But I think Ángelo Rodriquez could turn out to be a very good Average/On Base Percentage Player. He could be very high in Hitting, in BC, and in PD. And he is only 16. I agree with Bridger, He could be a player worth getting.

He will be able to throw all day. He has very good overall potential. P.S., only 9 RNG, 10 Arm, so most of his points should go to his pitching! Updated Saturday, October 7 2017 @ 2:53:06 pm PDT

I had a "very good" pitcher in the selection, but while the quality of pitching in my farm is dubious, the sheer number of available arms is decent compared to the bats, so I went with the "very good" position player and didn't regret it: http://brokenbat.org/player/164754 I already have way more position players with questionable arms than positions to play them in, but I certainly won't complain about a 15p "great hitter". Quietly hoping for a repeat of 2031, when I landed three 15ps in a season, which must have jinxed the next two seasons...

I guess I couldn’t pass up the chance for a 14 or 15 POT. Wound up with this POT 13 guy. I was pretty heartbroken, especially since he doesn’t have a hitting comment. His only saving grace, I think, is that he’s got like nothing for speed range or arm, so all his points will go into fielding, BC, PD, and prolific power. Which might be interesting...

I did draft in the last round of last season, just out of curiosity, to see if it would let me go back to draft for rounds I'd skipped (which it didn't). Also out of curiosity, I wanted to see what I would have to choose from in the first round, and I saw a scouting report including, "He may never get out of the minor leagues." …I had to. I couldn't not at that point. May I present possibly the worst ever first round draft pick in Broken Bat history, Danny Still.
