1988 Draft Discussion

Hmm, well I always thought he was in the game. Maybe he wasn't.

Either way, I'm happy to have him.

I'm thinking he was new also. I'm pretty sure the guy I got, Conan Barry, was new as well.

I believe you're correct on that one too.

So, there are "new" players in the utility, that likely would have gone a round earlier?

There appear to be some players... yes. However, most of the one's of quality (by my scout) have gone in the last 15 picks.

Gotcha. Haven't been paying much attention at all since I don't pick until the 4th round.

[Ryan]

New players for sure. Not sure they would have gone in an earlier round though. Sure it depends on the owner though.

I do feel fortunate that Conan dropped to me, for what its worth.

Geez, 4th? I thought I had it bad.

I'm not sure that's correct. He's the #3 Pitcher in my copy of the game, so there's no way I would have missed that name when I put my Top 10 on my Draft Board.

Maybe... I guess... just seems weird that I would have missed him that many times that I saw my board. Doesn't affect me personally, as it wouldn't have changed who I drafted. Just thought it was strange.

He's always been there. It was easy enough to ID the 24 new guys, he's not one of them

Do tell??

I think Zander was new. When I asked my scout to redo the draft list, there were only 4 new guys in the top 50. Lonnie Bird was the best in his eyes of the new guys.

I always drop the draft list (and other reports for that matter) into Excel/Access because you can't sort multiple columns in-game (or at least I don't know how to). Plus it's much easier to filter IMO in Excel or Access.

So, I had the old list and I created a new one after the new guys were added. After that it's easy to find the differences.

Zander Foster was in the original list as well.

I had Foster on my list from the beginning.

Wow...my scout has Bird 8/8/8.
