So has everyone had a good look at the draft board? What do you all think?? And if we could get a little clarification on the manner in which the draft is going to be conducted? I got my list ready. Mebbe we could get a poll up if ppl prefer a live draft vs the draft list. I think if we tried we could knock out a solid fun draft in a day or two. Depends on if ppl are active on the forums, and want to devote the time to it. Just a thought. 1st round draft order: 1. Baltimore Orioles- 3B Carlos Castello http://traditionsportsonline.com/tso-ootp/reports/html/players/player_32697.html 2.

We have two sims (4 days ) until the draft is done. We have 2 guys who won't join until Thursday. Unless we freeze things, this cant be done. We tested the draft lists in game and they work. If guys want to start posting picks, that's fine. Like I said, next season we will use a draft utility. I think that will liven up the draft discussion as guys can see and sort players without having the game, so we can actually put a timer on each pick.
ryalaman feel free to post your pick. And tag or message next in line. Im not in game so don't know draft order. Its possible we can complete 2 rounds by Monday
I am just bummed I don't have any draft picks..... jk. heh =-) I am very much looking forward to the draft
Deciding between 2 guys. I came to 1 to get castello, but I also fell in love with a pitcher. Ill look at it when I get home (20 min?) and come to a final decision. I'm also pretty sure #2 is the twins, so that's a commish pick.
Cool, can you post draft order if it's not too much trouble. Already know who the Twins are going to pick. Pretty easy choice if you look at their top prospects.
1st round draft order: 1. Baltimore Orioles 2. Minnesota Twins (CPU) 3. Seattle Mariners 4. Houston Astros 5. Chicago Cubs 6. San Diego Padres 7. KC Royals 8. Pittsburgh Pirates 9. Miami Marlins 10. Colorado Rockies 11. Oakland Athletics 12. NY Mets 13. Chicago White Sox 14. Cincinnati Reds (CPU) 15. Cleveland Indians 16. Washington Nationals 17. Detroit Tigers 18. LA Dodgers 19. LA Angels 20. San Francisco Giants 21. NY Yankees 22. Atlanta Braves 23. Boston Red Sawx 24. St Louis Cardinals (CPU) 25. Tampa Bay Rays 26. Arizona Diamondbacks 27. Detroit Tigers 28. Milwaukee Brewers 29. Texas Rangers 30. Philadelphia Phillies (CPU)
And with the first pick in the 2012 first year player draft, the Baltimore Orioles select: Carlos Castello, 3B from Clemson (despite the fact that he's probably a racist like the rest of their fans, amirite?) Pagamer07 the Twins are now up
With the 2nd pick in the draft, the Minnesota Twins select: SP Berde "Extreme" Lauritzen from Billerica, MA http://traditionsportsonline.com/tso-ootp/reports/html/players/player_33033.html Dylema you are on the clock Im hoping he is around at some point today...
BTW, like I told you in the Skype chat... Castello was #1 on my board due to needs. THink he is going to be a fantastic hitter. There is a helluva 2B out there too with 9 contact.
might as well tag everyone in the top 10 and maybe they can get you a list. i would but its a pain from the kindle
Good point cole. Dylema ty5oke NDCOLTS1979 Gavin O'Brien Dan Heckelbeck Pagamer07 JohnnyClutch County5 You guys are on deck.
http://traditionsportsonline.com/ts...ague_100_rookie_draft_pool_batter_report.html http://traditionsportsonline.com/ts...gue_100_rookie_draft_pool_pitcher_report.html Those are all the players in the draft pool. Unfortunately, that is not sortable Next year, we will implement statslab which is freaking awesome.
My bad, it said they were in game and I can't ever remember who has what team off the top of my head.
This is statlab. http://pebabaseball.com/statslab11_...=top100&team_id=ALL&from=2007&to=2015&stat=ab You can do so much on this outside of the game. The biggest is obviously drafting. Feel free to tinker around with this.
I'm not sure I understand... do I need to rank players that I would draft? Or are we doing each pick round by round from the list in the game? I'm not sure I understand what I need to do here??? I was thinking the picks were auto picks. Let me know so I don't hold anyone up please, thanks.
Yeah... he's got all the makings of an MVP type hitter. His potential is arguably every bit as good as Bryce Harpers. His defense isn't half bad either for a slugger. I think he probably comes in as a top 5 type prospect and I hope all that extra money I'm spending on player development gets him up to the majors quickly.
We're gonna try to get through a little bit of the draft outside of the game, and everything else will be autopicked
Ok, sounds good. Hmmmm, I will have to look at it tonight, sorry for holding everyone up. UNLESS, unless, there is a link on here for the draft pool that I can try and look at from work....
