Very helpful to see if they steal bases, can hit lefties, can get rh batters out, hit all ground balls, give up too many hr's etc. And use pot as a tie breaker...as long as it is at least a 12

Went with the soon-to-be free agent Kim who was the only prospect with POT above 11. Wanted to grab a pitcher but all were hopeless. Only hitting comment for field players was "will never be a decent hitter." Ouch. Must be karma for landing Jarvis in the 4th round last season. Was the #5 prospect in all of BB at the time, but is there anything more enigmatic than a +15 POT with no hitting comment? My team seems to be in the minority that reaped more from the 2042 draft than the 2041 draft. One 15 POT and three 13 POT draftees in 2041, vs a 16, 14, and four 13s in 2042. Currently 7/8 2042 picks are on rosters for what that's worth.

The less picked over a pool is, the more likely you can pull a good player. I don't usually pick by position need because there seems to be little correlation between their listed position, and their defensive profile. I've pulled several all-star quality 3B out of the 1B pool. Unless I am specifically going for something like a pitcher, but I'm usually hunting for position players. I haven't drafted many pitchers since the draft change.

Since there is a high degree of randomness, I want to always have a chance of finding the best player available. The only way to preserve that chance is to avoid limiting the pool. If I get to a point where I need to prioritizing pitchers or hitters, I'll use the "All Pitchers" or "All Position Players" options.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9592 Haverhill Halflings III.1	At that point, I usually go to the position pool with the highest percent left, since its the least fished out. That's why I hit the 1B pool frequently. The 1B pool is the pool I pulled both of my 15 POT players out of.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9592 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Yeah, I didn't like that in the old draft either. It has always seemed a bit silly to me, but I think its an unavoidable artifact of the way prospects are pre-generated.
