MukilteoMike Joined: 08/09/2014 Posts: 3294 Inactive | I can't believe I drafted a 109 SI pitcher...and question that he can play. Good grief, his defense would be awesome at short. Can I train him there and put him in as a defensive sub? Oh, wait. He's a lefty. Disregard. It's going to take me awhile to figure out which shocks me more, the 109 or that he's probably nothing more than a League VI pitcher. Yuri and rodeo with the first two studs of 2031. Big time hit for rodeo. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the very best of the year. Updated Saturday, February 18 2017 @ 12:41:33 pm PST |

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5204 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends | I actually shuddered when I read Mount Vernon's manager's name. Disappointing first rounder for Waterloo. No very goods to be found. Lad we drafted has the same old problem. Decent speed transalates to 15 but only 9 range. Sooner or later I'm going to clue in the range almost invariably low balls when its good potential. This guy could he a decent DH, but I have a half dozen DH types already. Likely gone the moment I need a roster spot. |

I can't seem to find any decent batters. And usually there's good pitchers so what do I do. I have 14 pitchers in the minors and 8 batters. Btw I really like the build of my draftee.

AssumedPseudonym Joined: 10/26/2016 Posts: 1130 Deerfield Beach Rats V.7 | So just on a lark, I decided to go International for the first round. All of the pitchers had control issues, the only “very good” would never be a decent hitter, and none of the “good” guys looked like what I was looking for. So I took a chance on an “above average” and wound up with the amusingly named André Andre. He’s no 2030 first round pick, but he ain’t bad. | ||

Not an exciting pick but at least he has 13 potential. | ||

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive | Since I was moving yesterday, I got my first pick today. I would have liked a pitcher, but I took the only very good on my board (none of the "goods" sounded better anyways). Not bad, but still can't get a guy who hits for average AND power. Also, his defensive build is next to useless, very unfortunate. | ||

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9608 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | The issue with drafting 25 year olds is that you can't see their recommendation. Looking at that guy, I would assume he already has all his minor league training. I don't think he will stunt in the majors. I think that is where he belongs. EDIT: Although he does not belong at SS. I would stick him at 1B or DH. Updated Sunday, February 19 2017 @ 8:21:51 am PST |

BrianV Joined: 02/08/2016 Posts: 125 Inactive | I had two 'Very Good' draft options, and ended up with David Kinder. The other was a 21-yr old short stop with a good fielding report, but no speed comment (so potentially no range). I'm very happy with Kinder. He has a good enough defensive skillset to play as either a plus LF or a slightly week-armed RF, or potentially a slightly low-ranged CF. Projection wise, if he caps out his scouting report, he will still have 21-29 points to spread between PD and BC, which means he should be a solid all-around bat. On the downside, he has ~35 SI to gain (so 4-6 seasons) before he has a chance to crack the major league roster. |

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive | @BrianV, I really like him as a corner outfielder. He looks like my ideal for LF or RF tbh. Probably slight edge to LF, but I wouldn't mind him in RF if you lack better arms. | ||

Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers III.4 | I picked up my first 14 pot in 29 rounds. And I did want a middle infielder. But no fielding rate makes that suspect. Additionally he's a LHB which I wasn't looking for but he appeared to me to be heads and tails the best prospect on my board. I suspect he will be an offensive stud. | ||

BrianV Joined: 02/08/2016 Posts: 125 Inactive | @newtman - yeah, that's my thought as well. He's also the first player for my 'next generation' of position players. My minors system feels a bit stratified. I have a lot of 22-24 years olds in the system that will take over from my current position players. At 17, Kinder is probably a replacement for one of the replacements in the high minors - two generations of prospects away! |

#45831 | 02/21/2017 2:53:38 pm | ||
amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2239 New York Lancers V.4 | Depends upon what you're looking for usually, but given how badly you need talent take your pick. I find College and High School the most reliable, but Latin can be just as good although the variance tends to be wider IMO. Asian produces some majors-ready players but thins out quickly, and International is a lottery for the most part. |
||
#45832 | 02/21/2017 2:59:20 pm | ||
occham Joined: 11/07/2011 Posts: 258 Inactive | It doesn't matter a whole lot in terms of 'quality'. The talent is scattered pretty randomly. In general though, the smaller draft pools (like the Asian posting) will get cleaned out of good players faster simply because there's fewer of them. My advice is if you're going after one of the smaller pools, go earlier in the draft rather than later but even that is subject to how aggressively the other owners are fishing in that pool so to speak. Where you should make a consideration is age. The Asian posting system is generally older players who are usually just about ready for the bigs. College is 21-22ish year olds - some more development needed but generally solid. High school is young players who might spend 5+ seasons in the minors before coming up. The Latin system I think tends to be on the younger side as well but i don't recall specifically. The "World" players are all over the place from abject Rookie to Ready to start stud. If you have a team that's loaded with talent, it's probably better to get younger players and make a plan for working the better ones in. If you're team is pretty sparse of talent, you might choose older players if you want to see some more immediate success. There is zero advantage to tanking. None. The draft is first come, first serve, regardless of record. |

