Pretty similar result as last round: this guy will only have about 14 points to put into BC and PD. He's just not going to be much of a hitter most likely. At least he has an obvious defense home, unlike last week's pick. On a super short leash since I'm now at 50 again. Updated Friday, August 24 2018 @ 5:26:18 am PDT

Could be a nice OF. He's my best pick of the season. He along with the FA signing of Rocha this week boost what had been a lacklustre draft for the Dinos.

Estalella is in the vein of Markham, but the difference between 10 and 12 potential is pretty substantial. Puts his BC and PD around replacement level (~10). With little speed, few walks and more Ks the player has to compensate with power. For me, a 10 or 11 pot needs to be great hitting / prolific slugging to be worth a shot.

So unless the game engine decides to develop him to the higher end of the 20% in more than one of those,he’ll hit good

With the exception of hitting, I agree on your assessment of where SI will go (I have 9 SI going into hitting, for a mid-point of 14). I have long operated under this for 13 POT: (104–111), with 107 to 108 being the midpoint. I only see 52 to 53 points available. OK, so that's more like 15 to 16 SI for PC/PD if he gets to 107-8. Maybe he'll be OK, and I'm being overly critical? While we're swapping notes, I anecdotally think that if a player is drafted with a low PD, it'll probably be on the lower side at maturity, i.e., in this player's case, with a PD of 2 and BC of 5, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see BC to end up staying the higher of the two. I just don't see players digging out of a PD hole that often. (I tend to prefer higher PD over BC; maybe my anecdotal experience is biased by that.) Your thoughts?

Jason2327 Joined: 09/02/2014 Posts: 718 Abilene Patriots III.2	@lostraven I go by what the guys say of an above average potential would be 8pts per 1 level of potential left to get and very good potetential being 9pts per level. So your player is somewhere between 56-63,not adjusting for 20% either way(I don’t try to take that into account at first). I will then put a good potential roughly in the middle. Being that hid pd is higher to start I would figure more of the remaining pts to go there. So likely he will not strikeout much but not walk much. But the truth will not come out for 4/5 yrs of development
