Testing… Testing… is this mic working… Would the Gentleman from Bakersfield please put the bowling balls away…

What is a peba draft without bowling balls
Yuma 9:26 AM
Such anger!
9:26
How do I make that clip disappear? It’s very disturbing.
Scott-Duluth 9:27 AM
I will admit to watching both bowling and midget wrestling as a youngster
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:27 AM
you had me at midget wrestling
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 9:29 AM
The irony is that bowling balls began to be brandished at the draft only AFTER Reno was no longer the Tenpinners! :man-shrugging:

Yuma 9:29 AM
I am just adding text
9:29
To make that angry man disappear
9:29
Off the top of my screen!
9:30
Ah, success. He evaporated.
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 9:30 AM
That’s no way to talk about our commissioner!

Ken - Farstriders 9:30 AM
the florida delegation has arrived... we're wearing shin guards this year looks at bakersfield menacingly
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:31 AM
Arlington has arrived, and we're ready to draft the future
Evan - Underground 9:32 AM
Anyone care for a spot of tea? :flag-gb:

Bourbon, American Tea!
Scott-Duluth 9:35 AM
Started my day with Woodford Reserve in my coffee while I watch it rain out all the games in the area today.
Nap coming on. Smokey is on alert to handle everything between overall picks 6 through 100.
Mike - Borealis 9:35 AM
How bad is the draft class? Only 22 hitters with a contact of 5 or better… OSA says there is 34…
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:36 AM
yikes....
9:36
slim pickings to be sure. Let us hope the RNG gods bless our picks with positive development
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:36 AM
It's actually fairly realistic to real drafts. Outside of the top guys, the rest are project players you hope can develop
Evan - Underground 9:37 AM
I don't have the budget to earn the favor of the RNG gods of development lol
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:37 AM
yes @Dylan - Wind Dancers but OOTP late picks rarely develop, unless "nudged"
Scott - Zephyrs 9:38 AM
Building through the draft is quite difficult

Ken - Farstriders 9:38 AM
looking forward to seeing how the Farstriders' R&D department did with their prospect sorting algorithm...
Yuma 9:38 AM
Realistic, Dylan? In comparison to what? The defunct MLB ? We need to be better. We need a super draft! We need to be UNrealistic!
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:38 AM
It's not like players regularly develop from late rounds IRL.
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:39 AM
true, but look at Zach McKinstry on the Dodgers. I believe he was picked like in the 33rd round, and he made his debut last year and was tearing through the league before his injury
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:40 AM
"tearing through the league" with 7 PA's?
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:40 AM
he had more this season
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:41 AM
58 PA's is no where near enough of a test size
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:41 AM
54 AB's, .296/.328/.556/.883. That's where the injury comes into play (edited)
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:42 AM
And that sample size is no where near enough to consider him a success
Mike - Borealis 9:42 AM
Still… 54 ABs is not an adequate sample size…
9:42
Give me 540 and we can talk…
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:43 AM
he was successful, then he strained his oblique
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:43 AM
54 AB's is not success in the majors
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:43 AM
it was certainly a start
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:43 AM
Ohtani hit .190 in 175 last year
9:43
Not enough of a sample size
9:44
clearly
Evan - Underground 9:44 AM
Ohtani
Yuma 9:44 AM
He’s a pleasure to watch.
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:44 AM
Crushing it this year
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:44 AM
