*OFFICIAL* 2000 BLB AMATEUR DRAFT

[Lintyfresh85]

Pick or trade will be in within the hour.

[Pat]

Olson was the guy I was trying to trade up for.

Wow, Pat Powell really fits the Miss "put the ball in the air, but never walk anybody " mentality.

Perfect fit for Spectre.

[Delandis]

The draft seems to move so much quicker when you don't have an early pick.

I don't have have to watch the pot boil I guess.

[Lintyfresh85]

Trade may be happening.

Stand-by.

[Lintyfresh85]

Trade done.

Didn't like this year's draft class.

[fsquid]

Do I have to wait for the utility to be reset to make the next pick?

[fsquid]

nevermind, saw that it updated, pick made.

Liked Olsen for my next pick. Don't like drop in power.

If you are talking about my Olsen pick and not the pitcher, I agree. My scout has him rated two points over OSA for Contact and Power and one point for eye. Had him at 15 on my draft board so that is why I sent Reyes to Cali to get him. Wasn't going to resign Reyes.

[Delandis]

Barring any rash of injuries or meltdown (which is sure to happen since I am posting this) I probably only lose 3-5 spots in next year's draft with this trade. I had someone in mind to draft when I asked for the trade but I'd like to get home to make sure I'm not missing out on anyone else first. Gimme about 1 hr and 15 to get home and take a peek in-game.

I appreciate your patience, unless your screen name is Spot.

Wow, Pat Powell really fits the Miss "put the ball in the air, but never walk anybody " mentality.

Perfect fit for Spectre.

I have a formula and it works pretty well- my park is built for pitchers like this. Powell has the exact same potential as Norm Sutton so I'll be happy if he comes close to reaching that potential. While I'd love a hard throwing ace like Don Leonard was pre-injury, I have to settle. Of the starters left at my pick, he was the only one I was comfortable taking. Curious to see what will be available in Round 2.

[Plastic]

I will make my next pick tonight. I just got home...need to take care of a few things then will log back in and make my pick.

And with the #26 pick in the draft, the Bulldogs select:


Dave Doggett (CL)
Lincoln, CA

-Highest potential player in the draft (according to my scout), 3 plus pitches, and with a 100+mph FB, he will fit right in in Baltimore. Very talented, but it will be up to our coaches to see if we can get enough progress to make him a big league starter. His stamina, work ethic, and intelligence is questionable, but there is a clear upside to him and I just couldn't pass that up.

[Pat]

Dodgett was my #3 RP prospect. Like him a lot.