wil_m Joined: 01/08/2016 Posts: 248 Inactive | jreynoldson913, From what I have learned poor fielding a C is much less of a concern. Makes sense as to why you would want to pick up a C. Just thinking that you may be able to get another 18-20 year old free agent with a good arm and train him at C. Currently there are some free agents with good arms that have "good" potential. I see that your player only has "above average" potential. It's up to you of course, but I might look at some players like these, http://brokenbat.org/player/146085 http://brokenbat.org/player/147139 http://brokenbat.org/player/145591 If you want to have someone who is all ready a C, then there is http://brokenbat.org/player/135146 Of course there is all ways risk that any of these will not develop in the minors and nor make a good player, but they have a better potential rating than your player currently does. I do not know how long these players will remain free agents but some of them were free agents for long periods of time last year. You may be able to find more players like this that you can try to convert into a C until you get a better one in waivers or draft. Updated Wednesday, February 22 2017 @ 12:39:02 am PST |

It probably has happened, but I've never seen it. Did you notice it? He's the first "good" player I've ever seen with a 15 overall potential. Nice catch, Moose!

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2239 New York Lancers V.4 | @Mike - I haven't seen that before, either (and didn't see it until I read your post through). Perhaps another new quirk to the game? I guess the 'good' as opposed to 'very good' potential also reflects the fact he's a Gold Glove CF without another position and average bat? Although that might be reading more into the game than the programming dictates. | ||

I'd feel obligated to keep the guy because he is a 15, but always know that I really should be cutting him. EDIT: I'd probably make him a SS despite being LH because otherwise he minds well be a POT 13 OF with all that SI wasted in fielding. Updated Tuesday, February 28 2017 @ 6:27:26 am PST |

Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers III.4 | I think he could be a rock star as a CF. I wouldn't say he's wasting fielding in CF. He'd be closer to a 14 as a CF with bonus fielding. He'd probably win gold gloves too. Might have an 11 or 12 hit tool. With power and good OBP. If he can steal with that speed he'll be explosive. I like explosive guys that can field their position in the middle. I've had explosive guys like Pablo Sanchez, Angelo Juarez, Kyle Rice. They're a bit unpredictable but I like them. I'm also happy if nobody else wants them. Each one of the guys I listed I picked up because someone else cut them. |

brentswagger Joined: 03/22/2016 Posts: 265 Lakeville Bears IV.2 | I have still never pulled anything above a 14 POT since I started playing this game a few seasons ago. I would be happy with a poorly built 15 POT just to say I pulled one. | ||

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2239 New York Lancers V.4 | I've drafted two 15 POTs (the first of whom came up at the very end of last season), and landed another three off waivers. But if you're landing 15 POTs off waivers its usually because they suck:- Lopez disappointed at every turn and lost 1pt off Range and Arm after I got him. Kokawa looked to me like a bargain, 87 SI at age 25 and good report. Should probably have had more PT in his rookie season (all of it? And more after) but not like he's set the world on fire at any point. I won Olivarez last spring but he skipped AA and didn't get much PT in AAA, and will have to play in the bigs this season to have a chance. One man's poison is another's...poison? The two guys I've drafted OTOH look like sure studs. |

Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers III.4 | I've drafted 5 15s. Alex Crespo - love him Mel Harada - cut him, no regrets, he just didn't fit my club Charlie Jansen - the only pitcher on this list. AAA. Very excited about him. Rob Santini - AAA. Future 3B. Ben Thacker - jury is still out on him. I'm just as excited about some of my 14s, 13s and even a couple of 12s. It takes a village in this game. Edit: I just drafted a 15 today. I like the look of him. Would like to have seen a little more range. Updated Friday, March 3 2017 @ 8:41:24 am PST |

Favuz Joined: 02/26/2014 Posts: 642 Oxnard Sunsets IV.3 | I have drafted 141 times since i joined this game, and took 8 guys with 15 pot (plus one 16 pot), all bats and no pitchers, and of those 9 guys only one didn't have a positive hitting report (Bailey) However, 15 pot doesn't mean authomatically star player (if we're talking abount bats), sometimes well built 14 pot guys (even 13 for some position like C or 1B) are better than 15, especially for Left throwing guys with a lot of fielding points. |