And regardless, a few players make sense, not regularly.
Marco.C - Calzoneros 9:45 AM
Ready and waiting #draftday
Yuma 9:45 AM
I still haven’t seen him pitch in person, but his hitting has been impressive.
9:45
Ohtani, that is.
Andy - Harpoon 9:45 AM
we do have a potential Ohtani this draft here
2
Yuma 9:45 AM
Shhh!
Scott-Duluth 9:45 AM
It used to be second time through the league was the test. Can the youngster adjust to the adjustments.
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:45 AM
I saw Bryce Harper for the first time in person a few weeks ago. Didn't perform very well, but it was great to see. I'll get a chance to see Fernando Tatis Jr. on Wednesday
Andy - Harpoon 9:46 AM
but knowing OOTP he wouldn't "survive" the development
Yuma 9:46 AM
Ah, Tatis is dynamite, even when he’s making errors!
9:46
San Diego is transformed because of him. And I don’t just mean the Padres.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:48 AM
People constantly praise Ohtani's pitching because he racks up K's and throws hard but ignore that he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if you asked him to
Yuma 9:49 AM
No, Dylan, he nails that barn broadside exactly 50% of the time!
Andy - Harpoon 9:49 AM
50% of the time he hit it the barn 100%.
Scott - Zephyrs 9:49 AM
I have hometown bias but Shane Bieber has been a plaesure to watch in person
Yuma 9:50 AM
What hometown is that, Scott?
Scott - Zephyrs 9:50 AM
I also enjoyed Corey Kluber in his prime
9:50
Cleveland
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:50 AM
The other half of the time he drills the farmer working in the field 3 blocks away
Scott - Zephyrs 9:50 AM
not Reno
Yuma 9:50 AM
Too bad. The Aces are a hot club again this year.
Evan - Underground 9:51 AM
I just enjoy watching a decent MLB pitcher whose also able to regularly launch balls like they are $DOGE -> to the moon!
Yuma 9:51 AM
What does “$DOGE->” mean?
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:51 AM
It means you hit your head too many times and aren't thinking clearly
Andy - Harpoon 9:51 AM
it's a cryptocurrency
9:51
that went up over the moon in value
9:52
recently
Yuma 9:52 AM
Neither of which I understand, he say, pounding the side of his head.
9:52
What makes a currency “crypto”? Does it have cryptonite?'
Ken - Farstriders 9:52 AM
i choose not to think about crypto... whenever i do, i take a tiny pill from the bottle bob gave me and i forget the last five minutes
Andy - Harpoon 9:52 AM
errr, it's like a company stock that somehow went up from say, $0.1 to $1000 per unit.
9:53
and I would take cryptonite currency
Yuma 9:53 AM
I do NOT supply people with bottles of pills! Just soothing, healthy, water!
Ken - Farstriders 9:53 AM
you must have taken one of those pills after you gave me the bottle, bob
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:53 AM
"Somehow" as in it got meme'd into existence and boosted by the whole Gamestop/AMC debacle
Evan - Underground 9:53 AM
It's up 26,000% over the last 6 months
Yuma 9:53 AM
Company stock … that’s like all the books on shelves at Amazon’s warehouse?
Andy - Harpoon 9:53 AM
as good a description as any
Yuma 9:54 AM
You guys talk funny.
Andy - Harpoon 9:54 AM
not sure if the Amazon warehouse still have too many books nowaday though.
Yuma 9:54 AM
The one outside Reno does! More than a million,.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:55 AM
Alright, back to the draft which is starting in 5 minutes
Andy - Harpoon 9:55 AM
Kindle's the thing.
Yuma 9:55 AM
Close the window if there’s a draft.
Andy - Harpoon 9:55 AM
but I much prefer physical book.
Yuma 9:55 AM
During the first year of Covid I read 200+ books and only 2 Kindle versions.
1
Andy - Harpoon 9:55 AM
nothing can replace touching it for real and the smell
Yuma 9:55 AM
Yeah!
Andy - Harpoon 9:56 AM
and darn 200+ books
Scott - Zephyrs 9:56 AM
200 has to impress even the most avid readers
Yuma 9:56 AM
What else is retirement good for? Reading and writing. I also finished a novel and started a play and wrote all those PEBA stories.
9:56
Of course, I didn’t go out to dinner or socialize or go to any plays or attrend any baseball games.

