AFBL Headline News: Draft Pool Revealed
Friday, March 7th , 2070
The 2070 amateur draft pool was published today with barely a mention on BNN. But then, fans rarely get drawn into amateur drafts. The players are not known commodities and they're not tangible, recognizable names. They might be five years down the road, but casual fans don't get sucked in by "might be," they get excited about what is happening in the here and now. Over the next 30 days, scouts will assess their possibilities, run mock drafts and formulate their plans.
To help them, American Federation Baseball League has posted an interactive draft section on its Transactions page, which will be available for 80 days before draft day.
The early favorites to be high picks are the following:
1. Josh Floyd, 19 year-old 2B out of college.
2. Ken Shames, 19 year-old CF out of college.
3. Aaron LaCroix, 17 year-old LF out of high-school.
4. Calvin Dorey, 20 year-old LF out of college.
5. T.J. Beran, 20 year-old 1B out of college.
6. Steve Ailey, 19 year-old 1B out of college.
7. Ryan Paul, 16 year-old 1B out of high-school.
8. Dusty Lael, 16 year-old 1B out of high-school.
9. Danny Allmon, 20 year-old 1B out of college.
10. Mike Braun, 20 year-old LF out of college.
The official OSA Mock Draft will be released on the day of the draft, or you can review the draft pool on the draft page.
