I find College and High School the most reliable, but Latin can be just as good although the variance tends to be wider IMO. Asian produces some majors-ready players but thins out quickly, and International is a lottery for the most part.

In general though, the smaller draft pools (like the Asian posting) will get cleaned out of good players faster simply because there's fewer of them. My advice is if you're going after one of the smaller pools, go earlier in the draft rather than later but even that is subject to how aggressively the other owners are fishing in that pool so to speak. Where you should make a consideration is age. The Asian posting system is generally older players who are usually just about ready for the bigs. College is 21-22ish year olds - some more development needed but generally solid. High school is young players who might spend 5+ seasons in the minors before coming up. The Latin system I think tends to be on the younger side as well but i don't recall specifically. The "World" players are all over the place from abject Rookie to Ready to start stud. If you have a team that's loaded with talent, it's probably better to get younger players and make a plan for working the better ones in. If you're team is pretty sparse of talent, you might choose older players if you want to see some more immediate success. There is zero advantage to tanking. None. The draft is first come, first serve, regardless of record.

Just thinking that you may be able to get another 18-20 year old free agent with a good arm and train him at C. Currently there are some free agents with good arms that have "good" potential. I see that your player only has "above average" potential. It's up to you of course, but I might look at some players like these, http://brokenbat.org/player/146085 http://brokenbat.org/player/147139 http://brokenbat.org/player/145591 If you want to have someone who is all ready a C, then there is http://brokenbat.org/player/135146 Of course there is all ways risk that any of these will not develop in the minors and nor make a good player, but they have a better potential rating than your player currently does. I do not know how long these players will remain free agents but some of them were free agents for long periods of time last year. You may be able to find more players like this that you can try to convert into a C until you get a better one in waivers or draft. Updated Wednesday, February 22 2017 @ 12:39:02 am PST

It probably has happened, but I've never seen it. Did you notice it? He's the first "good" player I've ever seen with a 15 overall potential. Nice catch, Moose!

I guess the 'good' as opposed to 'very good' potential also reflects the fact he's a Gold Glove CF without another position and average bat? Although that might be reading more into the game than the programming dictates.
