1991 BLB Amateur Draft

[Dave]

By the way, F Hyundai for taking the last guy on my board, Jake degruchy. Though we were a little alarmed by the fact that his last name contains no capital letters, so it's probably just as well.

I've had lousy drafts in the past while drafting for intangibles, so this time around we're looking for raw talent and we'll let the intangibles sort themselves out after the draft. Not totally ignoring them of course, but definitely placing a reduced emphasis on them this time around.

I'm pretty sure prior to OOTPX or maybe it was even OOTP11, the intangible ratings were just cosmetic...

[BradZ]

They do? He's smart, loyal, unselfish, and a hard worker. Seems like the kind of guy you'd want on your team.

My scouts take - "His teammates tend to find him arrogant and condescending" = shanked.

degruchy was the last guy I remembered my scout loving... sadly he got picked before I could snag him.

I was scared off by his low work ethic though.

I've seen plenty of guys with talent in my system either stall out, or lose potential after years of waiting for a break through due to low work ethic.

I've seen plenty of those guys too, but not many guys who suddenly develop talent because they worked really hard. So in this draft when given the choice between talent and a low work ethic, or little talent with a great work ethic, I'm drafting the former.

@BradZ - Oh well. You can win with those guys.

I actually like him quite a bit too. He was top 3 left on my draft board.

[Pat]

Windy City's pick, Eddie Resendez, was #1 on my board.

Don't hate on how long it's taking and then not have your list loaded when you pick three spots later.

Sorry, I blame my cold and falling asleep. I forgot to check auto.

[Clay]

No pressure as I know things will pick up, but we're 4 in game weeks away from the draft.

[Jim]

Prez let me know I was on the clock but I'm on auto.

[BradZ]

I get the feeling there are several teams that think they are set to autodraft but for whatever reason it's not actually happening.

Denver is on Auto from List so his list must be empty.

That's kind of what I figured. The utility really should switch to just plain autodraft if the list is empty. It's not just DEN either. Several good, active owners obviously seem to think they are set to autodraft, IMO.

[Carlos]

Yea, I don't see the option to AUTO at all so I figured it would auto if my list was empty. Still not sure what to do.
