1986 Amateur Draft Discussion

[Pat]

It's time.

[Matt]

I had mine set to pick and it didn't work. My guy is still on there...can I please have him. I had a late night (found out my friend at work's wife died in a car wreck) and I just woke up!

If so please select SS Shawn Miner.

Thanks!

[Clay]

SPOT had an issue the pick before.

I think we're going to take a quick TIME OUT and get everything sorted out.

[Andrew]

Should be fixed now.

[Pat]

Love the Duane Porter selection. Nice pick Spot.

[Matt]

Thanks Andrew. I believe it was operator error and I made sure the auto pick using list has been checked and saved.

As I said another crappy night. The guy is driving home from church and gets rear ended by a car going so fast it pushes him into the sidewalk and flips his car. His wife is crushed and dies on scene and he is transported but is fine. He is probably the nicest guy I have ever known. He never yells, never curses, is just a constant professional in every way of the word. Now he's lost his wife and has 2 teenagers to raise on his own. Sometimes things just don't make a lot of sense to me.

Love the Duane Porter selection. Nice pick Spot.

I was all set to pick Porter myself and I thought he was mine. Oh well, I guess I'll go with a guy my scout thinks should have been picked a long time ago. Maybe I'll find out if his ratings have any resemblance to reality or not.

Loved Shawn Miner... one of the Top 6-8 hitters on the board by my scout.

So the CF I drafted, Weeks, I have a 6 range, 6 arm and 6 error with 7 running speed, 8 base stealing speed and he's a 4 defender. How does that work?

[Pat]

Experience.

If you play him at CF through the minors, he will definitely be a "6" or better as a defender.

Sorry to hear about that Matt.

Here's another one with Porter on the top of my list. I think he'll be a solid reliever.

[spot]

Thanks for the Porter love, I'm glad I got him.

Sticking with the reliever theme: Phil McSwain is selected 75th overall for the Bandits.

Someone finally took Jonathan Robinson. 1st Round talent by my scouts.

Our scouts must be twins.
