Btw- that's two drafts now that De Sedas was sniped from me. I may have to join another league just to try to get him.
I like the Lolo and Conine picks.

Anyone else feel like this and the 2018 Summer Draft are one in the same...??

Once again we are at the spot on the record where the song just keeps skipping until someone nudges it.

Or Kody Clemens, 2B, Univ of Texas for those drafting amateurs.

Especially as I've grown lazier in my prospecting ways, it makes it much more difficult to track the players from the current year's draft that have already been taken.

I thought it was a typo and he knew something about Koby that the rest of the planet did not because he is probably not actually in the DET organization yet.
I also keep separate lists for professionals and amateurs in my database to keep track of them better. Kody was outside the top 100 so I was not tracking him as a amateur and then Fangraphs nor my spreadsheet had a Kody Clemens but did have a Koby and another which were older so I had to google Kody to get the right guy. Stupid fat Roger had to give all his kids simple two syllable 4 letter names that look the same at first glance. No offense to BOS but I hope he fails spectacularly like the rest of his brothers so I don't have to see Rogers squirrel cheek face anymore.

When I update the spreadsheet I always try to list the college or high school instead of the drafting team. And when I update the first post for each round I try to do the same.

I don’t understand how it’s difficult to track players based on drafting organizations? There’s only 1 Kody Clemens. I could see it being difficult for Joe Smith or John Anderson, but Kody Clemens? How many Kodys are on your draft board?
I’m just saying that’s some nitpicking right there.
I’m also upset that Kody is off the board. Damnitall.

How many Kodys are on your draft board? Since nothing else is going on here, I'll take this on Pick X was drafted out of the DET organization. SO I update my database with the pick and cross him off the prospect list so I don't draft him. Oh wait, he is not on my list of 1000 prospects (because he is not one). So I check Fangraphs and they do not have a Kody Clemens either (but the do have a Koby Clemens). That means he cannot be in an org so he must still be an amateur. He just happened to be outside the top 100 (I dont need more than that for 120 picks) so he was not on my amateur rank list either. I had to go to mlb.com or google to find a Kody and not Koby Clemens. In the end it cost me about a minute of my life I will not get back, but at this current pace of the draft just about anything becomes a conversation, and my online meeting was very boring. I bet its happened a half dozen times this year and no one has said anything so I don't really care either way. I just found it a good reason to complain about fat Roger and his stupid children with virtually the same name (Koby, Kody, Kacy. Look on the bright side, this is probably the most activity on the boards since the draft started.

consistency... thats all I'm asking for. want to post which team signed them... sure.. but it looks like the precedent has been guys who appeared in the MLB 2018 draft are listed with their college / high school team... guys select out of systems are listed as blah org.
consistency thats all I would like to see

You guys sound like a bunch a draft Nazis. Next thing you know you'll be asking everyone to make their draft posts whilst wearing pants.
It is a slippery slope, fellas.

if you get your pick submitted before 12 hours have passed, and you help us out with whether they are minor leaguers or amateurs, you can draft is your leather chaps, base assed if you want.

I’m actually in favor of consistency. Just seems like we’re all fairly knowledgeable and have internet access. My spreadsheet is just name, position, and a scouting note, so it seemed odd that where they came from mattered.
Thanks for the insight tho. It’s appreciated.

And for all of you draft Nazis... I made the pick half asleep on my phone so you're lucky I got that much.

I've sent my pick to Joe so he can get this thing going, either when Det picks or their time is up. I'll be gone until mid afternoon. Have a great day gentlemen.

Back in the day before these new smart phones I was a pro at texting on those. I could write out entire sentences without even looking at my phone. But one of my work phones is a flip phone now and I had to text like that a couple weeks ago and it was harder than I remember.

I went with another successful RP in the big's that has a closer ceiling. I love the 10+ K/9 and only 1 HR allowed this year in a fulltime role. Now I just need ZIPs to accept his MLB performance should be weighted higher than his potential on some "expert" lists. I saw a couple other guys who had better ZIPs than anything they ever did at the MLB level. How can you project that? I hate projections of potential when you have MLB data.

Connor texted me his pick. Tampa Bay Rays will select C. Brett Cumberland, out of the Atlanta Braves org, University of California, and Turlock High School. Definitely just spit out some coffee when I read this..

Definitely just spit out some coffee when I read this.. I wish people would list which middle school these kids attended. I start scouting them early and I have them listed that way. (And after typing that I realized the exact same thing could be said by a pedophile.)
