I'll assume that's what you meant. Moving on.

Yeah, Castro is fine. It's not like I got the worst player in the draft. He might turn out okay. Not sure how it happened though. Made a long list before I left for work and made sure it wouldn't auto, but nbd. I'll either sign him or I wont.

Alright, done. Didn't have a chance to look as thoroughly as I would have liked, but hopefully I got a decent player.

If it makes you feel any better, he was atop my list as well.

It does make me feel better. I was between him and a couple other SP's. Seems to be a lot of similar guys still available. I have no idea if this is considering a deep draft or not for this league, but compared to other leagues/OOTP games I've played, I'm surprised with the quality of players still available in a third round. Not used to seeing guys with all "green" potentials this late into a draft.

Ah, I see how it happened now. I basically casted StatsLab aside once the draft was moved. Didn't know we still were using those lists. Whatever its neither here nor there, just beating a dead horse thoroughly.

It's a combination of a very deep draft, and also the way OOTP15 rates potentials more heavily.

gotta say I'm pretty happy with how my draft is turning out (although I suppose everyone else is too!)

Got a reacher in the first rd, this guy; and my next three picks 1, 2, and 3 can all step into the bigs tomorrow;

I just posted in the "Ping" thread as well, but please give me Jose Lucero instead of whoever the catcher I just drafted is. I clicked on the button to draft Lucero and somehow ended up w/ the wrong guy.

I was keeping my eye on Pie but went with a different 3B just before him.

Hanging on Baltimore's pick. I'm still going to get a pretty nice infielder in Round 4. Love this draft.

Yeah pretty happy with Franco in round 4. Terrible defense, but he could be a good DH.

Crap sorry, I had put a list together and selected draft from list if time runs out, I guess I should have just selected autodraft from list. I'll know for next time.

Do we go through all 20 rounds this way? Or is it automatically simmed at any point?

This is a crazy good draft.

It doesn't get automatically simmed at any point. You can keep drafting until Round 20 if you want. Practicality usually dictates that one quits at one point, but in this draft it might be pretty darn late.
