I went the college route hoping for a good pitcher that is close to being ready but the best potential pitcher was only good. I had five very good potential bats to choose from... none of which had a "great hitter" scouting report. I took the one with the "very good hitter" report. I think he'll be fine He's kind of a tweener in the fielding area. I'm going to try him at 2b and see how quickly he can learn it. Otherwise, he'll be another outfielder.

Wtf i didnt realize it is round number one when looking at the options, looked like round number ten. There was even one batter who had report:none.

@motko: same here.
I had 2 VG, which is a nice surprise: 1 starter without strike out ability and the hitter I caught and released.

I'm asking: has something changed over the past seasons? I wasn't so unlucky in my prime, I had several 14 pot and even a 15 pot.
It seems, in my case at least, that someone push down the average level of draftees.

Had a bad R1 board with no VG and 3 good potentials. Two of the “good” pot players were batters, the first had no hitting comment (“decent slugger” and “outstanding in the field” only), and the second had no other comments whatsoever. Took a pitcher with a “major league” FB and SP stamina, but he turned out to be 11 POT junk.

I usually draft from the Asian pool first but went college this season, mostly because I think doing the same thing over and over isn't necessarily the best thing.

Had two VGs and took the pitcher: http://brokenbat.org/player/191786. He's a lefty and only has two pitches so I'm not too excited about him, but his potential is fine and he's got no apparent weaknesses in terms of his ratings.

No VG's and only 2 goods, one of which was a hitter without a positive hitting comment. No choice in the first round. Nasty.

Ahhhhhh.. chose College when I usually go high school.
No VG, 2 Good which were obviously poor so I went above average. I ended up with an 11 POT.

Looked like round 5 to me!

However... I ended up with 7 picks last season so the law of averages is surely at play.

Best available player was an 11 potential pitcher with control problems. BrokenBat's equivalent to a lump of coal as a 1st round X-mas present?

Zack Villa is definitely a first baseman with his diffusive build. He was my only VG player, so I'll take this as a first round pick.
