Chris said he tweaked the very top. Still doesn't excuse the piss poor pitching, which is my biggest gripe. Not a single guy here is gonna crack the top 100 on atpitching. Every draft should introduce at least a COUPLE on both sides. Hi break. Can you check the Top 100 Prospect link? I see 5 ........ |

lol 3/5 are super low and one is 51 and one is 41 that's still an awful draft. With respect to the other drafts, I agree...seems to line up with reality. 1967 was an awful draft year in real life too. Only a handful of players had meaningful careers. I should note that 5 of the top 45 are already in the Majors. Musgraves, Jaster, Newman, Blanco are 4 more, all pitchers with 7 AR or better, who will probably be called up; there's a BUNCH more at 6 AR. At Opening Day, if you ignore them, that means Vida is #31 and several more slide up. At the end of the season, there will be probably 7-10 pitchers from this draft in the top 100. Given that the age range for prospects is 18-25, that means there should be at least 12-15 players each season that appear in the top 100 to replace those who lost their blue stars. If you add in a couple batters with the 7-10 pitchers, I can argue this was probably an "average" draft. But rightfully so, I would further argue, none of them are top of the line. Again, this was not a great year in real life. |

The purpose of the quoted text and my response was to show you were factually wrong, not even close --- you wished there would be a "COUPLE" and I showed you 5 and we're not even out of the first round (though I doubt any more will come, but I digress). You are using your internet rage to cloud your judgment and thinking it is factual and thinking everything is wrong wrong wrong. I'm not trying to pick on you. I'm just saying, relax, I know what I am doing.
If there is anything of concern, it's that there are probably too many brilliant ratings out there in pitchers, but I cannot control luck, and this is one of the downfalls of a very friendly PD reversal system. Fortunately, though, pitchers like Drysdale, Koufax and Gibson are AWESOME pitchers, as they should be, despite being draft picks and not a holdover from the 1953 Opening Day roster set.

Ultimately, I do appreciate your opinion. I would be curious what Matt thinks of the 1968 draft. Any good?

I will say that the 1968 draft might be even worse. In LBB, George Foster was the #1 pick. Enough said lol

1970 and 1971 are the next legit drafts from my experience with LBB

The problem isn't the reversal system. It's that when you rate guys like all Good, the guys who PD are random and thus luck becomes the greatest factor. Some of these guys will PD up and one or two of them will even B/B/B/B/B but that's not based on drafting them it's based on luck. |

Are you saying there should be more B/B/B/B/B guys out there? Only Hank Aaron has that with Drysdale, Koufax and Gibson only being one rating off. Luck has always been in play here, it's the nature of the OOTP5 engine. |

No I'm saying when guys all over the place are G/G/G types, it opens up luck to which guys get brilliant PDs instead of smart drafting

Catchers Thurmon Munson and Joe Ferguson both will be starters, you have some high average, doubles hitting first basemen in Buckner, Garvey, Cecil Cooper, who will all have average power, great top of the order, high on base, plus plus speed 2B in Lopes, great glove average bat 2B in Trillo, big power/high strikeout 3B in Ron Cey, Eric Soderholm should also be a pretty good 3B, some good OF's, Al Bumbry, George Hendrick, Greg Luzinski, Garry Maddox, Oscar Gamble, Cesar Cedeno, George Foster. This was the class that really built the foundation of the great late 70's Dodgers and Phillies teams. Looks like terrible pitching class again though, Bob and Ken Forsch, Paul Splittorf look to be the best. I would say no real superstars in this class, but pretty deep with above average bats.

UGH. Wish I would have caught this before...........John Wockenfuss should be a catcher in this class. He did play some OF but he mostly caught and played 1B. That would totally change how I look at him. Not sure if it's too late to change that, but he's not an OF.
