I fell for my weakness of going for the International board late (I still feel like that should be expanded to make the World Classic more interesting), and got a whole load of nothing.

We somehow lucked out again and got Murray. I’ll take him any day.

Sometimes I don't even get great options in rounds 1-3. Do wish there was a little less luck involved in getting decent players in the earlier rounds

Not a good prospect, but I still have my #8 from last season. I will be pleasantly surprised if even one of the guys in the last three draft classes makes it to the major league squad. Haverhill lives and dies by waivers. I also wish there was a little bit less luck in the draft, but there are others who wish there was more. So we know we can't make everyone happy Updated Friday, November 5 2021 @ 5:45:45 pm PDT

My first 4 are probably gonna make the majors sometime, no. 5 is an edge case; could become a decent closer possibly. I got So really, I was due some terrible choices. But to compare, I only have my first pick from last year. He was the only guy I drafted in '51 who was 13 or above potential. This year ALL of my first 4 draft picks were 13 or above. You win some, you lose some.

However, last year was solid, 3 of 4 2051 picks remain, #1 is the only sure bet to make the majors but others had proper builds, they just havent been improving on their weaknesses. So the picks were not mistakes, it just is what it is. This year has been different. #1-#3 have significant to major flaws. #5 might outlast all of them, if his fielding gets to outstanding and he can be an emergency backup to every key position. I have never found anyone useful in rounds 6-8, but I have seen quite few on waivers/free agency that I have signed from those rounds, so people do find them.
