PL News: Draft Pool Revealed
Tuesday, December 27th, 2022
With the rookie draft only weeks away, clubs are huddled in their conference rooms, mapping out scouting strategies with their eye toward the future. These sabermetrical speculators will be traipsing across the fruited plain, hunting for the ideal find, trying to decipher the will, drive and pure passion on the unknown youthful faces before them. Some will rely on tried-and-true baseball knowledge, others psychology. And others will live by luck alone. Though their final assessments will be made and hashed over many times before draft day, the repercussions of draft day, good or bad, will endure long after the dust has settled.
At any rate, teams now have thirty days to scout the draft pool prior to the draft. The Transactions page also gets a new section dedicated to the pool.
The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be:
1. Danny Miller, 20 year-old C out of college.
2. Michael Thomas, 19 year-old RHP out of high-school.
3. Sergio Dávila, 21 year-old RF out of college.
4. Ryan Green, 19 year-old RHP out of high-school.
5. Kevin Williams, 23 year-old SS out of college.
6. Joe Rogers, 21 year-old C out of college.
7. Kent Murray, 19 year-old RHP out of high-school.
8. George Simon, 22 year-old RHP out of college.
9. Ben Hopley, 18 year-old RHP out of high-school.
10. Santiago Maes, 19 year-old RHP out of high-school.
You can find the draft pool in the league transactions screen (league menu).
