I can't believe Posey lasted as long as he did. I guess some people have a thing against catchers since they don't play "every day".

Posey was number 2 on my board after Cano :v:

I'm surprised injury-free Gonzalez fell as much as he did. Sure, OF isn't a premium position, but he's up there with McCutchen and Stanton in that group just below Trout.

He is a 120-ish career OPS+ left fielder with shoddy defense. I don't think too many people are kicking themselves here.

Really? I don't want to shill the $40 to get a better picture of how good they are in the simulation, but I don't want to get screwed over every time I pick either just because I'm not familiar with how the system values players.

He has his flaws, but those are mostly tied to his injury history, and if that isn't a problem, then I'm not seeing where we differ so strongly on our evaluation of him. Out of the top 10 in his position seems really low to me.

Don't worry, it could have been way worse. You could have drafted Carlos Gomez :v:

With the 23rd pick, the New York Mets select Carlos Gomez's IRL teammate Ryan Braun to piss off the New York Media.



The San Fransico Giants are up next.

This was the biggest reason why selecting Carlos Gonzales was really dumb, by the way.

I am very happy to have been able to get Jared Weaver here. He is (In my opinion) the last ace available.

That being said, there is one player that I am honestly extremely shocked has not been picked yet considering how good he is, and the position he plays. I expect him to be taken soon, but this punto fell hard!.

Your opinion is wrong.

Well that's way higher than I expected Simmons to go. He was the autodraft that OOTP has been waiting to drop on someone for a while.

Yeah, it's just way too high to take a player who is going to have an OBP of .300.

Maybe he ranks 2B by height.

You're supposed to call undrafted guys Nick Puntos, and not refer to them by name.

:cmon:

Unless anyone objects, I'd happily pick for you if you Twitter DM me instructions.

Honestly people who are going to maybe miss a pick should start doing this. Just pick a list of people in order of preference to a third party and the problem is solved.

I still think Desmond is better than Lowrie but I think they're more or less identical in value in the game.

Yeah, they are actually pretty similar players. I don't think the gap between them is all that large. That being said, I was very pleased to get Desmond here. A middle infield of Cano/Desmond is pretty great.

So how awful were my picks? I spent a lot of time picking between several puntos before settling on this mix of offense (both are good hitters) and defense (Gordon good, Pence bad).

It's not so much the picks you've made, but rather the ones you have not made. I know you're in Colorado and pitching there is gonna be a crapshoot, but pitching is going to get pretty thin pretty fast.

Real quick - how bad are positional adjustments if I were to say... switch a 3rd basemen to 2nd?

In real life? If a guy had the arm to play third and the range to play 2nd then he would probably already be a shortstop. So probably poorly.

In video game land? Probably poorly, probably thinks that guy turns into a sniveling baby when put on 2nd, though someone with more experience with OotP can answer this better than I.

I think a lot of the prospects being taken are guys who are THIS CLOSE to the majors and thus the people drafting them are banking on them making that last step and being big contributors.

How many of those prospects pan out I have no idea.

Miguel Sano being taken at all is hilariously stupid, let alone at like 110 or wherever the hell he was taken.

He's certainly no Gregor Blanco, who will not fail to be Gregor Blanco.

He's a plus defender in Centerfield who gets on base at an average clip. This late in the draft I'm pretty happy with that pick
