Haselrig Joined: 04/13/2014 Posts: 2790 Novi Doubledays III.4	Bit of an awkward build isn't he, Jason? Looks like a solid defensive CF. Not a particularly exciting one, but serviceable for sure.

Haselrig Joined: 04/13/2014 Posts: 2790 Novi Doubledays III.4	Looking like this a bullpen building draft so far in Novi. Added a SET or closer to the set today: http://brokenbat.org/player/140070

Endrju Joined: 05/28/2015 Posts: 577 Inactive	FINALLY, after 7 seasons of drafting, we found our future shortstop. Such a relief.

Jason2327 Joined: 09/02/2014 Posts: 721 Abilene Patriots III.2	Exactly. Although if he could be a .270 or so hitter he will be a great number 9 hitter with that speed. Maybe a lead off hitter against RHP if he hits for good ave.

Carcharoth Joined: 07/16/2015 Posts: 149 Inactive	Drafted from the revamped Asian pool for the first time, and I am actually pretty happy with Okamoto. Haven't had a RHB CF since I started playing; I've been running out Doyle against both righties and lefties, but he never developed a hit tool. Nice to have a CF I can just plug in to the lineup who should (on paper at least) be able to hit.

Yuri84 Joined: 10/14/2014 Posts: 639 Apple Valley Raccoons IV.4	Got a 14 pot, but his build is not very exciting. I don't really like those high range, mediocre arm types. His fielding won't be enough to play 2B, so I'm guessing a LF here, but I generally prefer stronger arms even for a LF.

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2238 New York Lancers V.4	I'll balance out all the goodness with my C&R 11 POT. Had three goods overall, and the two good pitchers had "starting pitcher stamina" and "exceptional breaking ball, below average control, starting stamina", neither of which appealed. In retrospect I maybe shouldn't have chosen college, have a lot of players that age already.

mikkoredsox Joined: 03/29/2015 Posts: 116 Inactive	Pulled a 13 POT out of college. A bit behind the curve, but certainly an addition down on the farm.

Pig_Cola Joined: 09/15/2013 Posts: 1445 Glendale Marshals III.2	I got a good hitting, decent slugging 24 year old Asian today. A decent pick, but I don't know how long he'll stay.

GrizzlyDan Joined: 06/30/2016 Posts: 199 Atlanta Braves IV.2	I went down to the High Schools desperately searching for a pitching prospect. They all had negative control comments, so I ended up with Johnnie Boyle. He comes advertised as an OF, but as a southpaw with good fielding and no arm, does he look like a prototypical 1b to anybody else? He's actually more advanced SI-wise than the 1B above him in A Ball, and younger.

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2238 New York Lancers V.4	@GrizzlyDan - looks like a 4th OF/backup 1B to me.

Benchwarmer Joined: 01/06/2015 Posts: 445 Inactive	This is "good" potential? http://brokenbat.org/player/140360 Ugh. Catch and release. Should have gone with the Good potential SS with below average fielding.

Crazy Li Joined: 01/25/2015 Posts: 879 Inactive	Saw my first "very good" in the pull since round 4 of 2027. Of course, I'm sure it's a 13-pot guy, right? After all, that one was... (I don't think I've seen anything above 13 since we went to 10 per pull) Surprise! it's a future star

Benchwarmer Joined: 01/06/2015 Posts: 445 Inactive	@garf, ouch. That one really stings. No pun intended, of course.

buffmckagan Joined: 12/22/2013 Posts: 651 Scranton Bears Legends	Got a 16-year-old on the Latin American route - should nicely project to be a 2B! 13 POT.

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2238 New York Lancers V.4	@RJ - hard to go wrong there, future middle order power bat and quality C.

Benchwarmer Joined: 01/06/2015 Posts: 445 Inactive	@Dcm, he looks like someone who could do alright in LL V or VI, but any higher than that not so much.

ESac Joined: 09/05/2016 Posts: 340 San Antonio Defenders V.14	Probably my best draft so far this year (might not be a good year). http://brokenbat.org/player/140468

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2238 New York Lancers V.4	@ESac - Saying that's your best draft pick this year still isn't saying much for him! IMO it looks like you're drafting for need, or for position. In the early rounds of the draft particularly, and pretty much all the way through to be honest, you need to be picking BPA: Best Player Available. Always look for the potential on draft prospects: very good > good > average > no report. There are still no guarantees (see my post in the 2029 Round 1 thread yesterday) but you can at least increase your odds by following those rules.

Crazy Li Joined: 01/25/2015 Posts: 879 Inactive	Considering he has good overall potential, he may very well have appeared to be the best available. Also, drafting for need isn't that bad of an idea in some cases at least when multiple players that could be good are available and one does fit a need. It's not like getting another player in a position that you're stacked on helps you that much. You can't trade him for a someone that does fill that hole.
