1986 Amateur Draft Discussion

Yeah, we were trying to get it fuzz in the util but there was a minor issue. It would fuzz the ratings, but since you're not loading a true html or asp page but a perl script it would have a different # everytime you refresh. Wouldn't be difficult to figure out after a few refreshes.

It is fuzzing the autopick so you may not get the best guy on autopick.

AUTO BY LIST for the Snappers at 2:30p (Clock expired at 12:06p)

Sorry, had a baseball game this morning and forgot I had moved up in the 2nd.

Hartford has my scout. I loved Chapman.

Yeah he wasn't my highest rated pitcher, but pretty damn close. He's 22, rated as a 3-4-3 right now, and projected to be a 5-6-5, so hard to say no to someone that close to being ready.

[Pat]

Someone needs to trade me their pick.

[Delandis]

With the 61st pick in the draft the Baltimore Bulldogs select the 17-year old Cuban,

Ivan Garcia.

The 2nd player that both my scouting team and OSA agree upon. I'm hoping they are not both wrong.

[mahoney2]

I had him as my 2nd best MR in the draft.

I got an official...



for him.

Went with Colm Engle here. Didn't want to take a reliever here but his potential is too good to pass up. Our scout has 'em as a 5-6-6, while OSA has him at a 6-8-6. Feel pretty good about that.

Hoping the other guy will slip to the next round.

That's who I would have taken if I had traded for your pick. Had him as the best pitcher pure numbers wise 8-8-7. Pure Closer.

[Riverman]

Dang, you guys - stop taking all of the relievers I want. That's three in a row I had on my list for the third round.

Good sign.

My scout had him 6-6-4. He was on my priority list.

Nice pick. Not who I was trading for however...

[Delandis]

Is it me, or is there a bigger consensus amongst scouts this year?

[Jake]

I don't think there is... i just think the people who do agree are talking more.

[mahoney2]

Is it me, or is there a bigger consensus amongst scouts this year?

That's my feeling. I'm not sure if more people are using the draft list or if increasing scouting budgets helped?

[Riverman]

Is it me, or is there a bigger consensus amongst scouts this year?

I agree; there have not been nearly as many picks that were surprises to me.
