1989 Draft

[Carlos]

All three pitchers I wanted after Ortega just went before, to and after me.

[Jim]

I just want to find a scout drinking the same Kool Aid as Davenport...looking back at some of the recent drafts I think he's one of the better scouts. If his scout really is similar to Denver that doesn't bode well for the Pilsner.

Where did everyone have Gates? I was really interested in him too.

[Pat]

Windy City Playboys MR ngelo Gonzles - Not familiar.
Davenport Brawlers SS Gus Brown - 5/5/2/6/5 - Reminds me of Pete Summers, now in Philly.
Mississippi Storm 2B Robby Bowen 2B 5/5/4/5/4 - #16 prospect
Indianapolis Clowns RF Thom Gates - Not familiar.
Hartford Whalers SP Pancho Snchez - Only two pitches, but my scout has him 7-7-7. Potential lights-out closer.
Denver Bulls SP Ral Soto - #10 prospect. 4-6-5
Los Alamos Bandits SP Don Richmond - Not familiar.

Maine is up, then my pick. I have two players that I really, really like, so I'm ok if Andrew takes one of them.

This just says so much and so little.

Like me, your scout liked Soto and Bowen. But, you didn't even look at Gates or Richmond.

Mind boggling. I think no scout is really alike. I think the closest scout is maybe 50% similar to another scout. That's where it ends because I didn't have Davenport's pick anywhere near my list.

Also, it's probably important to ask how many guys are going strictly scout.

I have my ordered list by scout, but then I eliminated players from the list that didn't fit my personal standards. So, some guys move up higher because of that.

[Clay]

That went quick....

1.15 Dallas - 2B Loren Ashley - #19 Hitter
1.16 Windy City - MR Ángelo Gonzáles - #6 Pitcher
1.17 Davenport - SS Gus Brown - #28 Hitter
1.18 Mississippi - 2B Robby Bowen - #22 Hitter
1.19 Indianapolis - RF Thom Gates - #44 Hitter
1.20 Hartford - SP Pancho Sánchez - #10 Pitcher
1.21 Denver - SP Raúl Soto - #8 Pitcher
1.22 Los Alamos - SP Don Richmond - #14 Pitcher

[Pat]

I still have the #4 and #6 overall players still available. If anyone picking in the early 2nd round doesn't like what they see, I am very, very interested.

[Sully]

So, do I get a sandwich pick for Campoveroe? It's after the second round, right?

If you get one it would be after the 2nd. I'm guessing Andrew may have to just add it to the end but have you pick manually in the forums.

[liquidcrash]

I also had Conley as the #2 hitter on my board after Pepe. Bolam was #3, so I like that pick as well.

Still, it looks like 5 of my top 10 are still on the board. My scout must be seeing something different with these guys or they'd be long gone by now.

I'm glad to see so many others see Pepe as a top player in the draft. Lets hope it works out that way.

WAS is on the clock

[Ryan]

I really wanted Ortega, but Gates (6-7-8-6-4 with good speed and D) looks to be a good one, to me anyway. Anyone else got any thoughts on him? Clay and Pat aren't impressed. Come on, someone make me feel better.

I'm impressed that he spells his first name Thom. That's pretty cool.

Shit...I was hoping Andrew would make the decision for me between my two guys....

That was actually the deciding factor between Thom and someone else that would fully develope as a first rounder should.

That was just too easy?