Hush up, Bob, it’s the Commish!
Mike - Borealis 9:58 AM
Welcome to the Asheville Hotel in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina for the 27th Annual PEBA Draft!
9:58
Today we welcome the future stars of baseball!!!
9:58
For today’s first day of the draft we will attempt to complete 5 rounds, and GMs will be allotted approximately 5 minutes to make their top two round selections, with further rounds limited to approximately 2 minutes. We strongly encourage you (‘Harry’ looks at his watch, again), in the best interests of the league, to be prepared and make your selections with diligence and speed. Keeping an updated list is StatsLab is always a solid plan – especially if you will be absent or miss a pick.
9:58
Selections are to be made in StatsLab, by selecting the player you want to draft and clicking the draft button. You may very well need to refresh your browser when it’s your turn.

Marco.C - Calzoneros 9:59 AM
Mike - Borealis 9:59 AM
If you anticipate missing a turn – or will be leaving, please inform Dylan so we can be prepared to move forward quickly. I will, for the first time ever, have to bail early today, so please do your part to make things easy for Dylan – he’s the champion behind the scenes!
Yuma 9:59 AM
Go Dylan!
Mike - Borealis 9:59 AM
Slack will announce your pick in this channel, but PLEASE feel free to make that announcement yourself, as you see fit, and please discuss picks freely as I’m sure we ALL have opinions…
Yuma 10:00 AM
Who … us?
Dan - Ghosts 10:00 AM
No, us!
Michael - Malts 10:00 AM
Let’s get it!
Lenny- Bears 10:00 AM
Yes us.
Mike - Borealis 10:00 AM
Dylan will be processing the selections behind the scenes, and we will attempt to give teams a heads up when they are ‘on-deck’ and ‘in-the-hole’, so do try to be aware and following things so we can move as quickly as possible – ‘be present’. Be patient with the Win-D’s and Borealis picks, as we try to juggle two jobs here… Always try to have a back-up plan in the event the guy you are ‘locked in on’ is taken…
Lenny- Bears 10:00 AM
Wait…whos us?
Kevin - Evas 10:00 AM
Good luck everyone!
1
Andy - Harpoon 10:00 AM
my opinion is that everyone should pass till #14 (edited)
Mike - Borealis 10:00 AM
Lastly, if you have an export to make, please have it sent before we finish tomorrow’s Day 2…
10:00
I think I’ve covered everything – any other questions or comments?
Dan - Ghosts 10:01 AM
At your mark, commish.
Jaime - Kalamazoo 10:01 AM
Kalamazoo has arrive. It looks like the plane had a bumpy landing and the GM hit his head on the headrest in front of him.
Mike - Borealis 10:01 AM
With no further ado – I declare the 2033 PEBA Draft Live:
The Niihama-shi Ghosts are on the clock… the Yuma Arroyos are on deck… and the Tempe Knights are in the hole…
Dan - Ghosts 10:01 AM
With the first selection of the 2033 PEBA Amateur Draft, the Niihama-shi Ghosts select Curtin University standout John MacVurich out of Scotland. We don't know where he'll play but it will be at least in one place.
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:01 AM
DRAAAAAAFT
StatsLabAPP 10:01 AM
PEBA Draft Pick 1.1: The Niihama-shi Ghosts select 3B John MacVurich

Andy - Harpoon 10:01 AM
his nickname is Split, super fitting
Marco.C - Calzoneros 10:01 AM
3rd in my mock draft
Yuma 10:01 AM
So much for any drama around the 2-way player.
StatsLabAPP 10:01 AM
PEBA Draft Pick 1.2: The Yuma Arroyos select P Michael Farmer
Kevin - Evas 10:02 AM
Most interesting player in the draft
10:02
Nice high floor.
Yuma 10:02 AM
Yuma picks a starting pitcher. Yawn.
Andy - Harpoon 10:02 AM
ooo a Farmer
Dan - Ghosts 10:02 AM
I'll take the free reliever while I suffer his terrible defense.
Brian - Tempe 10:02 AM
Tempe selects SP Tetsui Suzuki. But I need someone to enter it for me
Marco.C - Calzoneros 10:02 AM
Nice pick solid SP
Andy - Harpoon 10:02 AM
Yuma putting the farmer in the farm
Scott - Zephyrs 10:02 AM
2,3,1 according to my scout
StatsLabAPP 10:02 AM
PEBA Draft Pick 1.3: The Tempe Knights select P Tetsui Suzuki
Mike - Borealis 10:02 AM
List pick…
Ron - Akira 10:02 AM
Do you have a plan when you're trading him to Kevin?
Lenny- Bears 10:02 AM
Ok now it’s shot for me.

Scottish up, Duluth on deck
Yuma 10:04 AM
We’ll get them soon enough, boys!

Dan - Ghosts 10:04 AM
The top of this board is not well agreed upon.
Lenny- Bears 10:04 AM
No it is not
Yuma 10:05 AM
Makes life more interesting.
Ken - Farstriders 10:05 AM
thats definitely true... i think 10 different teams could have had the number 1 pick with 10 different selections...
2
Yuma 10:06 AM
The Scottish are on list pick, Dylan.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:06 AM
Yep, but we need to make sure he wants auto'd first
10:06
There are a lot of people on Auto/List that are actually here
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:06 AM
He’s a rookie
Yuma 10:06 AM
But he’s not on line.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:06 AM
Or rather they were
10:06
You can be online on mobile without the light being on
10:07
I'll auto at 1:08
10:07
Round 1, people get the time they need no matter what
Ken - Farstriders 10:07 AM
makes sense to not force an auto pick at #5...
Yuma 10:07 AM
I hope he means 10:08
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:07 AM
Nope, you have to wait 3 hours Bob
Yuma 10:07 AM
Nap time!
Greg - Alleghenies 10:07 AM
Bob stop by, I am lighting joint #3
Lenny- Bears 10:07 AM

Alright picking for him

Kevin - Evas 10:11 AM
I like that one too
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:11 AM
Will Taylor, or Won’t Taylor?
StatsLabAPP 10:12 AM
PEBA Draft Pick 1.7: The Bakersfield Bears select RF Marvin Alvarez
Scott-Duluth 10:12 AM
Hmm. On list pick . Not sure why I had to manually do it.
Blame the bourbon coffee
Brian - Tempe 10:12 AM

Greg - Alleghenies 10:13 AM
I am thinking Manchester will pick the guy I want at 21
Andy - Harpoon 10:14 AM
Bob's the real mad man
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:14 AM
True
Yuma 10:14 AM
Bob, mad? Never. The drugs keep me happy.
Scott - Zephyrs 10:14 AM
You can drink without guilt Andy!
Andy - Harpoon 10:15 AM

