Ok I just looked at the trade again from a computer and all three players are still trash. Pulido has a .293 career MiLB OBP over a pretty large sample. He's going to hit like .180/.210/.330 in the bigs (where he will never be on my team because he's going to AA).

trade him to me I need a backup SS

If anyone's interested in Juan Tavarez I'm considering rolling with a pure PC pitcher and Shayne Kearns instead of two middling-PC all-bat types.

Someday your wikipedia page will mention how much you screwed yourself, your ballclub, and the entire city by not raising your offer. I'll see you in Cooperstown.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

This draft seems to have some really good if slightly weird players up at the top, and then hoo boy does it fall off in a hurry. I might do a write up tomorrow if I wake up early enough before work.

I miss when the amateur draft was an exciting event in the season. I got super spoiled by having top 5 picks in my first four seasons (and #13 in the fifth) but picking between AAA lifers is soooo boring.
