a trophy for winning 60 games.

Nice. Apparently the Hartford Braintrust decided to pick SP's with every pick while I was away on vacation. I'm just going to let them run with the idea.... no SP's for the rest of the league! Muahaha!

Oh, and I'm back.

Sorry guys. My daughter had her tonsils out today and I thought I had my list set.

Ehhh, tonsils. I was in first grade when I had mine taken out. I can remember it like it was yesterday, it was the worst. How old is she?

3 1/2.

She got the tonsils and adenoids out as well as tubes in her ears. Apparently the common practice these days is to do a partial tonsillectomy. The Doc said that it speeds recovery and is overall a better procedure. I don't know about any of that but she was eating curly fries within 3 hours of the surgery!

LOL, three hours? I couldnt eat anything that wasnt liquid within the first two or three days. Glad to hear she's doing well.

Maybe we're all right.

Honestly, 5's all across is pretty much average, no?

Maybe the talent is getting better, slightly.
