1983 Rookie Draft

[Sully]

Ontiveros is a great pick. I know someone in the top 10 was considering taking him with their pick.

Pick is in, went with 3B Ivan Ontiveros,, he's 20 years old which is good and seemed to be the best hitter available.

My god every guy I'm hoping will slide is going before my eyes.

Quick question.. Sato signed with another team for 8mil a year.. isnt that eligible for a sandwich pick?

Close...

No, it starts at 9 million.

Agreed, my guys all had him as 7's across the board. I just got sick of always drafting MR's in the first round. Solid smart pick.

My average for all scouts was 7-7-8. My 80 rated pitching scout says 8-8-8. This guy will be a nightmare, complete lights out.

Crap. Nice pick Dino's. Wallace was the best pitcher in the draft according to every single one of my scouts. This guys the definition of 'cant miss'.

Wallace is a stud. I was sure California was going to take him early and try to convert him to a Starter.

I liked Chuck Lindsey a lot. You made us wait... and took my guy. Dick.

You never would've seen him. Great pick.
