Did anyone else not have Mike Trout as #1?

Also: Chicago White Sox getting Chris Sale = :3:
Depending on how the ratings flesh out, Sale is a top 5-10 starter with random distribution. My last OOTP15 file he was a 10/8/8. With injuries off, he should be great.

There's a dude on the board that has already fallen far enough that I expect him to be the best value in the entire draft.

e: In real baseball, I don't know or care about OOTP.

e2: Miguel Sano is a Real Bad Draft Pick no offense
Why is he a bad draft pick if you know nothing about OOTP?

I've started 10-15 OOTP15 games and he's got ML ready talent in every single one. That's the game overrating him, not me. It would take a really pessimistic ratings distribution from IcePhoenix to make him not good.

Even though Sano has good ratings from OOTP, I still think it would be cool to see him play 162 game season with no injuries. I am assembling a lineup of people I think to be cool. I will probably pick more prospects so I am sorry in advance.

It isn't like he's insultingly far away either. Pre-Injury he probably could have made the Twins by next year. People were even speculating that he could have been a Sept call up this year, but with the super two fetish going on, I doubt it.

OOTP 13 made Sean O' Sullivan an elite level 2B/SS/OF Ben Zobrist type player who played for 15 years and made the Hall of Fame

Real quick - how bad are positional adjustments if I were to say... switch a 3rd basemen to 2nd?
Depends on who it is. In OOTP land if someone is great defensively at one infield position, they can learn the new position over the course of a season (it might not be pretty though). It all depends on their stats - range, arm, errors, etc. Since this is only a one season sim, I wouldn't recommend it unless doing career play.

However, depending on what player it is, they might already have aptitude at that position.

The Angels new Mark Trumbo. Has power, can only play 1B/DH.

My reasoning for taking Javier Baez is that he's a lottery ticket. If he gets a good roll he might hit as well enough to be worth it, if he doesn't, well I'll just have to draft someone who can man SS later. Archie Bradley is basically the same idea: if he completely busts I'll move him to LR or something, but I think that the possible upside is worth gambling on.
This is a fake thing for fun, just pick who you want to. Don't need to explain it to anybody

I was just coming to that conclusion as a 'lets get this draft over with' and the 25th guy likely won't matter for a lot of teams. It's taking 1-2 days just to get the 23rd pick in. If people could post whenever, it might speed things up.

That was my only line of thinking.

I thought about going to a 4 man rotation, but I have so many pitchers. Especially with no injuries, there's no downside.
