Yuri84 Joined: 10/14/2014 Posts: 639 Apple Valley Raccoons IV.4	Got this guy - http://brokenbat.org/player/101222 11 pot but marked as "good potential", the others were all above average or worse. I needed an extra catcher in minors nonetheless so I guess I'll keep him for the time being.

PrivateSnowflake Joined: 01/06/2015 Posts: 1168 Bloomington Thunder Legends	Went for college as I need players sooner rather than later. One guy had no scouting report at all! Two above average and two good. I went for a position of need as Kline is getting older...http://brokenbat.org/player/101231 yeesh. Maybe he'll be a bridge to Kline's replacement.

Dcmrulz Joined: 02/14/2013 Posts: 588 Inactive	Picked up Lester Lloyd. 75 SI/13 POT, but as an OF, it's stacked there. He might make the Catfish majors in a couple of seasons if he can boost a lot during his time in the minors.

Holmes Joined: 11/07/2013 Posts: 1175 Inactive	Looks like nobody is really excited about their picks so far... me neither. Three candidates had "good overall potential". One was a pitcher where the rest of the scouting didn't sound too good, so it came down to one pitcher and one position player. Picked the pitcher because I have few in my farm at the moment - and "unhittable" and "exceptional" are nice trigger words, too. Sal Bradshaw http://brokenbat.org/player/101218 is 12p, could possibly become an acceptable lefty specialist but nothing more. Not exactly what I was hoping for with my first pick from the refilled draft pool. Originally, I was planning to take an international player, but this time around, that draft pool appears to be even smaller than last season (when it was only half as large as 2019). Quite a pity, really. International players add some color to the game.

So after waiting a near eternity for a draft pick to help my noob team we go college and find... 5 trash prospects, chose a good potential pitcher, he had 11 potential and 53 SI You can find him on the waiver wire if you want him..lol..time to fire the scouts and save some cash!

Spoonerific Joined: 01/17/2013 Posts: 339 Inactive	http://brokenbat.org/player/101273 Left handed outfielder, 13 pot, good speed and range. It could be worse. Plus, South Korean. Plus plus, "Ducky" Duck Young Park!

JuanCarlos_BY Joined: 12/22/2014 Posts: 77 Inactive	Asian Posting System: A 18 to 23 year old player from Asia. Note, the Posting System is a player transfer system between Asian and American professional baseball leagues. It means i do without to any my players for signing a Asian player?

Jynxed Joined: 08/26/2013 Posts: 284 Inactive	Very good potential was the only one I had so I took him over a pitcher that was just good. http://brokenbat.org/player/101379 shame he's only 12/20

JJNZ Joined: 12/09/2014 Posts: 1580 Yakima Monster III.3	http://brokenbat.org/player/101389 Pretty happy with mine, I think possibly he'll end up more as 2B, but both my middle infield positions are getting on a bit, I'll take either!

Favuz Joined: 02/26/2014 Posts: 639 Oxnard Sunsets IV.3	I got 2 good players, one pitcher and one hitter. Since i need more arms than bats, i picked Rafael McCullough. 12 potential but he's 17 and he has low fielding skills, so I'll keep him

slugfest2015 Joined: 12/21/2014 Posts: 168 Inactive	http://brokenbat.org/player/101263 Is it lame to feel good about Mike Landry here? 13 POT 3B, plus $***ty fielding, I see a All Star DH.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9602 Haverhill Halflings III.1	I've never seen a drafty who looked major league ready like Landry does. I'd still give him a little time in the minors to develop, but he could probably perform respectably already at LL-6. Low speed and low fielding should mean more points to his batting skills. The high range and Arm are a bit of a waste, but if he gains a couple more points in Fielding he could be passable as a backup 3B, with a primary role at DH.

dwindacatcher Joined: 04/03/2014 Posts: 633 Inactive	Train Landry in OF. With his fielding you want him nowhere near the infield. With OF you might play him there, but obviously you probably don't want to. Your roster might make it so you have to. As for my draft, I got nothing. Took the best of a bad group and he wasnot even worth a waiver claim for a rebuilding team with 30 guys on the roster.

cqk328 Joined: 07/28/2014 Posts: 289 Unalaska Alaskans VI.20	I don't know where all the good prospects are supposed to come from. The highest potential I've ever gotten in a guy was a 12. I thought week 1 would be better.
