| Buyer's remorse.. I took a leap back into Asian Posting hoping for a new leadoff hitter and ended up with two pitching options and no hitters. Sota Katori To repeat Assumed form above... underwhelming. We'll see if he survives as a LR. |

| Didn't have a very good overall player on my draft board today. I got a great hitting, decent speed OF that's a 12 POT. It's a bit disappointing, but I'll keep him and see how he grows. |

| A C&R 11 potential pitcher with 'good' potential. The best option on an appalling 1st round draft board. |

| The combination of "throw all day" and high Range are pretty meh, but the curveball rates over the fastball. Eh, I've done worse in the first round. Cool name, too. Still looking for the ever-elusive hypeable shortstop prospect. Updated Saturday, July 21 2018 @ 4:12:51 pm PDT |

| @MukilteoMike I'm playing him at right field this season since my franchise 2nd baseman can still play plus I needed a right fielder. I will prob move him to second next season if my 2nd baseman doesnt bold well this season | ||

| It's a shame (IMO) that there isn't more parity in drafting. For some teams to be given 11 potential duds as their best option, while others get 15-16 potential franchise players, completely arbitrarily, seems wrong. Even something incredibly simple like doubling the amount of players to choose from would even things up a lot. Well I did land a very high potential player at least. Who will likely be a bust (which is fine, at least he had potential): http://brokenbat.org/player/181170 Anyway, what would you do with this guy? Hitting is too low to ever be good. All that fielding & range is wasted as a catcher, but his arm isn't elite. Nor is his glove/range quite enough to be an elite defender. Train him a 2B? SS even? 3B? (i've got another no hit high potential guy trained at 3B already though) |

| Shikago, don't consider catcher for him at all. As you said, that would be a terrible waste of fielding and range. I'd put him in the middle infield all day long. Once he gets trained there he should be more than adequate. He might never be an elite hitter, but he could be okay in the batter's box. Hope for a good fly ball rate and that he connects enough to nail 20 homers a season. I think that's definitely possible. | ||

| My pitching prospects sucked this round. May have been slightly better had I logged on earlier yesterday, if this thread's any indication. fortunately I'm not as much in need of pitching as I am LH hitting. Bright side: he can play OF or C. Thinking of training him as OF. | ||

| I couldn't log in last night for some reason, as I kept getting error message after error message. Looks like I missed the party. I desperately needed either a middle infielder or a pitcher, and got exactly what I didn't need because he was the only guy left above "Above Average". A corner infielder without any hitting. Looks like my last chance at not demoting further fell though due to error messages. | ||

| Looks like my last chance at not demoting further fell though due to error messages. I used to have most weekends free and would be one of the first few to pick in round one. I got plenty of bad slates. I had a power outage back on flip weekend, 2027. Picked three days later than most people and got this guy. Asian is a much smaller pool than High School, but it doesn't usually tap out until a couple of rounds have run. I think you just had some bad luck, Newt. |

| Cam Willett Perfect Catcher if he was a righty. I’ll settle for a low Range RF or a wasted arm at 1B someday. The bat should definitely play and it’s always nice to draft a keeper! |

| I think you just had some bad luck, Newt. Yeah, 6 seasons of bad luck drafting now. Still not on par with Rock, but when you can't fill certain positions with guys who even remotely resemble the build that plays a position well it has the same effect. |

| I had a drought of about four seasons of below-average drafts. It's really the worst thing that can happen to you in this game. It just drains your interest. When my drought started getting worrisome, I shifted to an "Asian-then-college" strategy to try to fill that gap in my upper minors. Didn't get many guys to get excited about with that strategy, either. Le might be remembered as a good pick when his time is done, but that remains to be seen. I've had zero luck with college players all the way back to King Kong Kirby who was one of those frustrating prospects to spend a lot of time on for no real payoff. I've been hunting for a good catcher prospect for a decade and have resigned myself to running through a bunch of one-claimers to see if any impress. All that to say that I think these droughts and set-back are a lot of what makes this game so damned compelling. Other owners have faced similar things and have long since quit. A big part of being long-lasting and successful owners, like you and I have been, is being tenacious enough to get through those set-backs and disappointments. When you do win something, struggling to get there makes it all the sweeter. |

| I got a list of 'Above Average' candidates with a single 'Good' pitcher (with no other scouting comments). Ended up with an 11-POT C&R. Been a few years now since I had an exciting draft pick. Even my 14-POT from 2035 was kinda 'meh. when drafted... and now doesn't feel like he's developing great. |

| Not sure what to do with this guy... http://brokenbat.org/player/181266 He can be a strike out pitcher. He can have a major league curveball. He will have the stamina to be a starting pitcher. He has very good overall potential. 14 POT! 5 pitches! 17 years old! Bad fielding stats! All these things make him exciting! BUT his SI is a 19... He is my nightmare right now..
