NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed
Thursday, September 12th, 1912: The biggest anxiety for 1912 new young players is getting drafted. For the young man with something to prove, simple entrance into the draft does not guarantee a big league contract. Some will suffer the excruciating torment of having to stand by as their competitors get picked before them, hoping that they get a slim chance to prove their skills anywhere. At any rate, teams now have 30 days to scout the draft pool before the draft is held.
The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be:
1. Doc Watson, 26 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
2. Reb Russell, 23 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
3. Wally Schang, 23 year-old catcher out of college.
4. Bob Shawkey, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
5. Bill James, 20 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
6. Johnny Bassler, 17 year-old catcher out of high-school.
7. Chief Johnson, 26 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
8. Nick Cullop, 24 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
9. Dutch Leonard, 20 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
10. Rube Foster, 24 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
