1990 BLB Amateur Draft

So the answer would be no.

[Matt]

It's in my sig now.

That's just mean. The sad thing is this game keeps me awake at night. I want to win...just can't quite figure out how.

[Jim]

I know I'm on the clock....if I don't make a trade I'll get it in around the time it's due.

That's why you can never quit.

Sin City takes CF Gene Crews of FSU. We had Dixon and Madocks ranked higher on our draft board, but Crews is a nice consolation prize. He's a bit of a free swinger for our tastes, but his power potential and fielding ability at multiple OF positions have us feeling good about taking him 14th overall.

Man I was hoping he'd last a little bit longer (That's what she said).

I won't ever quit. But I was really close last night to just setting everything to AI controlled and watching the ride.

There's no fun in that. If anything, try out new combinations that might spark some wins from your team.

I honestly think you've put together a nice team this year Matt. I think you'll win your share of games.

I did call you one of the top run organizations in the BLB today. That's worth something, right?

[Lintyfresh85]

Matt just needs some pitchers that will continually put the ball over the plate.

[Jim]

My pick is in...Jud Miller.

[Delandis]

Looks like we have an outside chance of hitting round 2 tonight. Btw, love the Melendez pick.

PICK ANALYSIS:

Batavia Muckdogs select Al Hamilton (RF) -Maine West High School (1.9)

OSA Current: 2-2-2-2-2
OSA Potential: 6-4-6-7-8

What We Know:
- 1.391 Career OBS
- 1989 HS Outstanding Hitter
- 20 career K's in 426 PA's

What We Like:
- On-base machine with a nice splash of power
- Legit lefty stick
- Above average speed and defense potential

What We Fear:
- Currently injured, so we have no sample size since going down
- HS players can be crapshoots
- Never underestimate the "Bustavia" factor
What We Think:
If he hits his potential, he's a poor man's Mel Woodbury at the plate. Doesn't have the same speed or defense as 'Doorbell' but is no slouch. Batavia has had bad luck with prospects, but still are widely considered one of the best Ownership groups in the BLB. With patience, they could have a Superstar on their hands.

Great write up(s) Clay and great pick Matt. This was the guy I wanted to trade up for. S-T-U-D stud IMO.

[Pat]

I want to apologize in advance because I'm about to hold up the draft. I just read a bunch of new stuff (while at work) about the development of the 3rd pitch for SPs and about international scouting. So, I'm going to drive home and try and get my pick in ASAP. Sorry for the delay.

Also, if you are interested in the pick, feel free to shoot an offer. (1st round picks in next years draft expected)
