1986 Amateur Draft Discussion

[rubisco43]

i've had some surprises... which does not bode well for me then.

[Jim]

Good pick with Colm Engle. I was hoping he would slip to me. He's young but looks like a quality MR.

[mahoney2]

I'm on autodraft by list for this pick so if I'm up feel free to pick either of the top 2 guys. I'm one pick away so I'd be happy with either one, especially the first one.

[Pat]

Clay or Andrew, if you could, please transfer Batavia's pick to Washington, and then select...

2B Clint Johnston

My scout has him as the #2 overall potential player in the entire draft. 6-5-6-6-5 batting potential. 8-7-7 running. 8 on range and 8 on error. And 33rd on the draft list.

[Carlos]

Is it me, or is there a bigger consensus amongst scouts this year?

No because my scout loved the two players I picked and I get the feeling not many else did.

4-3-4-4 from my scout.

yeah, nothing special from my scout too.

[mahoney2]

ditto.

Done

[mahoney2]

Just picked CF Jared Weeks who according to my scout is a "sure fire hall of famer" and "should hit over .350" meaning he's really "not any good" a "career bench player" and "never going to hit over .220"

Looks like 2 autopick by list, Tobs are up.

[spot]

Boy, I really wish that when I deselected auto pick and saved it it would have stuck! Now I am stuck with the 240th player on my list.

There goes my 2nd round... Onto the third I guess.

[Clay]

I have two players left that I really, really like. Anyone looking to trade... call Virginia.

[Riverman]

What are you offering? I have the pick after Batavia and 3 (2) as well so it is possible you could get both players.

[Clay]

I'm offering bundles of later picks... future picks... and prospects that are not named:

- Maeda
- Herrerra
- McQueen
- Rhodes
- Takahashi

I am not interested in a bundle of lower picks and I won't have access to the game until around 9:30 Eastern. That would probably be too late unless Batavia doesn't show soon and you let him slide for a few hours; the others might object to that, I suppose.

The Whale will probably have my hide, but I will let you have 2 (22) for next year's second and a third the following year.
