Nice pick, I can't wait to bring Drowning Rat to the riggers when you're done with him. 50/55/70 pitcher ratings are just what I'm tombout for the Anti-Thunder Dome

I'm bulldozing the bandbox, I can't take it anymore.

 

[Travis7401]

Did you like the Drowning Rat nickname at least? I'm pretty sure that's how I'd pronounce it like a redneck.

Yep, Drowning Rat it is.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Not as much as I like the explanation.

Did I miss where we banned Comp picks or did I actually sign my 2nd rounder? I can't remember.

We banned comp picks. We kept them for the first round for just this year.

 

[osick87]

Oh Okay.

I sort of skimmed a bit one time and thought we weren't comping picks traded for.

That's what I thought too, but I guess it's all of them.

[OU11]

I thought it was all in the first, only team pick comps in the second, none in the third. Doesn't matter to me though. I deleted all of mine anyway.

Damn, was hoping Stone would fall to me. My scout loved him for some reason.

@fignuts

 

[Travis7401]

I'm shocked Stone got drafted that early, OSA hates him and the website had him even lower (40 contact, WAT?). I was going to pick him with my 2nd rounder. My scout also liked his bat more and he's got the defensive ratings to be an 8 position utility player

 

[Travis7401]

Someone PM figgy and let him know he's up.

Stone was one of the three players my scout called a future star (I drafted the other two). But then he also said he'd be a 0.220 hitter so...

 

[Travis7401]

Definitely don't read your scout's actual opinion of these players. I looked at his rating of Karshev who he had as the highest rated prospect, and he was just talking shit about him in the actual description. BORDERINE WBL PLAYER AS A SUB IF UR LUCKY.

My scout has him as the third best contact hitter in the draft, but lawd is his eye terrible. Those defensive ratings, though- he'll be decent or better at every spot other than catcher.

My scout loves Brady Thompson on KW, but Bin Nazeeh is maybe an ever day player. Their practically identical!!

Yeah, I got some email the other day about how my scout was excited about some guy he found in Chile or something. Oh shit, my scout's actually excited about someone? Click the player and read the summary: "No future in big leagues."

 

[ZackMills]

I read a new one yesterday about a reliever. "Will come in the game up a run, will leave 5 runs down." What a dick

Karshev is borderline.

[Mr. Radpants]

@doh was on the clock while he was bitching about more rule changes? You've got to be kidding me.

 

[Travis7401]

Nice pick for @bruin228 and @bruin. Geldart was the dude I tried and failed to sign at #9 last year. He's got a good defensive skill set to play RF and LF (already listed at 70 position rating) well and even though he doesn't have a power bat, he's got really nice combination of a good OBP bat with good running ratings (70/70/75). I think that gives him a decent WBL role player floor even if he only improves to his currently listed potential.

Play him at RF and even CF a bunch in the minors (55 range is low for CF starter but he'd still hit replacement levels) and he should be a great 4th outfielder or better. Plus he's already so far along in dev that he'll probably be ready for a 2052 call up if necessary.

 

[Travis7401]

@doh

You motherfuckers are so slow. I propose a 2 hour shot clock next year during the daylight hours. I even made a spreadsheet so you can look at the OSA ratings when you are away from the game.

 

[Reel]

I'm lol'ing at the same people who used to mock me for having a big board then put it on auto draft based on my board and now those people STILL continue to hold the draft up by not, you know... Setting up a big board then turn on auto draft

 

[Orlando]

Yeah we need to start autoing people.

 

[OU11]

@doh took mah favorite pitcher. Left hander, good control and good groundball percentage. Would have been a rigger superstar.

Speaking of that Big Board I asked for weeks ago...where it at?

I was tempted to take him, but my scout really shit on him.

 

[Orlando]

I guess we should auto @Mr. Radpants

 

[Travis7401]

I nominate @Reel to fill out @fignuts and an @Schauwn s big boards if they are slow next season.

I'll take your first next year for him.
