Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9569 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | I still have problems with 2B. With the new inability to retrain most players (due to limited time in the minors), its nice to be able to get players who already have experience playing 2B. However I agree that I frequently see guys who have no business playing 2B. Last round I picked 2B, and didn't draft a single playing in the 2nd round. Only two of the guys had more than 13 Range. Three players had single digit Range... I'd still like to see some form of templatting used for primary positions. Updated Tuesday, April 21 2020 @ 7:39:03 am PDT |

If you’re just looking to find a 3B, I like his older idea of picking from the 1B pool and look for a right handed thrower with decent fielding and an arm. I personally would only draft position specific if it was the later rounds and I had a dire organizational need. Just ride the waiver wire to find replaceable starters and the draft is a lottery to find elite talent. |

Jwrose Joined: 07/07/2016 Posts: 95 Parma Dodgers V.10 | I've had 1 specific position actually fit that position(2B). I'll usually draft OF and then train the player for an INF position. I've lots of success that way | ||

Benchwarmer Joined: 01/06/2015 Posts: 445 Inactive | I haven't drafted specific position except for pitcher in a while. I found the variance to be very wide on the ability of the players in the pools to actually be able to play said position. | ||

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5194 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends | You can build a staff of Tanner Roarks that way. But if you want a Gerritt Cole you should probably draft a P every once in a while. Updated Wednesday, April 22 2020 @ 8:11:29 am PDT |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9569 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | I have high quality pitchers on my team that I picked off waivers with almost no competition. Of course if I'm drafting out of a non-position-specific pool and a POT 14 pitching shows up, I'm not going to bypass him Updated Wednesday, April 22 2020 @ 10:03:06 am PDT |

JohnnyBoi62 Joined: 06/21/2019 Posts: 356 Florissant Falcons VI.21 | I pretty much agree with Rock, it's not too hard to go out and find serviceable pitchers. I feel like your hand has to be forced when deciding to draft a pitcher, but at the same time there are reasons to do it. These are the kinds I'm thinking: http://brokenbat.org/player/217746 http://brokenbat.org/player/234416 http://brokenbat.org/player/213775 http://brokenbat.org/player/257530 All potential starters, high POT, plus high marks on their Velo or breaking balls ("strike out", "exceptional" etc...) I think I specifically went into the pitcher pool here and there in 2041/2042, but now I just do HS and make someone stand out. The last 3 were all HS/college pool standouts I believe. I think DeLong was a pitcher only pool selection, as I really wanted to add some depth and got really lucky there. Little note on Reynoso, he's definitely the lowest prospect of the bunch, but the NP's on that board were lackluster, so he got the nod. I have another guy, Burgos, but he was a 2041 draft choice and I was kind of feeling the game out still. Burgos can make them whiff but he gives up a lot of long balls. |

"What the actual F" ... never hitter / amazing fielder / 11 range / 10 arm ... ok Left handed infielder ... being stupid |
