1992 BLB Amateur Draft

[BradZ]

Philly is on the clock.

Thanks.

[Jake]

Hurry up Brad.

With the 15th pick in the 1992 BLB Amateur Draft, the Washington Bats (through Syracuse) select, 1B Shawn Nolan out of Cal State Fullerton.

My scout thinks he has the tools to be a superstar but fears he might fall a bit short and be just a good player. Nolan for whatever reason, played 1B for the Titans, however, my scouts think he will be a top notch defensive infielder, likely at 2B or SS. I also really like his intelligence and work ethic. Plus, he will be in the bigs sooner than later.

I went back and forth between Nolan and another hitter...who I assume will be off the board in the next 2-3 picks. Maybe even the very next.

Quality pick. For sure move him to SS if you have a need there.

Keeping with our theme, the Colonials take another 1991 Champion in Hector Baez.

Love Pat's pick right before mine. He was my 1b with Baez. I think he's a legit SS prospect... something the BLB is in short supply of.

[BradZ]

Hurry up Brad.

It's not easy. Pat's pick broke my heart and you helped him do it. I don't even know how you can live with yourself.

Could be a huge steal. I considered him at 10.

Philly's pick is in and so is Denver's.

Pawtucket is on the clock.

[Clay]

Don't think I haven't noticed that the two traded picks came right in front of mine.

[Clay]

My scout really liked the Denver pick - Hautberg - but I overruled him due to the FRAGILE tag.

Ditto this.

My scout also endorses the Baez, Nolan, and Gomez picks. They were all on my short list of hitters.

[Lintyfresh85]

Same.

[Sully]

Me three.

[liquidcrash]

It seems this draft is going to form for the most part. Not really surprising since we all should have 4 years of scouting on these players.

[Sully]

I'm starting to see a huge dropoff in talent left. I may be on auto after my early pick in round 2.

[Delandis]

Exactly. I think I only see maybe 2 players that I want to take a chance on at 1.20, and one of those guys is a maybe. I'll be in chat if anyone would like to make a deal.
