It Is That Time of The Seson Again

The Draft Pool cometh!!! Has everyone looked over their minors to see what the needs are to complement your Major League team? I have and with the 20th pick it is highly doubtful the player I need will be there. If this draft pool is like the last four I have had, it will be a rude awakening to everyone.

I have been through three drafts and four draft pools (think the last pool was undrafted players from the previous three) so far since the big change. Everyone has gotten a good first pick, but after that there just isn't much. Since they changed the OVR for pitchers, they didn't fix the draft pool to compensate is the biggest problem. Have you ever seen a draft with just one pitcher taken in the first 10 picks? I have seen it twice now. Middle relievers have had better ratings than starters for the most part. The Starters haven't really been all that good even for the old middle first round picks. The good Setup/Closers have been relegated to the third and fourth rounds as opposed to late first round, supplemental, and early second round if you can even find a decent one.

Most don't like the Formula Builder either as the old way is more preferred. It takes some tinkering to find the right mix with the formula.

Happy Draft Pool everyone!
