| I have no option to draft this round. Have a roster of 48 players, so I still have two spots open. Didn't find anything about a maximum number of minor league players but am wondering if that's my problem; I have 22 of them. Anyone know for sure what gives? |

| I’m surprised there was actually anyone halfway decent left to draft this late in the season, let alone a 12 POT pitcher like Harvey Carlisle. I don’t expect miracles from him, but he could at least turn out to be a solid middle reliever when he grows up. | ||

| Thanks, Yuri. Should've tried that first. My handle really suits me today. http://brokenbat.org/player/158049 Can't even remember basic forum html. I should probably stay inside today or I could hurt myself. Updated Friday, June 30 2017 @ 5:37:21 am PDT Updated Friday, June 30 2017 @ 5:40:00 am PDT |

| 4th catch-and-release in a row. I haven't had a keeper in rounds 6-10 since Trever Basso, who was a 6th round pick back in 2026. Did the draft talent distribution change a season or two back? Feels like the pickings have been pretty slim last two seasons - even in the upper rounds, I feel lucky to see a 'Good' potential player. |

| Nah. Just confirmation bias. Look at my draft board and you will see evidence of slim pickings going back to 2023 (when records started to be kept). | ||

| Wow, Rock - your drafts actually make mine look better than I thought they were! Also, one of my former picks is playing in your system: Juan Manuel Quiles I don't remember why I cut him exactly. I think it was a case of he wasn't cut out to be a good outfielder with the range, and I had a backlog of DH-types already and Quiles had no hitting comment. A slightly older and wiser me sees he's on track to hit for average with a decent PD and BC with decent speed on the basepaths. He'll probably end up being a decent LF leadoff man. |

| He is a bit of a project. No guarantee he will work out. A bit underdeveloped for his age, and right hander with no power isn't great for a LF/1B. The only thing really keeping him in my minors right now is his OPS, but he didn't have that when you cut him. And it may not translate to AA (if he ever makes it to AA, LOL). | ||

| Yeah, I looked at Rock's draft history three or so weeks back and shut my mouth afterwards. (I think I was busy bragging or something.) | ||

| It actually doesn't look so bad this year with three POT 13s, but two of those were late round picks with poor scouting/builds. | ||

| Immediate catch and release player. Still been an incredible year for drafting sans the first round. |

| 8 was a insta-cut. But DAYUM Buff ... guess I wasn't kidding when I said we draft well when we're in the same league. Not sure what my 14pot 1st will turn into ... Should be some fun minor stats watching Steve vs. Kaniela Updated Monday, July 3 2017 @ 4:28:03 pm PDT |

| So, I feel like I've had an awesome draft season. Six out of eight still on my roster and a seventh on another team. But as I look at it more, I'm going to end up dropping a bunch, and none of them are real game changers. Not gonna complain about a 14, 5 13s, a 12 and an 11, though. |

| @garfscores "Six out of eight still on my roster and a seventh on another team." That seventh one is on my team...hard for me to pass up a Left Handed hitter who has a good shot at ending up with 60+ points in the four hitting categories. Wish he had a positive hitting report, but then you probably wouldn't have dropped him... |
