1983 Rookie Draft

[Andrew]

The clock is off somewhere with the utilities as a whole because the Export Tracker is always off a couple hours for me as well.

I think that's because my server is on MT. I'll keep an eye on it tonight to make sure the waking hours are correct. At this point I'm not sure if it was adding and extra hour or taking away an hour.

I'm not sure what's going on with the time. I'll add an hour to the pick time so hopefully that helps.

Baltimore takes 18-year-old 2B Ivan Garcia at #9.

Garcia doesn't hit for power, but does basically everything else. Gap power, good glove at an important defensive position, keen eye and quick on the basepaths. Good leadoff hitters are hard to find and we think we've found a future one in Garcia.

Yeah, there seems to be a time issues with the timer. I had to set the timer to 6 hours for a 4 hour pick window in my league.

The Bandits decided to take a step in addressing their 1B needs by selecting 22 year old Gene Murphy with the 8th overall pick. My scouts are split on his potential, but I took a shot anyway.

Los Alamos is only on the clock til 2pm?

I REALLY like that Pat Brown kid. He can do it all.

I like Brown too. It was a tough choice between him and Jerry Tracy. My top scout, who is 80 in hitting potential, just absolutely loved Tracy over Brown though. Plus, I stuck to my "go older" thing. I think Tracy, like "The Skull" could be playing in Virginia by this time next season.

So what happened to all of the 16-year-olds? I would bet all of my vCash that this year's draft class is older than last year's right now which seems weird.

I raised the minimum age to 18. This makes the ages much more realistic.

Colonials take Jerry Tracy (LF) at #6.

He was actually #3 on my board, so I had to grab him here. Another older player... could fast track to the show quickly.... my 80 rated Top Scout liked him more than Knight and shows him as a true 5 tooler.

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

It was down to him and Avery for my #5 pick. If I was stocked at pitching, Knight would have been my guy. I really liked how far he had already advanced.

Love the pick of Pat Brown. I really wanted him, but knew he wouldn't fall that far.

I like Pat Brown a lot.

I had him rated as the #2 (potential) hitter in the draft. Plus, he has incredible speed.

Settled with RF Pat Brown with #7. He was rated the 2nd best OF in the draft behind Knight and I needed a little help at that position with MacKnight turning into a scrub overnight.
