    My scout had Dodson as a very solid player...

      6-6-5-5-5 here. Looks like one of the better hitters in the draft to me.

          Are you serious? You had him as something like 7-8-7-8?

          I had him at 6-5-4-4 and would have expected him to be a mid to late first round pick. I suppose if one absolutely had to have a 3B, he would be in the conversation (according to my scout) at #1.

          We'll see how the rest of the draft goes but so far so bad with regard to a realistic scouting system. As far as I recall, there was never that much variation in who the early picks should be in the earlier versions of this game or for that matter IRL.

            mine had him at 6-6-5-5-5. i have a few others with 8's across the board on hitting. so this is definitely gonna be a crap shoot... or, i'm gonna put 100% into amateur scouting after this season.

              My scout is an 80 for hitting.

              He says 6-5-5, "Could be an offensive force with some refinement" for Dodson.

              Mind you our draft history is pretty bad so it's not always best to listen to my scout.

                I understand the argument about there not being that much sway in reallife... but the difference in real life is that you actually get to see them play. I know this is new and different, but I think the jury has to still be out until these guys start playing.

                  There is no 80 for hitting anymore... it's based on what segments they scout better. You also need to account for the five steps of favoring.

                    Ok Mr. Smarty Pants, well he's a 25 for teach hitting? Now what do you got to say?

                      What is this teaching hitting you speak of? We've never heard of that in Virginia....
