2019 Draft Discussion Thread

[LT]

With the first pick, I went with the Pitcher I felt had the best upside and potential for reaching it.  Kel Walden.  With my system needs, going young will hopefully be better for my future.

Baker 2B was my second choice and a sure thing top of the order #1/2 bat.

Baker was my third choice. I wanted and needed the only CF in this draft, Klebel. Walden was the clear #1 in my opinion.

Yeah a lot of time it comes down to need. I would have loved an ace so Walden was a wish list kind of thing but knew I wasn't getting him. Need dictated 2B for me.

I had a list of 3 guys I wanted. They all went ahead of me.

This is my first year in the league, but is this draft class......underwhelming?

I was going to say this was better than the past few. Lots of developmental types available.

We have had a few bad draft classes this has been under discussion in Off-season topic in OOTP 15 the draft class should be much better but dont worry it will be mentioned it makes picks less valuable

When 2018 ended I had no idea what I was going to do about getting quality middle infielders as they are hard to come by in the draft. A year later I have Steve Baker drafted and MacIntosh as my lead off hitter and SS. Not too bad.

Ya and I have drafted Jeff Padgett 27 SS for Virgina, Tommy Holm 21 SS Washington, Chris MacIntosh 21 SS New York, Ben Foley 24 Ontario. As you see 3 of the 4 are STARS I should have kept 1 of them dam I need a SS now lucky you

I was actually glad when I saw Simmons was pitching well for you, when I looked recently. I was glad we both had benefits from the deal.

Ya I was glad he was able to pitch well finally he was struggling at the start of the season but he should help my pen in Post season

This class is better than 2017 and 2018 but still fairly week. Next year and beyond should be much better. This is the final class before the first 4 year cycle of the feeder leagues. Something that I have my eye on.

Why I traded back this year?

SP Steve Vincent (HS)

And probably next year too?

SP Jeremy Emery (COL)
3B Mike Garza (COL)

I'm one to plan out for 5-6 years down the road, so scouting draft classes way ahead of time is always important for me!

I am in a pretty solid spot. I have two in the first round next year and moved up this year to fill a need. Still a strong place to be.

We are currently at #12 overall which is now the property of Iowa.

New York, Texas, Illinois are on deck!

The draft timer will start up on Thursday morning (7/10) at 8am CT with a 6 hour draft slot window for the 1st and 2nd rounds. Please be prepared and plan accordingly so we aren't held up for long periods of time. Thanks guys!

[mstreeter06]

New file should be up! I'll get Reports and Statslab updated soon.

2nd round is underway!

[Troyaof]

Whats the 2nd round timer? Also picks up for trade.

[mstreeter06]

6 hours for the 2nd round then 4 hours for 3rd and 4th. Then go down to 1-2 hours for the rest of the rounds.

For some reason I think ss Tim leach might be the steal/player to watch of this draft, was hopin he would fall to me and even considered takin him in the 1st round

Yeah you could be right. Definitely worth watching.
