Yeah, I like Matsumoto a lot

[mahoney2]

He was my scout's #7 prospect.

[Ryan]

OK, so for anyone that had their scout make a list, does it make any sense? For instance, my scouts list has a guy he thinks should've been picked second in the draft with pitching potential of 4-4-4. Theres more than just that one guy though. He's got guys throughout the first round that I would'nt have picked until the 10th or so. However, it fits with what others are seeing by their scouts.

Just curious to see what others are seeing.

[Clay]

No, they don't make much sense... which leads me to believe that that functions takes into accounts more than just scouted ratings.

Thats what I was thinking. I was hesitant to mention it as I didnt want to bring something up that may cloud this whole 'new scouting' thing up further.

[spot]

I actually have seen very little of that. Most of the guys that my scout has been high on have had potentials that I would consider on par with where they are rated. I don't know about the guys that had already been selected however as I removed them for the list without taking a look.

[mahoney2]

I noticed a bit of this as well. Also, some guys who have a 5 in power are "Unreal talents" etc. in the power section, and others who are 5's "have below average power". I understand the point spread of what a 5 represents, but it seems to be pretty heavily varied. I'm wondering if they mean anything or they're just random comments based upon a range.

[Jake]

is Windy City going to be auto'd?

[Ryan]

Hope so, I'm ready to go! This wait has been hell.

[Clay]

Auto'd for Windy City

Auto'd for Windy City

I think what this league needs to avoid these excruciating delays is an assistant to the co-commissioner to take charge of the draft.

Requirements for the position:

Non student, no job, no life, no prospects.

Sounds like you're the perfect candidate for the job!

Dude, that pretty much describes me right now, except for the student part.

[Clay]

Hey! Besides this Windy City one... I've been on it.
