I really need to stop going to the Latin Academy so early. This guy was one of the best looking option in a poor draw. No idea what to make him, seems a shame to waste that arm at 1B but his fielding would force him either there or maybe catcher. Or maybe he will be my next DH specialist if his batting works out as projected. Tempted to pitch him but I'd hate to throw away a 13 Pot.

Looks like a lefty catcher to me. I wouldn't waste that arm on DH or 1B.

You're right about that, Newtman. I looked at the Rookie level, and I now have a whole infield of hot prospects now that I am training him at 2B. I figure the 1B will be headed up to A ball some time this year, but I like him at 2B.

Matt Morton, drafted him out of college SI 77 Pot 14. Will be an atrocious fielder but I plan on leaving him as an OF anyway since he is a lefty and a prolific slugger, whatever that means.

@Fife - being a lefty restricts him (pretty much) to OF or 1B, though some people don't mind lefty catchers. But OF would be best with that range and arm, either CF or RF, ideal range and arm for either.

Looking back at this and I had four "very good" prospects in round 1, and some dross since. I picked Di Carlo, a nice hit/power/range OF and a 14 POT.

Of the other three very goods one hasn't been drafted, and the other two are these guys, with identical reports who both went in the 2nd round. Think the draft is a crapshoot, much?

Mark Case - 12 POT

Rodney Sheehan - 15 POT

Took until the 5th round for the last of those "very good" prospects to appear. Had been hoping he'd come back up for me but no joy.

Burt Caldwell - 14 POT.

Was a nice selection to be offered in round 1, pity I've had garbage ever since!
