2042 WBL Draft Thread

[jdlikewhoa]

The draft seems way weaker, year to year, than it should be. Go look at the top prospects page- none of the top seven batters were drafted, and only about half of the top pitchers were.

I'll take your picks then

The Bulls select SP Abdul Jalil-Hud.

[osick87]

I should have done more research into pitchers yesterday. Feels like a pitchers draft.

@fignuts

I originally was going to go with him, and then changed my mind last minute.

 

[Wolfman21]

Yeah, he was the best of what's left, IMO, of starters with 3+ pitches. Love his fastball

It's a relievers draft now

 

[NML]

Nice pick wolf. Only thing that worries me is dat GB%

Yup...thats connected to his movement rating I would presume. It is worrying

From what I've read, you are correct in that assumption

Looking to get rid of the rest of my picks, need budget space and/or cash inquire inside

Give me Rowe and a bad contract and you can has all da cash

 

[doh]

I don't normally like to draft relievers because they can be found pretty easily in FA, but I couldn't pass on him.

I think moving McHeshi to 3B is a no-brainer.

The issue with moving him to 3B is he is an elite CF/Sanchez loses a ton of value going from 3B to 1B. So it's really about are there more good hitting LF/RF vs. 1B in the end…

 

[Orlando]

I just think with the state of 3B and the state of OF he is much more valuable there.

 

[doh]

I agree but Sanchez loses his value if I move him off 3B.

 

[Yankee151]

I can keep his value, you can get Ert back

 

[doh]

I can keep his value, you can get Ert back

Sanchez/McH ain't moving any time soon.

 

[OU11]

Ruiz loses his value because he doesn't play a position

 

[doh]

Call me a dick but I don't understand why people don't just set a list before they go to bed if they know they won't have time to pick today.

 

[OU11]

Dick

 

[osick87]

I said "Steven, I make lists all the time" and he said "That's exactly what I'm looking for"

 

[Orlando]

Call me a dick but I don't understand why people don't just set a list before they go to bed if they know they won't have time to pick today.

lol, carry the torch my man, carry the torch

I've done it a ton of times… I understand when you're like 10 picks away but I was next in line going to bed last night and had another six more down the road so I put 5 on my list…

Why not six more?

Doh is repeating Wolf verbatim

 

[fignuts]

@Orlando

 

[NML]

When picks are made and they aren't on my draft board...

 

[doh]

Dick

I prefer Richard

 

[Orlando]

@Rutgers Mike

 

[Orlando]

Low WE, but I like this kid Atil's bat and he can play 2B & 1B.

 

[osick87]

He was one of the guys I was looking at

 

[OU11]

Low WE, but I like this kid Atil's bat and he can play 2B & 1B.

He almost got swooped up at the 1-15. Great pick IMO. I was wondering how far he was going to fall

 

[Orlando]

I was hoping he'd fall to me. I was going to take him or Wright at 16 before I realized doh wouldn't let Rogers drop to me in the second. Doh ended up with Wright, who I liked, but he cant play the infield like Atil can. Feel good about our trade at this point. Cliff was a nice pick too.

 

[doh]

Atil was next in line on my list. F me.

 

[osick87]

I thought you had a list?

 

[Yankee151]

Dont call me a dick but you ahould have had a list

 

[Rutgers Mike]

[Wolfman21]

So i'm not sure if I'm gonna be around once the trade between me and Osick gets posted. I've set up my autodraft to pick the player I want, but if it doesn't happen and @OU11 can select for me, I want Raul Medina.
