NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed
Monday, September 12th, 1921
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. Bob Fothergill, 24 year-old left fielder out of college.
2. Sparky Adams, 27 year-old shortstop out of college.
3. Butch Henline, 26 year-old catcher out of college.
4. George Grantham, 21 year-old second baseman out of college.
5. Joe Hauser, 22 year-old first baseman out of college.
6. Travis Jackson, 17 year-old shortstop out of high-school.
7. Ray Blades, 25 year-old left fielder out of college.
8.
Jim Bottomley, 21 year-old first baseman out of college.
9.
Ted Blankenship, 20 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
10. Topper Rigney, 24 year-old shortstop out of college.