PEBA Draft Pick 1.8: The Charleston Statesmen select 2B Maurice Page
Justin - Bureaucrats 10:16 AM

Dan - Ghosts 10:16 AM
Nice pick there, too.
Ken - Farstriders 10:16 AM
nice pick. i like maurice

Sorry, Evan, we are not picking pups out of a litter.
Mike - Borealis 10:18 AM
I’m with you Evan - with just a supp pick and then a 4th, I feel so much pressure not to screw up that first one…
Evan - Underground 10:18 AM
That's the difference between you and I, Bob
Yuma 10:18 AM
What? You’re picking dogs?
Andy - Harpoon 10:19 AM
horses
Greg - Alleghenies 10:19 AM
I feel no pressure as I an letting all my guys go back in draft except pick 21 and 56 (for 1st 3 rounds)
Evan - Underground 10:19 AM
If I get lucky my second choice at 11 will still be there at 19 but only a fool believes in luck
Greg - Alleghenies 10:19 AM
I am not even giving them a hat.
David - Claymores 10:19 AM
sorry, guys, was having dinner, at least got the top guy i wanted

You need to move to a later time zone, David.

I actually think Evan might take my guy. His scout and mine if I am correct think alike
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 10:22 AM
I’m driving kids around to sports today, so a bit here and there. Will try to be on for my picks

Alright. I need to bounce. No picks on the agenda this year.
Good luck to everyone. Lots of solid picks so far.

My friend is in Colorado for weekend and I told them to bring me a vile of it home, they looked at me like I was from Mars. I guess they just don't know
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 10:26 AM
Only those who know, know
Dan - Ghosts 10:26 AM
Is a vile a unit of measurement of Colorado River Water?
Evan - Underground 10:26 AM
After much consideration during the last few minutes I have decided to follow my scout's lead and select #2 on my draft board. From just up north of Her Majesty's England (though currently pitching for Hosei University)...
StatsLabAPP 10:26 AM
PEBA Draft Pick 1.11: The London Underground select P Andrew Bevan
Justin - Bureaucrats 10:26 AM
i think it's Vial
Yuma 10:27 AM
No, Vail, Colorado.
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 10:27 AM
Vile?
Yuma 10:27 AM
Vail is vile.
Dan - Ghosts 10:27 AM
Vail is not Vile!
Yuma 10:27 AM
Yes it is!
Ken - Farstriders 10:27 AM
nice pick evan
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:27 AM
I almost took Bevan with my pick
Reg - Trendsetters 10:27 AM
working on my pick now
Justin - Bureaucrats 10:27 AM
Vail is expensive
Dan - Ghosts 10:27 AM
I hear it's pretty overpriced so maybe you're right.

While the sun does sadly set on the British Empire of 2033, I am pleased to be able to bring in a gentleman who still resides within the Empire. Even if he is a Scot..
Marco.C - Calzoneros 10:30 AM

Yuma will donate a case of river water to Dylan … as well as any of our draft picks tomorrow!
Mike - Borealis 10:34 AM
There’s a reason we post things for review…
10:34
Just saying…
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:34 AM
Now unfortunately NO took the obvious next pick, so I have to do some research
Yuma 10:34 AM
Oh, heavens, no, Denny. Don’t stoop to research! Intuition, man, intuition.
Ken - Farstriders 10:35 AM
gotta go with your gut
10:35
for instance: funniest name
Yuma 10:35 AM
Or your head or your heart or … yeah, something silly like names!
Ken - Farstriders 10:35 AM
you are guaranteed the funniest name at this point in the draft
Reg - Trendsetters 10:35 AM
the "awesome name mock draft" was great a few years ago
Yuma 10:35 AM
Sieb Angelbeek!
Ken - Farstriders 10:36 AM
we need to do it again!
Reg - Trendsetters 10:36 AM
agreed
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:36 AM
It's been 5 minutes since I updated the pick
Mike - Borealis 10:36 AM
tick… tick… tick… Denny…
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:36 AM

Sadly, Denny is trying to do research. What that can possibly mean, no one knows.

Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:37 AM
When in doubt, pick a dutch player
Mike - Borealis 10:37 AM
I say Masaharu Suzuki, #1230 in my list…
Ken - Farstriders 10:37 AM
the dutch are clutch
Dan - Ghosts 10:37 AM
Just ask Vinnie de Brouwer!
Greg - Alleghenies 10:37 AM
You have a list that long?
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:37 AM
Favorite name in this draft is Guido Westerbos (edited)
Greg - Alleghenies 10:37 AM
I don't even have 1 on my list
Yuma 10:37 AM
Ah, sweet Vinnie!
Patrick - Havana 10:38 AM
the dutch are clutch, we know that much but if you need a win hire a Finn!
Dan - Ghosts 10:38 AM
Shady Vinnie!
Andy - Harpoon 10:38 AM
Suzuki would be 1st round pick in a beard draft

