I tried to figure out if high ratings in any specific pitch mattered at all and I couldn't come up with any correlation

I also drafted Tessie to pull in some of the Old school Red Sox fans who I assume are usually split between rooting for Dublin, or the intergalactic metropolis of Buffalo.

There's no contest there. I get all the fake Irish Bostonian Dropkick Murphy clowns easily, look at Notre Dame. Speaking of, I probably get all the Notre Dame fake Irish fans also.

I knew how you felt about Catcher prospects with bad defense, but if you'd really like the Irish North Dakotans back on your band wagon, we can arrange a trade!

I don't really understand your post. Tessie isn't even Irish or from Boston. So color me confused. This might be some precision trolling but I don't care.
Did you consider that maybe Boston fans just follow the Boston High School Red Sox? They won a championship recently. I have grabbed a bunch of super Irish guys from their team recently as well. Example
In fact, my second round pick was from Boston High.
Creswell is from Dublin and I followed his career in Raleigh closely before drafting him to appease the pubs in Temple Bar.
Anyway, I appreciate that you're trying to make inroads into the fertile Irish recruiting grounds of Ireland and Boston, but I have been a noted relationship builder in my core communities for years in this league.

Oh 
I didn't even look at the song, I just assumed he was making fun of Boston/wannabe Irish people with the Dropkick Murphy song.

He probably deserves an Irish nickname now, though. If he can have a Pacific Islander name while being from South Africa, then he can have an Irish nickname.

I just realized he has 28 total at-bats 
haha, funny how scouts differ so much. My scout projects him to be "about a .130 hitter". hahaha
As far as Digger Wideen goes, I thought about him with my first rounder. Then I looked at his batting statistics and noticed he hit worse every year he was in HS. His last season he hit .289.....in high school. If you can't hit .300 in high school, no thanks. So I went with Sparks who hit >.400/>.500/>.800 in two out of his three years in HS.

Well, by "loves" I mean he's one of a handful of *** guys in the entire draft
He does seem to think he'll develop some serious power and a good eye, thoughWell, by "loves" I mean he's one of a handful of *** guys in the entire draft
Your scout likes this draft better than mine then. My scout only sees 2 players over 2* potential, lol
Why the fuck are you people still looking at *s? It is literally meaningless to use with prospects, because there are no "potential" ratings for their defensive position and most of them aren't even in their best position.

Lol. When I finally looked atthe guys I drafted in OOTP instead of the draft website I was like
Lawd. Its the easiest way to compare players when talking about them on this website. I guess I could go into how many guys have 45 contact combined with a 50+ eye/avoid k but they have to have a 60+ fielding rating but that would be too much work. Therefore I just say, "only so many stars." Of course stars alone don't prove how good a player is. Come on travis, we're not rookies. Go holla at @bruin wit dat
Man you guys not using the draft spreadsheet... SMDH.
Mr. Radpants

If only there were a tool, accessible anywhere, compiled by an engineer, that could get me the OSA projections when I am not in front of the game...
Mr. Radpants

I mean it's not like the spreadsheet is anything ground breaking, but it does allow you to sort better than that ham-fisted website sorting while allowing you to view the individual defensive ratings without having to click all the way through to the player page.
who uses the website? All my info comes straight from the sim. Sorting is so easy it hurts
You can't use solver to sort in game, or turn it into a pivot table, or make ur own calculations to apply your own weights to each rating.

What am I looking for? Hits and misses like all of us.
Mr. Radpants

If you need to do that, you're not a good GM.
This doesn't even make sense.
Keep looking. It's there.
Keep watching. It's there.
A reliever in the first round? Lol

Had I known this was the case I would have just swapped with you. My farm is so weak I need to take guys I have a shot at signing instead of haggling with GOATs that want my entire draft budget. Yes, this is totally the early-00s San Diego Padres strategy (i.e. dumb) but we had no shot of signing him and my scout didn't really see him as a GOAT.
How would you have trouble signing a guy who is only demanding $4 mil?
Lol no. What %FB does he throw?
88%.
Name better players than him from that draft. I've got Razor and Khac Kam. And ronald riggs doesn't count because he was a 13th round unicorn.

That's over 50% of my draft budget and we don't get comp picks so why put yourself into a situation where you can sign a potential GOAT and no one else? Throw in the farm situation and it shouldn't be that hard to figure out.
The entire first and second rounds. 88% FB? What a joke.
