1992 BLB Amateur Draft

[BradZ]

Is it possible to put a flashing banner on the front forum page announcing who's on the clock? Not directed at anyone, I honestly think it would be helpful for people who are just dropping by.

[Clay]

I ping people under certain circumstances. Like whoever is going on at 8a, if it's a team I know doesn't post regularly, I'll shoot them a PM. 7 picks since 12:30 isn't bad... especially with a trade.

[Matt]

It could say...

[Jake]

Just out of curiosity what's the draft clock running on? It's showing LL as not being due until noon tomorrow, but I was under the impression the clock ran from 8am-midnight.

Runs till 10p EST

[Jistic]

Really wanted Stewart.

[Gyrodork]

My scout doesn't seem to like more than a handful of players in the entire pool (and they were all gone in the 1st 7 picks). Although, I really can't tell. I hate it when the scout gives a player 4's and 5's in potential ratings, but the summary says "Lock on a big league future with some star potential". Where's the star potential in 4's and 5's? Or he gives me the opposite, 6's and 7's in potential ratings with comments like "I guess he could surprise me and eventually fill a roster spot". I may give up on my scout and the ratings system all together, and just make decisions based on stats, positional need, and injury history.

I love your pick Gyro... outside of his work ethic.

I'm pretty sure Harrison would have been Clay's pick had his WE been high, or better.

Seems like typical Colonial starter; durable, and solid in all three bars.

[Delandis]

I think he's going to be more of a Larry Headington type...low average, decent eye, big bat.

[BradZ]

Runs till 10p EST

Would midnight be so bad? Just wondering. Set at 10p means the last pick of the day can happen at 6:01p and then the next team on the clock has until noon the following day to make a pick.

Good call.

Pat Harrison was #5 on my list (Legere was #4). I was hoping he would slide to 1.16 because most teams are deep at C. It was a good pick IMO.

[Jistic]

Harrison is a great pick.

The guy I really wanted was gone so I'm rolling the dice on Dani Ortiz at 10.

I'm confused as my scout has his ratings not exactly where I want them to be, but in his assessment he gushes over him and says he's the 2nd best player in the draft. He's an excellent scout and he has a huge budget so I'm going to defer to him and take the leap of faith.

I think Linty was referring to Willie, but I'm interested to see how Pat turns out as well. Raw potential wise he was the second guy on the board, but factoring everything else, he slipped way down my rankings. Being that my ranking system is fairly new (second year), he'll be a good barometer.

My scout is the same way. Loves him in the writeup but won't put the numbers to him, outside of power. If he develops some contact and patience he could be something special.

Took big bad Pepe Rodriguez out of Saginaw, MI. Looks like he could provide some serious pop given time to develop, he even clubbed 18 bombs as a 15 year old in High School.

Had my heart set on a pitcher but I valued Rodriguez more than the arms out there at this time. With the loss of our scout to WC, we really need to depend on gut feelings....I've yet to develop trust in my new scout.