Andy - Harpoon 10:39 AM

Evan - Underground 10:39 AM
First reliever off the board is always a stud
Andy - Harpoon 10:39 AM
now to sleep till 3rd round
Mike - Borealis 10:40 AM
He was my #1… a little winter ball and he’s a quality starter…
Yuma 10:40 AM
The second third and fourth relievers ain’t too shabby neither.
Evan - Underground 10:40 AM
For sure..
Ken - Farstriders 10:40 AM
even fifth!
Andy - Harpoon 10:40 AM
winter ball is my line of thought exactly (edited)
Evan - Underground 10:40 AM
My scouts absolute pure favorite of the draft is still out there, even if he isn't my absolute pure favorite
Mike - Borealis 10:40 AM
@Mike - Coqui on deck… CST and @Cristian - Dinosaurs to follow…
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:41 AM
My #3 is still out there. And WV will 100% pick him
Andy - Harpoon 10:41 AM
I don't know which supplementary pick of WV is from me, but I am interested in who is picked there.
Mike - Borealis 10:41 AM
I knew Berridge was never getting past the Win-D’s…
Yuma 10:41 AM
Not if you tell me who he is and I pick him BEFORE Greg! @Dylan - Wind Dancers
Andy - Harpoon 10:41 AM
darn WV has so many supp. 1st and 2nd
Yuma 10:42 AM
He bought them.
Greg - Alleghenies 10:42 AM
I tried to trade them

Andy - Harpoon 10:43 AM
I feel like my scout is biased toward 18 yo
10:43
never rate them high
Yuma 10:43 AM
That’s an awfully big hole with the Dinosaurs in it.

Greg - Alleghenies 10:43 AM
I like Knox
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:43 AM
Thank you, I made it for him
:rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Dan - Ghosts 10:43 AM
He might be an "ability" guy, Andy
Evan - Underground 10:43 AM
Well they fit pretty neatly since they're all bones
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:44 AM
Did SJ Mike say something about not being around?
Evan - Underground 10:44 AM
I don't recall him saying anything today, which is sort of the same thing
Dan - Ghosts 10:45 AM
He said he'd miss today
Andy - Harpoon 10:45 AM
I get that Dan but my scout just doesn't grade 18 yo too well in the past either lol, but I guess for 18 yo it's a gamble and accuracy be darned
Dan - Ghosts 10:45 AM

Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:45 AM

Evan - Underground 10:45 AM
18 year olds are a gamble both in development and, my least favorite game; "will they even sign?"

true on that
StatsLabAPP 10:46 AM
PEBA Draft Pick 1.17: The Charleston Statesmen select SS Jose Ordonez
Andy - Harpoon 10:46 AM
knox is extremely hard for me
Evan - Underground 10:46 AM
Signability is one of my draft list categories for that reason haha
Ken - Farstriders 10:46 AM
barry is good there. another WB guy
1
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:46 AM
I'm glad they got rid of impossible though
Dan - Ghosts 10:46 AM
Knox would sign with us, so the game says.
Andy - Harpoon 10:46 AM
Ordonez is nice.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:46 AM
Anyone can technically sign
Andy - Harpoon 10:46 AM
future golden glove
Greg - Alleghenies 10:46 AM
He will sign just a lot of money
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:46 AM
If you pay enough
Mike - Borealis 10:47 AM
@Cristian - Dinosaurs up and London on deck… Yuma in the hole…

PEBA Draft Pick 1.18: The Fargo Dinosaurs select LF Jordan MacNeil
Yuma 10:47 AM
Not always. I offered 2 18 year olds DOUBLE what they were asking last year and both said no.
Andy - Harpoon 10:47 AM
double ain't enough
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:47 AM
DAMMIT
1
Dan - Ghosts 10:47 AM
Maybe they needed some water, Bob.

Yuma 10:47 AM
Damn! I needed MacNeil.

Yeah I don't have the money to pay those foolish kids
Andy - Harpoon 10:48 AM

Alright well my second choice at 11 is still here so this is easy enough
Ken - Farstriders 10:48 AM
surprised macneil made it that long
Andy - Harpoon 10:48 AM
super well-rounded
Greg - Alleghenies 10:48 AM
So close
Cristian - Dinosaurs 10:48 AM
Is it me or are all the higher ranked OF's in this class all poor fielders.... MacNiel won me over because of his bat and my scout thinks he can jump right to A ball....but not loving the defensive range....
Justin - Bureaucrats 10:48 AM
surpirsed MacNeil lasted this long
Ken - Farstriders 10:49 AM
you're right cristian... its an oddity for sure
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:49 AM
McNiel is an easy WB candidate and he'll be a good fielder
Andy - Harpoon 10:49 AM
yeah the high ranked OFs are alll batting-first it seems
Mike - Borealis 10:49 AM
I had McNeil at 8…
10:49

He’s gonna need it in Yuma’s outfield.
Patrick - Havana 10:52 AM
Bummed about Mike Roberts being off the list. Was hoping to get him. When I was a kid, had a buddy Mike Roberts whom we nicknamed 'Boo' Wanted to draft Roberts just to pin his proper nickname to him. "Boo' Roberts was a great guy.
Yuma 10:52 AM
I would draft Boo Radley, if he’d ever get off his porch,.

