The other turned out to be a 12p pitcher whose ceiling I would expect to be around an ERA of 5, at least in the upper league levels. Thank you, and good bye. The draft gets boring very fast now.

Dinos weren't that impressed with their slate. Think 9 of 10 had 1 comment scouting. We chose Knepper, who is our first pitcher of that potential chosen in over 2.5 seasons, and right handed to boot. Not a superstar, but superstars are a crutch.

I have a lot of P in my minors, so didn't pick A. between B and C i would have taken B, but for his age i chose C. turned out Jesus. with less speed or less range i surely would kept him without doubt, now i have to think about it. Anyway he can be a decent Catcher. The problem with international pool is that players are too old. There's no way that a 22+yo guy can reach his cap, even with 21 yo there's a very small chance.

I ended up with 3 pitchers who all have negatives and were above average at best so I looked at the hitters again. Got a really nice 3B out of Japan who could be major league ready this season. I really like my choice even if it was my second highest need (left side of the infield is weak in my minors).

Just noted, the guy is the best chinese infielder in broken bat, so he´ll be on the national team, I´ll keep him just for that. Updated Friday, February 12 2016 @ 7:17:07 am PST
