Thanks for posts! Game is even more fun with a bit of narrative.

Dino brass loves Madden. Lately we've had trouble finding guys that look like OFers. I'd be optimistic Madden is better than an 11, and will have more than enough bat to justify that D.

55 SB on a guy who wants to play C. :) Shame he doesn't have hit scouting, but 10 in rookie ball is encouraging.

Gomez is going to be a star. :o

Really nice season from Rojas. One thing catches my eye is that he has held RHB down. Dinos Silinas is similar. Think sometimes LHP fatten minor league stats against LHB, and then struggle against more savily built human batting orders.

Looks like Brady is already getting a chance. :) Would worry me a bit at 2B, but that bat will play at any position.

Very nice rookie campaign by Machado. Terrific asset. For some reason there's a voice in my head warning me that his fielding skill may disappoint. I'm assuming SS is his pathway. If he were a Dino we might have him train OF as his second position. Probably undue caution.

Yeah, I'm in the process of moving Brady to the field.
And you're right, he's getting his shot already. Angel Cantu was struggling recently so we decided to give Brady a try instead. Both will be in the lineup next season though!

Playing the waiting game on #5 BB global prospect Home Run Ron Payton to arrive. 20 HR seasons at A, AA, and AAA. Has the highest SI of any 20 year old in BB right now. He is a five-tool guy (can hit, hit 4 power, speed, fielding, arm) and projected to play at 3B. Excitementing.

Oh wow, your post just made me check, and my Elwood Blake has the highest SI of any player 17 and under! Interesting!

Payton looks unfair... Glad I will be demoting before I have to face him :p

This was my best draft since the unreal '41 class. Madden may end up being the best of the bunch. I don't think I've had an L/L CF who can hit show up on a draft board maybe ever. Happy to have him. His numbers are very encouraging and I'm pretty optimistic that his POT is gonna go in a good direction.

Haha! What's he missing? Aside from all the stuff that is written ...

Stolen base gene? Check.
Launch angle? Check.
Clutch? RISP 40 points higher. Check.
Platoon split? Dead even. Check.

Given his current skills his potential might be underselling him. I'm scared to look at Denver's roster to see what is pushing him off SS. :)

That (not that) guy sure hits good for not being able to hit good.

Much like he fields poorly for being amazing.

Getting ahead of myself, but I miss the old surf club.
