Just because I find pitchers are less about build and more about the stats they show when playing (WHIP, GB/FB, etc) and generally are easier to scout/find on waivers when they have some minor league record to go on top of their Amateur/Overseas stats. (Take all advice with the grain of salt that ive been stuck in LLVI for what feels like forever haha)

Not to say I won't draft one if I see a good one on my board, but I've never drafted from the pitcher pool. If I need immediate help I sometimes draft Asian. If I am in solid shape I usually draft Highschool. And if I have a couple holes coming up I usually draft College. I usually draft from the Latin pool in the later rounds. I've tried the SS without much luck. Most of the best skill players I have drafted came out of the 1B pool.

Lately I have had a good run from the High School pool except this season's player was a bit of a drop off from previous first rounds. I think I have tried college pool a few times and it was hit or miss. I have tried the Asian pool twice. The first time I got a serviceable starter to use right away and the second time stunk so I have not gone back. What all of this is worth for anyone else I honestly don't know. lol

I don't think personally he is our answer at second base for the future but think he can be a very good OF. if everything develops correctly he should be a good Hit/Pow guy with the range to cover alot of ground in the burrows. I think I am going to try to train him in most of the IF positions as well, become a utility guy when needed Updated Monday, August 8 2022 @ 7:16:14 am PDT
