2010 BLB Amateur Draft Beginning Thurs 1/29

[mike]

The draft isn't until 6/16...it's only 5/17 in game. That means the draft sim won't be until Feb 11th real time, almost a week and half away. We have time.

Haha I know...all in good fun!

[Matt]

The utility appears to be broken in some way.

What's the issue?

[Pat]

What's the issue?

It's fixed now.

When I last checked it just kept saying "processing" and reload immediately.

Washington selects local product SP JD Benton. Actually a bit surprised to see him available as I considered him for my pick selections earlier. Not sure that's a good thing.

[Jistic]

I appreciate the commentary in this thread about players I'll never hear of again once the draft is over.

LMAO was thinking the same thing.

LMAO was thinking the same thing.

it is cute how involved they get though. Makes it fun.

My intention — if i remember to follow through on it in a couple sims — is to convert my sixth round pick Hidefumi Hashimoto from a center fielder to a second baseman.

He's an average outfielder defensively regardless of position.

His infield ratings, on the other hand, look like he could be an above-average second baseman.

His bat translates much better to that position as well.

Make Yourself a note in game. That's how I remember to do it.

The draft is about to end in 15 minutes.

I loaded up my board with about 40 guys real fast. Obviously long shots but they will get a shot to make an impression during the expanded Single-A roster.

If Funclown cared about the draft, and perhaps the league, we'd already be done.

[Pat]

It's all fucked up again.

[BradZ]

It's all fucked up again.

Just give it a bit. It throws errors when teams are set to List pick| Auto and don't have anyone on their lists. It'll catch up in a second.

[Carlos]

I can't get to the list from my phone so if it's stuck on me, just auto that last round of double picks.

I should have enough players but who knows.

Batavia has NYY 1.5 pick Ian Clark.

Baltimore has Paw 2.8 pick Dylan Anthony.

Correct?

[Delandis]

Correct.
