With our first pick in the draft, we pulled a 21yo Latin relief pitcher that'll gain 3 SI per year who already has 32 wasted points and a propensity for the long ball and he'll drop to a 12 pot before long. Jealous? AND WITH THE FIRST PICK IN THE DRAFT...THE THUNDER SELECT.."HOT GARBAGE", RELIEF PITCHER, SLUMS OF MEXICO. Updated Friday, March 6 2026 @ 8:41:40 am PST

The draft pool has been an absolute joke and anything after the second round doesn't even produce a long shot prospect. Because the draft prospects are so bad, no real talent gets through to free agency. The second most enjoyable part of the game was seeing who won the prospect with 150+ claims. For me, all the fun was programmed out and the game has become more tedious than enjoyable. It has caused me to quit multiple times, only coming back on occasion to see if the fun was restored. Well, it hasn't and I'm about to let my team go once again. Too bad because I really used to like this game, and logged on multiple times each day. Now I'm on maybe once or twice a week, only for more disappointment. Sometimes when you fix what don't need fixing, you ruin what you had.

You were getting garbage in the old system too. I got a complete garbage 14 POT who is probably really a 12 POT. Even if he is a 13 POT, he will never be able to hit, so just a place holder until I need a roster spot.

Well, no power, an extreme groundball hitter, had 18 Speed but no history of stealing bases, and just 12 Range - in other words more like a 14 POT, great glove, hit for average 3B. Which is fine in itself. Also, you could draft this guy. An actual SS who should hit for a decent average and lots of power. That'll do.

Fortunately I pulled a better SS off of waivers. I hope Jimenez works out better for you.

lmartins6746 Joined: 06/01/2021 Posts: 90 Asheville Craft Brewers III.3	@Yankee While I am not a fan of the draft there are definitely long shots after the first round. We scored 5.3 runs per game last year with a 3rd, 4th, and a 5th round picks in our starting lineup (though I only drafted one of them). Also 2 3rds (1 SP 1 RP) and a 4th (RP) on the pitching staff. Nearly 25% of my major league team was drafted after the 2nd round. I've never seen anyone good after the 5th round.

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 10004 Haverhill Halflings Legends	There are sleepers though. I've even seen someone draft a POT 16 in round 8 before. That is why I check every Friday. The old format was just baseball packs. You got a random player who may or may not be any good. At least with the new format you can actually look at some players and choose who you like best.

atomic Joined: 12/05/2012 Posts: 96 Sunnyvale Rebels IV.5	@scowley75: This player has a very interesting scouting report. POT 16, but could "only" be a good hitter. Also only an above average slugger and even below average fielder. Looks like he'll end up having BC & PD at 20 when he's grown up.