Greg - Alleghenies 10:52 AM
Sorry guys pick coming up.
Brian - Tempe 10:52 AM
Evan the dream crusher
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:53 AM
Patrick maybe you can bribe London to give him the appropriate nickname
Patrick - Havana 10:53 AM
LOL I thought about it...
Evan - Underground 10:53 AM
Now that is an excellent idea Denny
Andy - Harpoon 10:53 AM
just trade for him down the line
Evan - Underground 10:53 AM
$500,000 for nicknaming rights
10:54
Or better yet, Bob Gorman vs Nickname rights for Mike Roberts. I can put it on the forum right now (edited)

I like the versatility
Andy - Harpoon 11:10 AM
yup, really like Yamada's toolset
Cristian - Dinosaurs 11:11 AM
Yeah it's going to be a question if Yamada can hit well enough, but my scout see's him playable in both CF and SS, so safe floor as a bench bat at least.

@Ken - Farstriders Thank you!
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 11:29 AM
I think this guy might have a better name than your previous pick Bob
Yuma 11:30 AM
Impossible!
Andy - Harpoon 11:30 AM
Interceptor what a fitting nickname for a 2B
Dylan - Wind Dancers 11:30 AM
Mendel de Kok sounds like a dick joke made in a high school baseball locker room
Ken - Farstriders 11:30 AM
obviously he's dutch... so he's going to be an all-star
Yuma 11:31 AM
That’s what we’re counting on.

PEBA Draft Pick 2.9: The Palm Springs Codgers select P Lyndon Hoath

I was targeting him so de Kok could play with de Kook...

Yuma 11:31 AM
Boring name, Denny.
11:31
Good pitcher, though,.
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 11:31 AM
Well they can’t all be winners
Andy - Harpoon 11:32 AM
not if they go to WV
Dylan - Wind Dancers 11:32 AM
Hoath is 21 with the 5-o-clock shadow of a 45 year old

What is a peba draft without bowling balls
Yuma 9:26 AM
Such anger!
9:26
How do I make that clip disappear? It’s very disturbing.
Scott-Duluth 9:27 AM
I will admit to watching both bowling and midget wrestling as a youngster
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:27 AM
you had me at midget wrestling
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 9:29 AM
The irony is that bowling balls began to be brandished at the draft only AFTER Reno was no longer the Tenpinners! :man-shrugging:

Started my day with Woodford Reserve in my coffee while I watch it rain out all the games in the area today.
Nap coming on. Smokey is on alert to handle everything between overall picks 6 through 100.
Mike - Borealis 9:35 AM
How bad is the draft class? Only 22 hitters with a contact of 5 or better… OSA says there is 34…
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:36 AM
yikes....
9:36
slim pickings to be sure. Let us hope the RNG gods bless our picks with positive development
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:36 AM
It's actually fairly realistic to real drafts. Outside of the top guys, the rest are project players you hope can develop
Evan - Underground 9:37 AM
I don't have the budget to earn the favor of the RNG gods of development lol
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:37 AM
yes @Dylan - Wind Dancers but OOTP late picks rarely develop, unless "nudged"
Scott - Zephyrs 9:38 AM
Building through the draft is quite difficult

