1989 Draft

[Lintyfresh85]

My scout has never thought highly of Rhodes. He is probably the worst rated IL All-Star, ever.

Elieis Vizcarra disagrees with you.

[Sully]

They can't be complete opposites... my Scout liked your 1st Rounder.... but your 2nd Rounder he hates. He's actually the lowest rated pick so far by my scout.

They're close to it. Del McMillan sits in front of two others as the lowest rated pick according to my scout.

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

Speaking of VIR OFers, what's going on with Artie Rhodes? My scout all of a sudden thinks he should be washing windows or starring in gay porn.

My scout has never thought highly of Rhodes. He is probably the worst rated IL All-Star, ever.

He reminds me of Joe Zazueto in his IL Rookie Season. Sometimes guys play above their ratings, especially as rookies, on good teams.

We're not sounding the alarm yet, but we are watching it. Florian Tosselli, who was going to start this year instead of Nelson, comes back after this SIM. If Rhodes loses his smile, Tosselli may get some starts there if I can't justify unseating Nelson (who hit really well in Week 1).

I said during the off-season that Bullpen and Corner OF were going to be question marks and somewhat experimental this season.

Did you change Scouts? Because I remember really liking almost all of your picks last year.

And like I said before the season was you have one-startable OF.

Not that it matters, but I would like to see Tosselli get a full time shot. You know my scout has always liked him.

I increased my budget big time, but that's about it. I'm trusting the class I had last year, which looks like it struck gold with my first three picks. We were high on Pagan, Munoz, and Gonzales. This year, we love Ortega. The 2nd rounder, already forgot his name, was rated pretty good and he fills a weak spot in the organization.

The class this year is horrible by my scout's estimation. There really isn't much left that I like. One pitcher, which I'm hoping to get with my next pick, but that's it. I may just auto-draft after that.

And like I say nearly every time you say something.... blow me.

That was the plan till he got injured and it's still in the cards. I thought briefly about trading Nelson this off-season when I had a sniff to prevent myself from talking myself into Nelson. But, I just don't know how to quit him.

FloTo will get his shot though. I just hope it's not because Rhodes goes Hank Stafford on me.

My scout has always liked him, too.

I increased mine too. Not sure what it will mean.

This class is awful if you want a power bat. My scout sees no one worth jack shit with a Power over 6.

We had Thang Mac at 8-8-7-6-7 and Castaneda as the second best hitter.

But yeah, this class pretty much sucks.

Rhodes played well above his ratings last season, especially in that first half. Hank Stafford got a huge contract and became a completely different player, ratings-wise.

[Sully]

I remember trying to talk Skerik out of that deal.

We saw the OF Conley and the C Pepe Gonzalez with Power = 8, but that was it for us.

I don't remember what you guys have your budget set at but I bet combined it doesn't equal Cali's....I'd listen to whatever his scout says since he's making the big bucks.
