Draft Day 2088

[goblue96]

1. Its past the trade deadline.
2. Wrong thread

It involves the current pick so I posted it here to get @Karl Hungus attention. I'll post it in the trade thread too.

 

[Karl Hungus]

@goblue96 you should be up

 

[Karl Hungus]

@bruin228 I'd love to hear the thought process behind that pick. 35 potential contact?

Zrentiev looks really good, I didn't have scouting built up on him for whatever reason but looks solid.

 

[Wolfman21]

I like what the Tulips did there. Solid pitcher and a really good looking catcher

Interesting thing about Utbah is that he has a solid relief pitcher in his back pocket as well. I'm not sure how well a catcher as a two way player would work...would be an interesting thing to follow

@Orlando

 

[Orlando]

Thanks Karl. If only there was a link in the first post

 

[Orlando]

I hate this class. @OU11

 

[Orlando]

I really didn’t think he was a first rounder, but i don’t want to create another hostage situation.

 

[Wolfman21]

class is really lacking any first round worthy bats outside of Klemmert. Bin Utbah, who i like, is marginally better, if at all, than the catcher i took in the mid-2nd last draft.

 

[Orlando]

Yeah. Lots of high power low contact bats who can field which is interesting though. Different from what we have been seeing.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

It's possible the generated classes adjusted to the talent imbalances in the league, at least a bit.

Very opposite from what we've been saying in a lot of respects.

Sweet, he's probably asleep now.

 

[OU11]

Sorry was at work

 

[goblue96]

Wake his ass up!

 

[Wolfman21]

2 picks today....we're rollin now

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Sorry was at work

We'll never finish at this rate

 

[OU11]

Honestly I thought the auto selection would carry over but it didn't. I'll be better next year

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Too little too late. Ur fired, Amsterdam is available.

 

[Orlando]

@Mr. Radpants - I got the Irish pitcher. Conway grew up throwing potatoes which lead to his legendary high control potential. Those asymmetrical tubers are not easy to land on the mark.

 

[hayvis]

Oh fuck. Just realised he costs 7.5m out of my 9m draft. budget. Game finally wearing very thin. @Karl Hungus - Can I change my pick please (next guy on my list)?

@TonyGin&Juice - Is it possible to hold the phone a sec?

I can't see your list. Who do you want?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Just go sit the rest of your picks

 

[hayvis]

Toby Sykes. Thanks Karl.

[goblue96]

Two picks and it's not even noon. What a time to be alive!

FYI if the player wants slot or less you can offer them slot even if over budget.

 

[Wolfman21]

not super excited about the pick...but getting a guy with 65 contact and SS abilities at the back end of the first round is pretty solid value. Lets see what he can do

@Travis7401

 

[Wolfman21]

2 picks yesterday, 3 picks today. We might be in line to finish at the next great conjunction!

I did have a tough choice between ruining Radpants' day by picking an IRISH and ruining Orlando's day by picking a SWEDE, but I already ruined Karl's day to make Rad's day great earlier this week so

 

[Orlando]

There was barely one Swede first rounder. No idea who the second one would be.

Ruin my day, we can always connect down the line for a mega trade

Good luck

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Good luck

I’ve learned from you, friend

[Karl Hungus]

Ah, I was hoping Lemn or Conway would fall to me because of their bonus demands.
