Do you have to get out of the lower levels to get decent players in your draft? In the past two seasons I have only kept two players. Both acquired in round one. After that I can’t get a single player to even consider keeping. Is it just bad luck? If it wasn’t for everyone else’s scraps I wouldn’t have a minors system. Which doesn’t seem likely to equate to success in higher levels. | ||

Are you specifically going after those pools or is it coincidence? I normally look in the HS pool for a few of the early rounds then fish for depth by position. I joined around the time you did. Have to say if those are the best prospects you had available I’d hate to experience some meager draft luck years like that, especially if your trying to build out an organization. I like to ride the waiver wire on weeks that I don’t get a solid draft pick though. |

Which doesn’t seem likely to equate to success in higher levels. That's how my team operated for 20+ seasons. Its unlikely to win you Legends, but you can get pretty far with some savvy dumpster diving. And I actually see a LOT more talent on the boards with the new draft system. It seems backwards, but it seems like even more quality players are getting cut off teams before they even have a chance to play a game, then when people couldn't get see the player ratings before they picked.

Jerbeetwo Joined: 06/30/2019 Posts: 322 Tyler Goldendoodles IV.3 | @ Johnny boi I have done most of my drafting by position. Usually short stop or pitching. I have not had anyone worth keeping to choose from and have been selecting the worst player and immediately releasing him. It’s really rare for me to see anything above an 11 and most of my options have been 8-11. |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9571 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | 8-11 seems to be the norm for me as well, but occasionally something better will pop up (sometimes in the late rounds). Usually only have one decent option if there are any at all on a board. I don't think these norms have changed much, its just that now we can see when we have no chances to draft a decent player. Prior to the new draft I kept on average one player per draft year. With the new draft I'm keeping on average three players per draft year. So overall, I'm getting a lot more talent in the new draft than I did with the old draft. I had really bad luck before, and I've had some good luck now. Most of it still comes down to blind luck. SS and Pitcher tend to get fished out pretty fast. It might be worth looking in some of the other pools. Both of the high POT 3B I pulled in the first year of the new draft came out of the 1B pool. |

Bridger Joined: 08/04/2016 Posts: 264 Muncie Flyers III.4 | I agree with that most of it still comes down to "blind luck." This year, I have seen exactly one player with very good potential in the 70 players offered to me. Last year, I had multiple Very Good Potential players in 3 of the first 4 rounds. |
