1983 Rookie Draft

[Jim]

I thought names could only be changed if they were glitched. I only saw one this year "Rubisco" Something. Denver is a legit first name.

FYI - Through 3 picks... my predictions have been right on.

On Brode.... like him.... think he could be better than Magness, but skipped him for two reasons.... (1) staying away from younger guys this year and (2) the OOTP wives tale about players with an awkward current development never developing properly.

You've heard of someone with the first name Denver? I never have. I thought it named him that from the Denver Bulls.

I think he could be better than Magness too. I don't know who I would've picked if I had the 1st pick.

On your #2...what are you talking about? Not sure what an awkward current development means.

Ah yes Rex Knight... the super freak... as my head scout so dubbed him.

Yah I thought I got rid of most of the glitched ones. That's the only case where I'm still changing names. I'm just trying to catch most of them by having the game regenerate the names before the draft.

[Clay]

With the 2nd pick, Dallas selects Denver Brode from Rosedale, Ca.

(Andrew, can I change his first name? Should we start a name change thread for this year's draft? Or should I just put it in the commissioners to-do post?)

Same here, Magness and Brode were the two best SPs on my board. Not surprised at all to see them go 1,2.

[rubisco43]

excellent pick. My #2 SP in the draft.

[Riverman]

I knew that.

[Lintyfresh85]

I am amazed that you thought Magness would fall to number 5. You must have thought the guys picking in front of you are idiots. Then again, maybe we are and that is the reason we have such high picks.

No I was just hoping people would be more interested in OF prospects than pitchers. Not idiots.

[Riverman]

That's exactly what I thought he could be. He had Jeff Franklin written all over him. There's one other pitcher in the draft that I think can follow a similar path. Hope he falls to 5.

[Sully]

I think he's older than Franklin right now! Still, he could be on the fast track.

[Clay]

I like that pick. Looks like he's further along in his development, too.

That was the reason I picked him. I liked that he was older. He'll start in AA and could be in the bigs by next season. He could be my Jeff Franklin.

[rubisco43]

Excellent pick Clay. He would've been my #1 too.

[Jim]

I'll try to get my pick in within the hour.
