Wow...my scout has Rios at 3-3-4 potential.

I'm beginning to think he's pretty worthless.

My guy had Rios at 4-4-4

noted scout Ramon Bonzales shows Rios with triple 4's as well, but I'm pretty sure he is on the take and is accepting $'s from other teams to feed me misinformation.

These comments make me sad...

My scout was all but getting down on his knees slurping Rios. Said he was a can't miss prospect on the mound that should be an ace for any team or something to that effect as a 6-7-6 potential.

He is a lefty with high Int and Work ethic plus 20 years old...looked like a no-brainer to me.

I had 7-7-4 potential.

He'll be fine.

I'm very interested to see how Davenport goes here. They have so many picks in the first this year. They will be monsters in a few years if they get the right guys with the picks.

You gotta go with your guy. My scout has loved plenty of bums, this could end up being a great pick. No worries.

I apologize for the delay. I know who I want to pick but I am not 100% sure that I remember his name correctly. I'll have to wait until I get home to look at the game.

Perez was at the top of my board; my scout had him as 8-8-8-8-6.

This.

You win some, you lose some.

You can only go with the information that you have.

I've chosen SPS Glen Jones and Romano Jacopino with 3 & 5, the Dinos chose CF Rod Miners with 4 and the Bulls picked SP Willie Stevens with 6. The Pats are up.

Glen Jones was #2 on my board after Perez. Good pick.

Jones was at the top of my draft board as well. My scout loves him. Sorry Riverman, that's probably the kiss of death.

Scout's take: As close to a can't miss prospect as you'll ever find on the pitching mound.

Scout's rating: 85.43
