2007 CSBC Amateur Draft Round 1

[Swifty]

We auto'd people.

SF got auto'd, to name one immediately off the top of my head.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

This was still an important round. I got a player I don't want in a position that I don't need just because I didn't draft exactly in my time slot because I was waiting to see if anything would change with Mainge.

[CrimsonCane]

So you got one inconsequential player that the computer picked for you instead of the inconsequential player you would've picked on your own? Does that about sum it up?

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

There was a player that I wanted that went a few picks later that would have helped give me depth in a position that I am weak at that I couldn't get even though I was here and waiting for my pick. Instead, I ended up with a guy that is waaayyyy overvalued in his rating, is doubtful to ever get there and plays a position that I have better alternatives for and have a lot of depth in.

[Branch]

Aww, you gonna cry?

[Mainge]

That's silly, Moss.

[Swifty]

So trade him. Your strength may be another team's weakness.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

If I tried to trade him, I'd have to give up something else with him to get anything decent. My farm system is the worst in the CSBC thanks to Ellsbury and Volstad crashing. I can't afford to be giving away prospects just because I hate a guy that got picked for me.

[nny]

I'm thinking you overestimate catching prospects. He has good value.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

I'm thinking you haven't looked at him. I'm mean looked at his rates, not his four star rating.

[CrimsonCane]

MBA, I think nny knows what to look for to evaluate a prospect.

[Branch]

Yeah, I'm thinking it's not wise to doubt the evaluation skills of one of the best number crunchers on the board... he know what's up.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Okay. Come back and talk to me when this guys poor work ethic and mediocre at best talents cause him to crash.

[Branch]

Looking at him, he may not be of superstar caliber, but he's excellent defensively with potential for good power and a good eye, with decent contact. That's a good prospect, and if luck decides to drop him a ratings boost he could become a great spect. His WE is below average but his INT is extremely high. I can't fathom how you've managed to complain so much over this guy.

Also, as has been repeated and re-iterated to you a fucking million times by now, WE/INT/ratings have NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING to do with players crashing. ITS FUCKING RANDOM

[nny]

Again look at the other catcher prospects in the league. You're probably comparing his ratings to a "normal" prospect. Go look at the other C prospects in the league. No, he's not a tier-1 starter. Nobody on the board then was a tier-1 starter. He's a tier-2 starter though.
