repoman Joined: 10/09/2017 Posts: 31 Ithaca Indians VI.28	Started the first iteration of 2035 with POTs of 14-15-13, all very good HS prospects. But after the reset and across two teams to now, nothing but bums or above average guys - like today's 12 pot P. Had one 'very good' - "really quick, atrocious fielder". So unless he was a 15 POT C with great on-base skills, someone to avoid. Will be keeping a lookout for him!

Round 2 was a total waste of time and Round 1 got me a POT12 with outfielders defense and not enough SI to round out his hitting comment with decent PD or BC, so I doubt hell hang around in my minors that long.

Frankebasta Joined: 09/15/2013 Posts: 885 Kodiak Mules III.3	Laredo welcomes the future of the franchise: Super-duper Jerry Owen First pot16 in the history of Laredo, will play SS of course. (although, I'm left to wonder where are allocated all those points? Being that speed, range and arm are at 16?) I never post on this thread to brag or to complain. Neither I do today:I wish to make a point rather. I used to go Asian over the past seasons because of the obvious advantage of the ready-made players. It paid HUGE dividends: Kim, KO leader in Legends Aoyama, 5th best in OPS (albeit he missed the AB minimum due to left handedness) Park, pot12 1b, second best hitter on the team and Legends' All-star selection But today, after reading in the forum that _everyone_ goes Asian, I chose the old good High School.... Wow!

StretchDynamo Joined: 05/16/2016 Posts: 64 Inactive	Finally got a very good potential pitcher. He's super underdeveloped but with my stacked pitching rotation at the moment I dont mind taking on a project with a decent potential and make-up.

Breestis Joined: 05/28/2015 Posts: 9 Lenexa Titans VI.10	Very nice pick Franke. You're going to have everyone starting in High School now. With only 6 in the minors, I'm quite happy to be able to find a pitcher worth grabbing.

Demassa Joined: 04/22/2016 Posts: 7 Inactive	Had a tough(?) choice between 2 VG pots. The pitcher was a 17 year old righty scouted with only.... He can have a major league fastball. He will be able to throw all day. He has very good overall potential. The other was an OF scouted as... He can be a very good hitter. He can develop into a prolific slugger. He can be solid in the field. He has very good overall potential. Though I wanted the pitcher, I was worried about his lack of positive reports compared to the hitter. Sound thinking or should I have gone pitcher anyway since good ones are hard to come by?

brentswagger Joined: 03/22/2016 Posts: 265 Lakeville Bears IV.2	I was pretty bummed when I read the scouting reports on my choices. None said very good and only a couple said good. I mumbled to myself and picked one of the good overall potential guys. I was smiling when that good potential pick came up as a 14 pot!

motko Joined: 09/06/2014 Posts: 358 Nauvoo The Great Horned Owl IV.6	I went Latin and got only crapy to mediocre options. Then i see someone else got pot-15 from Latin? Is it possibe that timing is a factor, like you get better draft picks if you there early in the friday when the draft opens?

Jason2327 Joined: 09/02/2014 Posts: 720 Abilene Patriots III.2	I pulled a pot12 Lhp with an unhittable fastball/major league curveball limited to a few innings. Won’t complain I guess. Allowed me to upgrade a pitcher,but I realky need more position players;I honestly have enough pitching for a few seasons

Rome Joined: 06/01/2016 Posts: 24 Inactive	http://brokenbat.org/player/181941 Will he be a good option as a future DH or is the pot too low? Updated Friday, August 3 2018 @ 2:47:48 pm PDT

Pig_Cola Joined: 09/15/2013 Posts: 1445 Glendale Marshals III.2	@Rome, he'll be a good DH. He'll have a lot of points in his hitting skills, which is good for a player with his build.

g10rsh Joined: 02/05/2016 Posts: 170 Champaign Suzumebachi VI.2	Yea he's a gem, maybe around 17/12/12/18 probably more of a power hitter than a contact hitter but that will depend on how the bc/pd spread goes

MukilteoMike Joined: 08/09/2014 Posts: 3294 Inactive	Wow. Lots of killer picks this week. I did something very unlike me this time by picking a Good potential guy over a VG who had the dreaded never be a decent hitter tag. What I got was a low-grade potential 3B. He's probably going to have to approach 110 SI to have enough offense, but he's better than an immediate C&R. I don't think I've ever had a player from Aruba before, so there's that, too.

Holmes Joined: 11/07/2013 Posts: 1175 Inactive	There are days when you could just kick yourself in the butt. My choices (going college, looking mostly for pitching) were overall uninspiring. The only very good pitcher came with a control red flag, so I decided for the only "very good" position player, a lefty OF. Apparently, I slipped a row, though, and clicked on the player next to him... http://brokenbat.org/player/181677

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2238 New York Lancers V.4	@Demassa - Unless you kept details of the pitcher (name, age, handedness) it'll be difficult to know what he turned out like. As is you landed a really nice batting/fielding prospect: he can hit, and hit for power, and you can play him anywhere - I'd choose 3B or SS personally, where Arm counts.

Demassa Joined: 04/22/2016 Posts: 7 Inactive	Yea. I wish I would have thought to jot down the kid's name to find out how he turned out. I was just curious if people would have been more likely to pick the pitcher just based on the scouting reports.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9602 Haverhill Halflings III.1	I would have gone with the OF, I don't like that pitcher's scouting report at all. BTW, that OF should probably be converted into some sort of infielder given his defensive skills.

Demassa Joined: 04/22/2016 Posts: 7 Inactive	Thanks Rock and Amalric. I have started training him in the infield. I hadn't thought about 3rd. I was going to train him at 2nd since I'm training this kid at Short. But, I do have a weak-armed guy I'm training at second. Will he have a good enough arm to be an everyday player, so I can train Keen at Third?

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9602 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Go for it. His arm will be better used at 3B.

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2238 New York Lancers V.4	Yup. Razo at 2B (Arm isn't as important at 2B, Fielding & Range are key), Keen at 3B and John at SS looks like an outstanding infield. Get some power bats and pitching (you may have already, I didn't look) and you'll go places.
