1981 Amateur Draft Discussion

[Andrew]

How does Auto work in the draft utility? How does it determine best available?

I have no idea. I assume it goes off ratings, but we have the ratings scale set to 1/1 so all players are the same. After that I'd imagine it's pretty much random. I won't be using auto-pick, but others are welcome to do so.

There is still 10-15 legit guys according to my scouts.

After that, I have plenty of those "fuck the other scouts", but I also have a bunch of 20/20 guys targeted.

[Jistic]

Yeah I'm still in this for a few more.

Just like the last two drafts, I'm in it until Andrew says, "ok we are going on auto."

[liquidcrash]

I've still got a pretty good number of players I think are quality players. Like everyone else, my scouts aren't unanimous about anyone, but some of them will pan out.

I don't really like my last pick. I forgot I changed my list to make sure I got a position player with my first pick and forgot to change it back. There's some pitchers left I like more than Evershed.

robster's gotta be near the end of the time limit right?

[Clay]

I think you add two hours to what's on the screen. So like 3:30 EST.

[Jistic]

....well I think we're beyond the deadline. Oh Robster! Where are you!

[Andrew]

His time expired at 3:30 ET. I just picked the highest rated player on his list.

Vasquez is a pretty good pick, IMO. I considered him with my last pick.

EDIT - I removed the 2nd pick. He gets a fresh 6 hour clock for this one.

BASTARD! I was already to go!

[robster1225]

Sorry about that.
Making my pick now.

[robster1225]

Pick is in. Went with a guy who my best and worst scouts had him mid 60's, the rest had him at 20/20. i'm glad I got Vazquez with that other pick, but I'm also glad I was able to make this pick, because I ended up taking someone who I didn't even have on my board.

[Jistic]

Playboys pick is in. 3rd round in the books. Went with our first position player. Verstile, good defense, average bat.

Montgomery was on my list. Good pick, although I wanted him. :)

So, Andrew... do we have to have the draft completed before we hit June 1st in game time? I'm sure we will. I'm just curious.
