Amateur Draft
Would like to hear some strategies from everyone. Mine is pretty simple, but I almost always maintain a top 5 minor league system. Please mention if you use scouts or not.
I use scouts and allocate as much money as possible towards scouting (almost always 12.5 M) with 40% contributed towards amateur scouting. I do no preparation in the month prior to the draft. Rarely if I was able to score a top 5 pick through previous season trade, I may take a quick glance at potential #1 picks. I prefer players under 21. My first 5 picks are drafted based on overall potential, unless there is a decent starter or switch hitting bat. I refuse to draft kids with poor work ethic and do not like dummies either. As the top players start to disappear, i will generally draft based on a combination of speed, defense, and work ethic (not worrying about their current hitting ability in hopes they will develop). For pitchers, i focus on velocity and work ethic. Would be curious to hear some other strategies. Thanks |
