Happy with our draft in Dillonvale considering this was a weaker class.
1st round:
1B Lou Pryor - 20/75 by my scout, 20/74 by OSA.
Looks to be a very good power hitter if he lives up to his expectations.
2nd round:
SP Chester Mitchell - 20/57 by my scout, 20/74 by OSA.
My scout says he will be a MR, OSA thinks he has the potential to have a good 3rd pitch and maybe becoming a starter one day. We will see how he pans out.
3rd round:
CL Ron Miller - 20/72 my scout, 20/76 OSA.
He should develop into a nice Closer for his career.
4th round:
2B Dexter Gonzalez - 20/46 my scout, 20/40 OSA
Will be a career 2B. Should have a very high hitting avg, but not much more, but that is why we were interested in him.
5th round:
SP Nick Thomas - 20/40 Scout, 20/72 OSA.
He will be nothing more than an average to below avg MR as he only has 2 pitches, unless a 3rd develops out of no where.

I love my 1st round pick.
My 2nd and 3rd rounders are blue by OSA, but 1 is a borderline starter/reliever.
My scout also drafted 5 straight pitchers.

I am fully aware of the ratings drop so I am leaving out those likely guys but my scout loved my draft. I had SS Sidney Blackwell #1 on my board, I think he has great talent but a lot of that is hit positional value. Had 1B Ramon Cora 3rd on my board and was thrilled to land him. Also added 3-4 70+ pot pitchers which the farm needed. Love the direction of the rebuild, all these comp picks have certainly helped.

I assure you that you did not have a good draft.

We have all learned to ignore the scouting differences. I try hard to sync my scout with OSA and doing that it looks much different on my end. The Greeks will be a huge threat in 4-5 seasons, I promise that.

Richmond needs to be moved back to the NL. Where do we get a petition started for this?

so I hit "ask scouting director for all rounds", and he drafts me a 46pot SP that he had 50+ other pitchers rated with higher potential at #9 overall pick. Makes sense. Love the in-game draft

Preach!!!
In-game draft is by far my least favorite thing we do in the league for that very reason. I think I mentioned last season I drafted a guy with like 30 potential or something in the 3rd or 4th round, but my scout drafted a guy with 77 potential in the 7th round. What???