looking forward to seeing how the Farstriders' R&D department did with their prospect sorting algorithm...
Yuma 9:38 AM
Realistic, Dylan? In comparison to what? The defunct MLB ? We need to be better. We need a super draft! We need to be UNrealistic!
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:38 AM
It's not like players regularly develop from late rounds IRL.
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:39 AM
true, but look at Zach McKinstry on the Dodgers. I believe he was picked like in the 33rd round, and he made his debut last year and was tearing through the league before his injury
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:40 AM
"tearing through the league" with 7 PA's?
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:40 AM
he had more this season
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:41 AM
58 PA's is no where near enough of a test size
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:41 AM
54 AB's, .296/.328/.556/.883. That's where the injury comes into play (edited)
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:42 AM
And that sample size is no where near enough to consider him a success
Mike - Borealis 9:42 AM
Still… 54 ABs is not an adequate sample size…
9:42
Give me 540 and we can talk…
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:43 AM
he was successful, then he strained his oblique
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:43 AM
54 AB's is not success in the majors
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:43 AM
it was certainly a start
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:43 AM
Ohtani hit .190 in 175 last year
9:43
Not enough of a sample size
9:44
clearly
Evan - Underground 9:44 AM
Ohtani
Yuma 9:44 AM
He’s a pleasure to watch.
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:44 AM
Crushing it this year
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:44 AM
And regardless, a few players make sense, not regularly.
Marco.C - Calzoneros 9:45 AM
Ready and waiting #draftday
Yuma 9:45 AM
I still haven’t seen him pitch in person, but his hitting has been impressive.
9:45
Ohtani, that is.
Andy - Harpoon 9:45 AM
we do have a potential Ohtani this draft here
2
Yuma 9:45 AM
Shhh!
Scott-Duluth 9:45 AM
It used to be second time through the league was the test. Can the youngster adjust to the adjustments.
Justin - Bureaucrats 9:45 AM
I saw Bryce Harper for the first time in person a few weeks ago. Didn't perform very well, but it was great to see. I'll get a chance to see Fernando Tatis Jr. on Wednesday
Andy - Harpoon 9:46 AM
but knowing OOTP he wouldn't "survive" the development
Yuma 9:46 AM
Ah, Tatis is dynamite, even when he’s making errors!
9:46
San Diego is transformed because of him. And I don’t just mean the Padres.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:48 AM
People constantly praise Ohtani's pitching because he racks up K's and throws hard but ignore that he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if you asked him to
Yuma 9:49 AM
No, Dylan, he nails that barn broadside exactly 50% of the time!
Andy - Harpoon 9:49 AM
50% of the time he hit it the barn 100%.
Scott - Zephyrs 9:49 AM
I have hometown bias but Shane Bieber has been a plaesure to watch in person
Yuma 9:50 AM
What hometown is that, Scott?
Scott - Zephyrs 9:50 AM
I also enjoyed Corey Kluber in his prime
9:50
Cleveland
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:50 AM
The other half of the time he drills the farmer working in the field 3 blocks away
Scott - Zephyrs 9:50 AM
not Reno
Yuma 9:50 AM
Too bad. The Aces are a hot club again this year.
Evan - Underground 9:51 AM
I just enjoy watching a decent MLB pitcher whose also able to regularly launch balls like they are $DOGE -> to the moon!
Yuma 9:51 AM
What does “$DOGE->” mean?
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:51 AM
It means you hit your head too many times and aren't thinking clearly
Andy - Harpoon 9:51 AM
it's a cryptocurrency
9:51
that went up over the moon in value
9:52
recently
Yuma 9:52 AM
Neither of which I understand, he say, pounding the side of his head.
9:52
What makes a currency “crypto”? Does it have cryptonite?'
Ken - Farstriders 9:52 AM
i choose not to think about crypto... whenever i do, i take a tiny pill from the bottle bob gave me and i forget the last five minutes
Andy - Harpoon 9:52 AM
errr, it's like a company stock that somehow went up from say, $0.1 to $1000 per unit.
9:53
and I would take cryptonite currency
Yuma 9:53 AM
I do NOT supply people with bottles of pills! Just soothing, healthy, water!
Ken - Farstriders 9:53 AM
you must have taken one of those pills after you gave me the bottle, bob
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:53 AM
"Somehow" as in it got meme'd into existence and boosted by the whole Gamestop/AMC debacle
Evan - Underground 9:53 AM
It's up 26,000% over the last 6 months
Yuma 9:53 AM
Company stock … that’s like all the books on shelves at Amazon’s warehouse?
Andy - Harpoon 9:53 AM
as good a description as any
Yuma 9:54 AM
You guys talk funny.
Andy - Harpoon 9:54 AM
not sure if the Amazon warehouse still have too many books nowaday though.
Yuma 9:54 AM
The one outside Reno does! More than a million,.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 9:55 AM
Alright, back to the draft which is starting in 5 minutes
Andy - Harpoon 9:55 AM
Kindle's the thing.
Yuma 9:55 AM
Close the window if there’s a draft.
Andy - Harpoon 9:55 AM
but I much prefer physical book.
Yuma 9:55 AM
During the first year of Covid I read 200+ books and only 2 Kindle versions.

Andy - Harpoon 9:55 AM
nothing can replace touching it for real and the smell
Yuma 9:55 AM
Yeah!
Andy - Harpoon 9:56 AM
and darn 200+ books
Scott - Zephyrs 9:56 AM
200 has to impress even the most avid readers
Yuma 9:56 AM
What else is retirement good for? Reading and writing. I also finished a novel and started a play and wrote all those PEBA stories.
9:56
Of course, I didn’t go out to dinner or socialize or go to any plays or attrend any baseball games.

