And that defensive profile is meh; maybe 3B? But I have 3B out the wazoo. Will need to gain SI quickly too. Potential release, hold for now.

Going along with the same theme, I still haven't successfully claimed anyone off waivers either. Have I ever said how much I hate the draft and waivers? Maybe I should do that some time. Edit--Lost, I'd be much more worried about the necessary rate of development than anything else. His BC and PD should be better than you think if he gets to his potential. I do agree with what you said, though, about 3B probably being his best placement. Updated Friday, June 2 2017 @ 5:52:28 am PDT

Not enough range for 2B Not enough arm for 3B-C-OF Not enough hitting for 1B But He's young and could steal some bases, plus should have high BC and PD. I'l train him for 1B because i lack this position in my minors, but if i find someone better next year i could definitely cut him.

I'll keep for now and see how he builds out for a season or two, but he's at best 3 players from the chopping block as far as prospects go, my minors is fairly stacked

12twelve Joined: 02/05/2017 Posts: 131 Inactive	http://brokenbat.org/player/155961 Not a great selection, only two with "good" scouting. This was only one without a negative report. Looks like solid middle infielder that will hit for average. Hopefully other gains will be to BC and PD over Power.

buffmckagan Joined: 12/22/2013 Posts: 651 Scranton Bears Legends	http://brokenbat.org/player/156141 Got a 15 pot guy who can play shortstop, bats left, throws right! Too bad he'll never be a decent hitter...

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2238 New York Lancers V.4	@12twelve - nice pick! I think many of us would have your 13 pot over buff's 15 pot, but both nice picks for round 4.

12twelve Joined: 02/05/2017 Posts: 131 Inactive	Thanks almaric. Hard to look at a 15 pot and not be jealous, but the "will never be a decent hitter" is something that I typically try to stay away from although there is so much else going for buff's pick. Hope he works out for ya buff!

dsz071 Joined: 09/12/2015 Posts: 334 Inactive	Picked up a 12POT dh prospect. Even if I manage to stay in LL.V this season it may not be long before I'm back down. I have no real pitching in my minors. I have seen one remotely decent pitcher in the draft this season. Only had one pitcher among my choices this week.

TPS Joined: 10/19/2016 Posts: 120 Dallas Dragons IV.8	http://brokenbat.org/player/156122 Looks to be a good hitter that doesn't have the skill to play anywhere. Definitely a keeper though. Updated Saturday, June 3 2017 @ 12:26:07 am PDT

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive	Must be nice to have the game like you... I didn't get a birthday present on my birthday the week of the 1st round pick. 4th round pick was an insta-cut, and we are now in season #5 since I drafted or claimed a guy capable of replacing Poole, Thomason, Rosa, or Di Carlo. No, Hickman doesn't count, as he has a lot of wasted skills, and I have gaping holes in the future at SS, 2B, and C.

Haselrig Joined: 04/13/2014 Posts: 2790 Novi Doubledays III.4	The usual waiver bump after Friday has not been there the past two weeks. Waivers seem to be continuing the decline they've been on for a couple seasons now. Wonder if it's a function of better ownership or worse drafting?
