Last week's pick wasn't horrible (An ok 13 POT pitcher), but I was looking for a young, single A/ rookie level hitter that can play multiple positions. I got exactly that this week, meet Eric Mattox. When I saw his report I was hoping for my first 15-16 POT draft pick in my almost ten seasons, but I will gladly take a good looking 14 POT prospect that can play almost anywhere on the field. My only critique is that his PD might be a little low, but I can get past that with his great hitter/decent slugger tags.

Good lord, you kept 3 players: one of which was a 15 POT superstar in the making, another was a very strong looking 13 POT hitter, and an above average relief pitcher if his ratings end up going your way. I'm sorry, but that is at least an above average draft class. As for me, my theme of solid looking 13 POTs continued today. It doesn't look like hall of fame potential, but again, a nice piece like last season. The theme of my last two draft classes so far has been depth. I haven't pulled that "Wow!" prospect, but I have pulled 7 or 8 good ones, several of which I had to drop to make room on the roster. I'm very happy with my recent draft success and I hope it will continue. Updated Friday, December 16 2016 @ 1:36:41 pm PST

He's only 17 so it'll have a while till he gets to the big leagues but he should have a nice long career and maybe even play for the national team if I get really lucky.
