Slug5373 Joined: 12/23/2014 Posts: 376 Inactive	Disappointed with my first pick because I had only one very good potential and he had no hitting report. I had to choose between a good pot lefty hitter who looked solid and a relief pitcher who also looked fairly solid. I need more pitching right now though, so I took this guy. Could be worse, but I am not thrilled with the high fielding stats. Should be an ok to above average bullpen guy in the future.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9607 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Puckett looks good. Probably better then my draw with 8 "good" options. Actually you also got a very good with Galindo. Tough break on the Velocity and Movement ratings, but he'll likely have very high control and CoS. Updated Saturday, April 9 2016 @ 4:36:46 pm PDT

Yuri84 Joined: 10/14/2014 Posts: 639 Apple Valley Raccoons IV.4	A 15 pot I'm not happy about... There's just not enough time for him to develop. The choice was really between him and possibly the first Nigerian in BB. The other guy also had some good reports, but he was also 23 y.o. and was deemed "good" instead of "very good" so I went with this one. The Nigerian was a 1B, probably 13 pot.

quanin Joined: 03/16/2016 Posts: 196 Cleveland Thunder IV.3	A drafted 3b that actually looks like it can eventually play 3b. Might take a bit longer to develop than some of my prospects, but I like a challenge.

Spoonerific Joined: 01/17/2013 Posts: 339 Inactive	Puckett looks good. Probably better then my draw with 8 "good" options. I have a lot of lefties, Galindo is 13 POT and okay and none of the bats could hit. None of them.

Wine13 Joined: 12/06/2015 Posts: 28 Inactive	I wish I had done a screenshot of mine bcuz it had 2 "good" options, probably 5 "above average" and 1 that said "may never make it out of the minors". So your 1 very good and 4 good looks better than what I got. Went with very good hitter, prolific slugger and got an 11 pot throwback. Only 1 keeper in the last 6. Starting to lose patience with my scouts. Thinking of bringing in Jon Gruden to teach a class even though he's a football guy.

Pig_Cola Joined: 09/15/2013 Posts: 1445 Glendale Marshals III.2	I had two very good overall players to choose from. One had a negative fielding report, so I went with the pitcher. A solid 13 POT pitcher he is that can be a future starter.

dwindacatcher Joined: 04/03/2014 Posts: 633 Inactive	Scouting Report: He can have a major league fastball. He can have a major league curveball. He may be limited to only a few innings. He has very good overall potential. Doesn't that give you goosebumps? That's what you want a Rockstar closer to say. Unfortunately, I present to you Pedro Munoz. I'm not mad. Obviously he can still make the majors and probably be an effective MR or maybe setup, but I am really dissapointed.

Shyfire Joined: 06/23/2015 Posts: 135 Inactive	http://brokenbat.org/player/129322 I picked up this guy. Love his offensive report but I have no position to put him as 1st is covered for the long run by other prospects in my system. However he does look like a promising DH, a position I will need to fill in the next year or two

punkska Joined: 01/10/2016 Posts: 13 Inactive	Went "International Player" only after basically only using "all" last season. Scouting report: He can be a strike out pitcher. He can have a major league curveball. He will have the stamina to be a starting pitcher. He has very good overall potential. Sounds pretty good right? I knew he was 23 so thought he'd be an AAA or if I was luckier then a major leaguer already, but, no. What IS this?? http://brokenbat.org/player/129321

Benchwarmer Joined: 01/06/2015 Posts: 445 Inactive	Nice catch, dcm. As for me, looks like I got lucky and hit the jackpot for the type of 1B I wanted, and he still has room to grow. With a "very good" scouting report and lots of positives, no reason to not draft him. Might even be able to shift him away from 1B. Yusuke Fujita Updated Saturday, April 9 2016 @ 6:33:20 pm PDT

Brewnoe Joined: 03/25/2014 Posts: 818 Fall River Naughty Dawgs IV.5	Wow @ Fujita .. never seen a draft pick with 100 SI off the bat. I was probably influenced by my franchise all-time DH having at most 1 season left. For "very good"s I had a lefty unhittable fastball/starting stamina and a right handed 3B. I lucked out and Jesse Galvin is a 13pot great hit, prolific slug + below average field with 10 or less in speed, range and arm. I'm already looking forward to the seasons where he'll be back to back with Boom Boom as DH/1B in the heart of my order.

Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers III.4	Well, I'm quite happy with my 14 pot pitcher. Especially when he looks similar to my best pitcher in franchise history.

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive	Very poor first round pick by Raleigh standards. Hoping I can make up for it with some waiver luck, because the 12 potential pitcher I drafted likely would get eaten alive in this division.

Favuz Joined: 02/26/2014 Posts: 641 Oxnard Sunsets IV.3	It's the first time since 4 or 5 season that my first draft of the season is a catch and release, no very good players out of ten choiches and even the good weren't so exciting. Hope that i'll recover next couple of drafts.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9607 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Parr looks pretty good to me. I'd say he would be a birdie on my staff.

Endrju Joined: 05/28/2015 Posts: 577 Inactive	I'd say he would be a birdie on my staff. I see what you did there He's not top bullpen prospect in my minors, but I can't complain really. I just expected a bit more from 1st round.

#33167	04/10/2016 8:12:40 am
Favuz Joined: 02/26/2014 Posts: 641 Oxnard Sunsets IV.3	well, a pitching staff need relievers, not only starters. I'd choose a 13 pot with low stamina over another 13 pot with major league fastball and can throw all day. Then, of course, we all expect better for the first round (14+ pot players), there's nothing wrong about this

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive	At least yours was 13 potential, mine was 12 potential, and I'm 90% sure all my other choices were worse. I had zero very goods to choose from as well.

BrianV Joined: 02/08/2016 Posts: 125 Inactive	Only had one 'Very Good' POT player in the list, Michael Mason. He has Good Hitter / Prolific Slugger. He's got the fielding to be an outfielder, but only an 8 arm, which looks too weak even for LF. However, with 13 POT / 76 SI, I'm a touch concerned about his ability to hit cap before he's called up. I will probably try to train him as an OF, but play him as my DH in practice. So, not a great prospect, but better than a few others in my (admittedly weak) farm system.

#33227	04/11/2016 5:43:42 am
Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers III.4	BrianV, he looks like a good lf to me and he could do okay as a backup cf imo. Even start cf if your other options were low range big arm guys. I value range over arm in cf if I have to choose.

#33229	04/11/2016 5:57:35 am
BrianV Joined: 02/08/2016 Posts: 125 Inactive	Interesting. I always assumed arm was more critical in outfielders, and I've been looking for 12+, with a little less for LF.

quanin Joined: 03/16/2016 Posts: 196 Cleveland Thunder IV.3	I just had this same conversation in this thread. Relatedly, if he were mine I'd stick him in LF and call it good.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9607 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Arm is more of a nice to have in the OF. The way I look at it is - CF: Best Range, Arm is a plus, decent fielding doesn't hurt RF: Best Arm of the remaining OFs, range is a plus LF: What ever is left, range is a plus I usually pick my OFs based more on their batting skill. Mason's arm is a bit weak for a CF, but his range should make up for it. Or he could be a LF with great range. Updated Monday, April 11 2016 @ 8:15:10 am PDT

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2238 New York Lancers V.4	My best report by far was Herschel Solomon, a 13 pot P with a lowly 30 SI, which might not be all that bad for a 17-yo High School player. He's actually my #5 prospect.

Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers III.4	Its all a matter of compromise on these things. No one can put out a perfect lineup. He lacks the arm for CF (or 3B or SS) but his range is more than necessary for LF (or 1B). Additionally, he doesn't have any defense scouting so he isn't ideal for the infield. To me he is defensively a LF, a weak armed CF or a passable 1B with too much range and not enough fielding. There are no other positions I would consider. Only my opinion of course. That still leaves the question of whether he will be adequate offensively to carry those positions. Since he's already fully qualified at 2B, you have the luxury of seeing if his fielding comes up to acceptable limits for you without having to make that decision. Raze, nice catch!!! I'm thinking 3B Updated Monday, April 11 2016 @ 9:33:49 am PDT
