2015 BLB Amateur Draft Beginning Fri 01/22

[umd]

Yea, i got overwhelmed trying to figure out how i could rate and sort players, told myself i'd come back to it later and forgot about it, got autoed, i can't even tell if i got a good player out of my newbie moment.

But dont worry, even if im not the most active on forum, i sent most my exports.

I was talking about Jimmy. We can see you're exporting. Just sucks your pick got auto'ed. I didn't realize you did. It's harder in drafts now to tell bad picks, since scouts and the league scouting service (OSA) can vary so widely.

Mireles and Gardner are great picks. Like them both a lot. I also think Lloyd was a Top 5 talent in this draft.

[Carlos]

I don't pick again till the 7th. Wake me up when it's back to me or PM me if you want to discuss possibly including a 2nd or 3rd for Nazario or Lindsey.

Any idea what position Mireles plays?

3 range, 4 error looks rough for third base.

(Though I hold to higher defense standards than most.)

I'd keep him at 3B. No progress make him a 1B. My scout has him as an 8 power.

Willing to trade up for a package of picks this year or next if anyone wants to move down to 2.20.

I'll have my pick in shortly. Sorry for using all of the clock...

I considered taking Lloyd with the 3rd overall pick. I just thought it was too much of a risk. My scout really likes him but the OSA, not so much.

I'm pretty sure we have a name for doing this.

I just can't remember what that term was called.

still struggling to sort the draft pool. Is there a way to see a projected rank or a trick to take away every unwanted players?

No, not really.

Best way to start is by looking at the potential ratings and stats for guys who stand out in some way, whether it's a high contact, high power, high stuff, high control, or impressive statistics in something like home runs, batting average, or strikeouts (pitchers).

Ah. Statistical overload. That la OOTP for you.

But Z is right.

A good place to start is go to in game to BLB tab, then transactions, then draft pool, then draft list, then go to the far right and click the black available actions tab. Click have scout sort this round. It'll give you your scout's view in order of the best players in the draft. Take this with a grain of salt, but it's a starting point.
