On the Lam, 62.4 - Corfield in the Field??

[trmmilwwi]

The San Antonio Outlaws moved up a few draft slots this year and had the number 5 overall pick. It wasn’t a reflection that they had a single horrible year last year, rather it is a consistent and steady losing effort that has seen a steady descent into the upper handful of picks in the annual Marko complaint fest. There were a number of interesting options at the top of the draft board and a list was made to make things as efficient as possible. The player slotted at 5 changed several times over the hours that the team executives labored over the values and shortcomings of each of the players and after many passionate please by first year hitting coach Roman Marte a decision was made.

With the 5th overall selection in the 2062 Amateur Draft the San Antonio Outlaws selected 1B Anthony Corfield.



Corfield is a fairly developed 18 year old prospect that spent one year in the International Finishing Consortium with the Central America Conquistadors. The Conquistadors are the reigning 2 time champions and Corfield lead the team with a .396 average and was third on the team with 14 homers and 42 RBI’s in 39 games. He projects as a power hitting infielder with great contact who won’t strike out a lot. He is above average defensively and can play multiple positions. Sources that are familiar with the organization mentioned that the team will move him to second base and likely have him concentrate on developing his defense there in hopes that he is a replacement option for incumbent second baseman Lou Tinter after the 2063 season.

Overall the Outlaws grabbed a fairly developed prospect that will be easy to sign and provide long term value either at 1st or 2nd depending on his advancement in the field.

Congrats on your success/failure, hope Cornell works out for you at 2b. If not, there's always room at the San Antonio Asylum

Could hit a ton for a 2B.

I like him as a 2B. I think he’s close enough to be able to turn into a solid defender there with time and hopefully some dev lab success.

Looks like he finished with modestly positive numbers at 2nd. Probably needs a AAA check in before going full BBA at the keystone.

Tinter for another year and then he'll be up. Keep the waves of youngters coming.
