Most crime is victimless. Basically I'm just a combo btw a garbageman and babysitter. I work my 40 hours, do what I can, then live life.

I can respect that.

Ty Scott starting in the BLB? I'm sure your scout loves him but slow down there champ. Considering the discrepancies in the different scouts views, I couldn't imagine starting anyone off in the BLB unless his OSA ratings, scout ratings, and draft list ranking all pointed in that direction. Even then I still wouldn't.

My scout blows but he has Scott at 3-2-2 right now.

He means he thinks he can be a starter in the BLB someday, not starting right away in the BLB as a RP.

I'm an idiot.

Javelina's 3rd Round Pick

1B Ivan Quezada was the #5 or #6 bat in the pool, according to my scout. Unfortunately, my scouting budget was cut in half because of the crappy budget my owner sets. So my scout could be smokin' some of JJ's roller coaster enhancer, for all I know. Still; even if he only realizes 75% of his potential; he should be good for .265, 15 - 20 HR, 15 - 20 SB in the majors. Since we can only afford 1 or 2 star-quality players anyway; I'd be happy with 6 Quezadas in my lineup.

[Spectre]

I liked Quezada too

[Carlos]

If he becomes a star, his nickname should be Que Nada.

Grr...Raul Mireles went off the board 5 picks before me.

I settled for C Ruben Pagan...scout has him at 5-5-3-4-4, which isn't bad for the 4th round I guess.

SP Kel Murphy - 4/6/6

Scout actually had him as the #4 overall SP in the draft. He is really raw, 2/2/2, 17-years-old, but my scout thinks he is a sleeper.

He's a 3-3-4; you'll be able to pick up three more just like him in the 8th, 9th and 10th rounds.
