Houston is up ty5oke

Baltimore is on deck ryalaman

Guys - the 8th and 28th picks noted above needs to be swapped. When Cliff Lee was traded from Phils to Tigers, it was for the 28th pick and not the 8th. see link below. Per Pag, the game would only accept trading the 8th pick and Pag was going to fix it at time of the draft. Want to call it out here too so there are no issues.

So you have the 8th and Philly has the 28th?

correct

OK I fixed it above.

This starts tomorrow right?

Until this begins my #1 pick is up for trade.

Yup...trying to get a jump on it.

I'll have the pick in sometime this evening, I'd like to look them over in the game and not just league reports. Unless its traded, expect it by 7 PM PT

You want a package of picks for it ?

Thanks for getting this started Recchem. Busy day at work. Just now getting home.

unless my guy free falls to #7 my pick will likely be available, want to get in before the ban.

Please remind me when we get to the draft sim. I cant change draft order yet.

Check the trade subforum.

SP - Glenn "Top Dog" Simard - SIU Edwardsburg http://traditionsportsonline.com/tso-ootp/reports/html/players/player_31874.html

Gonna take a bit of a risk here with the 3rd overall pick.

The Dodgers select CL Orlando Jaramillo http://traditionsportsonline.com/tso-ootp/reports/html/players/player_32172.html

Hoping he can develop a third pitch.

1. SP Glen "Top Dog" Simard (Detroit)

Pros: Intelligence, Work Ethic, ++ Stuff and Control, + Movement, ++ Velocity

Cons: Stamina, Signability

Notes: This was an easy pick at #1. He was by far the best SP available in this year's draft class, and better than any of the pitchers drafted in 2012. If this guy can stay healthy, he is easily an Ace. Very much reminds me of Detroit's own Justin Verlander but with more control. His only negative though is his low stamina. I'd like to see stamina of at least 8 from an ace, but with his control he should be fine. He also has two huge intangibles in Very High Work Ethic and Intelligence.

Grade: A+

2. LF Dave Moore (Baltimore)

Pros: ++ Arm and Range. ++ Power. + Contact and Speed

Cons: Greed, Signability

Notes: I hate this pick at #2. I mean, he's a solid player. He has legit power (one of highest in the class) and excellent Range in the outfield and a great arm. His speed and contact are above average. Unfortunately he is not as good as the 2 Five Tool guys drafted much lower than him last year. He's a bit flawed with his slightly above average eye, and his tendency to make his fair share of errors in the outfield. But the big reason I hate it is because Ryal passed up an on base machine in LF Carlos Mendoza. I'll evaluate Mendoza later, but suffice it to say that Moore is not going to have as big an impact as Mendoza will.

Grade: B

Sadly, Marcos Mendoza was unable to read this praise.
