2017 BLB Amateur Draft Beginning Tuesday 06/28

[Hank]

Nice picks by both Pat and Andrew.
I liked Hines and I can't believe Walz fell that far.
My scout had him at 10 overall. He has a great make-up as well.

I just couldn't justify spending a 1st rounder on another 1B.

Hines looks very solid too. Great defensive ratings and college stats.

After KC, if anyone wants to trade down or out of round 2 PM me with ideas.

[Pat]

Yeah it'll be on your players too. If you have chemistry issues. I also think it is tied to manager tendencies.

Neato!

[umd]

Sorry for hour delay, pick is in.

With the first pick in the 2nd round, the Pilots select CF Erik Hines. OSA has him 5-5-3-3-7, with 6-6-6 speed and already rated 6 at CF. Despite missing seven games, he lead the entire CCBL in CF range, rating and efficiency, as well as finishing 6th in average and 6th in WAR. All 1st for CFs.

Something interesting I noticed...and I have yet to see on another player... On his morale page, if you scroll down it says "He is upset that there are too many slackers/selfish players on the team." That must be new?

Shit. The last five picks just destroyed my big board.

[Hank]

Not really happy with my selection.
I liked Blick, but I guess not enough as I traded down.

Really wanted Nygaard but I don't think I had the juice to move up that far.

[umd]

1.26 and Honea have been dealt to CAR. I'd like to trade McCarley for a 2nd rounder in this draft to continue the avalanche.

[umd]

For all you rebuilders out there, I'll send 1.26 and Dave Honea together for next to nothing. You get a first rounder right now, rehab Honea and the potential to flip him later. I can eat a shorter bad contract as well or multiple bad contracts.

[Pat]

Nice pick Delandis. Top on my board.

[Hank]

1.26 and 3.26 to move up.

PM'd you.

[umd]

1.26 and 3.26 to move up.

[Hank]

Love the Dave Morlan pick.

Was hoping he would be there at 2.1

Me too.

Traded down to 22nd overall with Delandis.

[Pat]

Love the Dave Morlan pick.

Was hoping he would be there at 2.1

[Ryan]

LA selects 1B Jimmy Langolis and SP Tom Lambert.

My scout hates Langolis but yet had him rated #15 overall. it wouldn't be the first time I've overridden him. His numbers are just too good to ignore. Might bust but I have to take some risks. Lambert was a little safer. Good Stats, lots of pitches, about as good as I'm going to get for a starter at this point.

Nearly took Langolis at 14. My scout loved him.