Welcome to the Asheville Hotel in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina for the 27th Annual PEBA Draft!
9:58
Today we welcome the future stars of baseball!!!
9:58
For today’s first day of the draft we will attempt to complete 5 rounds, and GMs will be allotted approximately 5 minutes to make their top two round selections, with further rounds limited to approximately 2 minutes. We strongly encourage you (‘Harry’ looks at his watch, again), in the best interests of the league, to be prepared and make your selections with diligence and speed. Keeping an updated list is StatsLab is always a solid plan – especially if you will be absent or miss a pick.
9:58
Selections are to be made in StatsLab, by selecting the player you want to draft and clicking the draft button. You may very well need to refresh your browser when it’s your turn.

If you anticipate missing a turn – or will be leaving, please inform Dylan so we can be prepared to move forward quickly. I will, for the first time ever, have to bail early today, so please do your part to make things easy for Dylan – he’s the champion behind the scenes!
Yuma 9:59 AM
Go Dylan!
Mike - Borealis 9:59 AM
Slack will announce your pick in this channel, but PLEASE feel free to make that announcement yourself, as you see fit, and please discuss picks freely as I’m sure we ALL have opinions…

Yes us.
Mike - Borealis 10:00 AM
Dylan will be processing the selections behind the scenes, and we will attempt to give teams a heads up when they are ‘on-deck’ and ‘in-the-hole’, so do try to be aware and following things so we can move as quickly as possible – ‘be present’. Be patient with the Win-D’s and Borealis picks, as we try to juggle two jobs here… Always try to have a back-up plan in the event the guy you are ‘locked in on’ is taken…
Lenny- Bears 10:00 AM
Wait…whos us?

My friend is in Colorado for weekend and I told them to bring me a vile of it home, they looked at me like I was from Mars. I guess they just don't know
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 10:26 AM
Only those who know, know
Dan - Ghosts 10:26 AM
Is a vile a unit of measurement of Colorado River Water?
Evan - Underground 10:26 AM
After much consideration during the last few minutes I have decided to follow my scout's lead and select #2 on my draft board. From just up north of Her Majesty's England (though currently pitching for Hosei University)...

Yuma 10:27 AM
No, Vail, Colorado.
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 10:27 AM
Vile?
Yuma 10:27 AM
Vail is vile.
Dan - Ghosts 10:27 AM
Vail is not Vile!
Yuma 10:27 AM
Yes it is!
Ken - Farstriders 10:27 AM
nice pick evan
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:27 AM
I almost took Bevan with my pick
Reg - Trendsetters 10:27 AM

Justin - Bureaucrats 10:27 AM
Vail is expensive

I hear it's pretty overpriced so maybe you're right.

the dutch are clutch, we know that much but if you need a win hire a Finn!

Mike - Borealis 10:40 AM
He was my #1… a little winter ball and he’s a quality starter…
Yuma 10:40 AM
The second third and fourth relievers ain’t too shabby neither.
Evan - Underground 10:40 AM
For sure..
Ken - Farstriders 10:40 AM
even fifth!
Andy - Harpoon 10:40 AM
winter ball is my line of thought exactly (edited)

My scouts absolute pure favorite of the draft is still out there, even if he isn't my absolute pure favorite
Mike - Borealis 10:40 AM

My #3 is still out there. And WV will 100% pick him

I knew Berridge was never getting past the Win-D’s…

Not if you tell me who he is and I pick him BEFORE Greg! @Dylan - Wind Dancers
Andy - Harpoon 10:41 AM

Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:44 AM
Did SJ Mike say something about not being around?
Evan - Underground 10:44 AM
I don't recall him saying anything today, which is sort of the same thing
Dan - Ghosts 10:45 AM
He said he'd miss today
Andy - Harpoon 10:45 AM
I get that Dan but my scout just doesn't grade 18 yo too well in the past either lol, but I guess for 18 yo it's a gamble and accuracy be darned

I'm glad they got rid of impossible though
Dan - Ghosts 10:46 AM
Knox would sign with us, so the game says.
Andy - Harpoon 10:46 AM
Ordonez is nice.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:46 AM
Anyone can technically sign
Andy - Harpoon 10:46 AM

Cristian - Dinosaurs 10:48 AM
Is it me or are all the higher ranked OF's in this class all poor fielders.... MacNiel won me over because of his bat and my scout thinks he can jump right to A ball....but not loving the defensive range....
Justin - Bureaucrats 10:48 AM
surpirsed MacNeil lasted this long
Ken - Farstriders 10:49 AM
you're right cristian... its an oddity for sure
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:49 AM
McNiel is an easy WB candidate and he'll be a good fielder
Andy - Harpoon 10:49 AM
yeah the high ranked OFs are alll batting-first it seems

Bummed about Mike Roberts being off the list. Was hoping to get him. When I was a kid, had a buddy Mike Roberts whom we nicknamed 'Boo' Wanted to draft Roberts just to pin his proper nickname to him. "Boo' Roberts was a great guy.

Cristian - Dinosaurs 11:11 AM
Yeah it's going to be a question if Yamada can hit well enough, but my scout see's him playable in both CF and SS, so safe floor as a bench bat at least.
