Had to go with the pitcher, since that is always what I am looking for, trying to develop. https://brokenbat.org/player/295655 Nice homer numbers. Low SI at birth makes me think he's really a 14, which is fine with me if he develops well

Had 2 12's, and then a load of 10's and 9's, so really not a lot to write home about. Picked a 12 POT lefty who might be able to do some as a reliever or closer at some point, but that was a dud board. I guess it was coming after a couple of very promising draft classes for me, though.

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2238 New York Lancers V.4	Did not have a great board, per usual, with the best report being on an above average 11 POT. But I did have one very good prospect and Cooper will do very nicely.

Jerbeetwo Joined: 06/30/2019 Posts: 329 Tyler Goldendoodles IV.3	My board wasn't loaded but at least this guy was there. http://brokenbat.org/player/309206 I'm very happy to get what looks like a #2 or #3 starter. Hopefully the scouting report hints at him bumping to a 14 potential. Still hoping for the day I can land a 16 super stud though. Haven't been blessed with one of those yet in the drafts.

electriceel883 Joined: 05/26/2021 Posts: 1505 Irvine Infernos III.3	@JV: That was my board last year, all year. @Amalric I like your pick of Cooper. Nice homers and 25% QS is a lot better than you'd expect for a guy who just reached stam 7. @Jerbeetwo: nice pick That is my first board since 2051 to have a 15 on it, so I enjoy it when it happens lol.

geigerted Joined: 07/16/2018 Posts: 59 Queens Park Rangers Legends	Trevisian is probably over-scouted as a POT 15, but looks to be a solid pick-up nevertheless.

tamale Joined: 02/19/2018 Posts: 357 Concord Jets Legends	A bit of talk in here about "bad" boards with one impact prospect - after all, a board is only as good/bad as its best option... Had the opposite problem here. Got a good looking board, but on closer inspection I couldn't identify an impact player. Went into one of my longest thinks ever on a draft, and considered no less than 7 players: P: Forsythe Alcala Lawrence Donnelly NP: Shelton Johns Everett Would love to hear anyone's thoughts about my eventual decision (Lawrence).

Bridger Joined: 08/04/2016 Posts: 264 Muncie Flyers III.4	I was in there in the first 30 seconds this season and had a mediocre board. VG potential 12 pot with a 1B/LF-only build or G Potential 14 pot with a RF build Both VG hitter with a SLG comment. Both 17yo with current SI in the 60s. Ended up with Elrod. Disappointed to once again not find a usable pitcher in the first round.

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5202 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends	Dinos had a painful decision. We went high school, as our roster is in good shape and age is more important than position. Got a 13 pot P who we were fairly certain would be a lockdown reliever. Really wanted to pick him. But went with this guy. 14 pot, great hitting (tho low currently), high floor from defense. We'd be more excited, but he is eerily reminiscent of Calderon who was a disappointment. Guess we'll see.

electriceel883 Joined: 05/26/2021 Posts: 1505 Irvine Infernos III.3	@tamale. I liked Forsythe better than Lawrence of the pitchers: I dont consider pop FB to be an out pitch and he has less wasted on F/R/A. I didnt really like the NP at all. Johns would have been ok if you really needed a SS. One mans opinion

Jerbeetwo Joined: 06/30/2019 Posts: 329 Tyler Goldendoodles IV.3	I liked Shelton as a 3B considering his amateur BA and Everett as a LF (I think the scouting report leads to a Potential bump to 13) but I'll never question a Legends owners draft pick. You had a tough choice with your board that is for sure.

tamale Joined: 02/19/2018 Posts: 357 Concord Jets Legends	I wasn't too into Shelton, but I thought hard about Everett and Forsythe. I agree with you about Everett possibly being a 13, especially based on his training history so far - a case against that would be his slow SI development so far. Forsythe I think is a candidate to go the other way with his POT, and he wouldn't project too well as a 12 especially being underdeveloped already. In the end, I felt that all of them would need a boost in their outlook to project well, and I thought Lawrence offered the best chance. He's the youngest guy and showed good SI growth so far, and has the best control projection of any of the pitchers. I've been careful not to discount the pop/stamina scouting report - one of the greatest pitchers of all-time had that. Of course Lawrence will never turn into that, and there's a good chance he's nothing (his stats certainly aren't great). But the other guys could easily be nothing as well...

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5202 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends	I would have gone with Forsythe. I'm more concerned about his FB than his growth. Think he will fill out ok. But worried his vel is already mostly dead. Guys with vel that low tend to get BABIP'd pretty hard. Given that, I can see Lawrence as the pick. I'm more worried about his amateur performance than his scouting.

Jerbeetwo Joined: 06/30/2019 Posts: 329 Tyler Goldendoodles IV.3	I agree with everything you said and I have one question. If you knew Shelton's Power would be a 19 or 20 would your opinion change? That is what made me like him even without a hit comment. If Power could go to there and being a 15 maybe PD and BC go high too I thought I could overlook a lower BA and live with him at 3B.

Kittens-B-Us Joined: 01/17/2022 Posts: 42 Inactive	Last season I went with draft pools, this season I went looking for a SS so selected it. I haven't seen enough drafts to know Good or bad boards but think I did alright with this selection. http://brokenbat.org/player/290944 Updated Friday, May 20 2022 @ 9:00:29 am PDT

jclemen2 Joined: 11/22/2016 Posts: 177 Mount Prospect Skeletons Legends	I feel like I've used a lot of early picks on pitchers and never had a potential ace like this. 16 potential, unhittable fastball, major league slider, starting pitcher stamina. Thrilled with this 19 year old 63 overall: Carlos Cano First 2 spring training starts have been promising!!!
