[StLee]

StLee here. I had to edit the draft order, but OOTP allowed it, so I am OK. I don't understand the logic of the order that was there when I set it for teams to be in order of their records. Anyway, I changed the order to the proper order with coin flips when necessary for the same records. All four 6th place teams picked in the first four picks, followed by all four 5th place teams, and so on.

Also, I also edited out the names of players' high schools since I do no have high schools in my dynasty. That is time-consuming, but would take me out of the world created here. Perhaps I should add feeder leagues once I upgrade my computer. There are backstories, which I may touch upon during the offseason or future seasons, but the feeder league may be necessary for immersion purposes.

Here are some featured players, including the draft picks of the teams readers of this dynasty are actively following: NB and Atom.

The Top 5

1-1 Shaw HS - SP Beachboy Nut

Skills: Has a three-pitch approach but willing to work on a fourth pitch. Has good stuff but needs to work on command and cut down on walks. Expected to be a future ace.

Personality: High adaptability and work ethic. May seek the caps. A sparkplug.

1-2 Jamaica Plain - RF Goody Cloyse

Skills: Power hitter with a good eye. He will hit a lot deep but does not tend to swing at bad pitches. Speedier than the average right fielder, which gives him good range.

Personality: Likes to win, but won’t let a loss get him down. Won’t let a win get him up, either. Should not be a problem in the locker room or out of it.

1-3 Fort Hagen - CF Ben Pawlak

Skills: Could be a power-hitting centerfielder, longball or out. Has a good eye but can occasionally be impatient with off-speed pitches. Waits for the right pitch, probably looking fastball. Defense could win him future defensive awards. Day 1 starter in center field, even if bat is not yet ready.

Personality: High work ethic. Will do what it takes to be the best. Does not seem concerned about caps; just wants to play.

1-4 County Crossing – C Biter Trout

Skills: Will hit for average and could develop a middle of the lineup bat. Needs to work on defense but could be a good defensive catcher.

Personality: High work ethic and intelligence. Should develop into a team leader, though he is used to a singular style and may not adapt well to different coaching and management styles. Not motivated by caps.

1-5 Concord – 3B Lucky Oldsun

Skills: Does not have any one area where the thrives but does a lot of things well. Expected to be a high average guy in time but may never develop as a power hitter. Will be decent as defensive third baseman.

Personality: Highly intelligent. A cerebral player. Will need to keep composure when team is losing games.

Nordhagen Beach Party Boys

1-6 CF Pop Murphy

Skills: Speedster. Will steal bases and take extra bases on singles and doubles. Can cover a lot of ground in center field. Bat needs work. May not hit well until he gets a lot of coaching. Will need to rely on being patient and working walks.

Personality: Lots of good qualities – smart, hard worker, loyal, understanding. Tends to follow rather than lead. Needs hands-on coaching.

2-6 CF Maxx Murtagh

Skills: Decent speed can help him in his range but nowhere near Murphy’s speed. Probably projects as a left fielder in the Nordhagen Beach franchise. Tends to foul off a lot of pitches. Sometimes that works in his favor and he gets walked but also will strikeout on deep counts. Bat relies on timing.

3-6 SP Cush Baker

Skills: Two good pitches but is adding a changeup to his repertoire. Fastball has lots of movement. Cerebral pitcher which will lead to a future coaching career for him if he wants it but tools may not be enough to produce what he understands. Good control of his pitches, which will help in avoiding walks. However, may give up lots of hits. Probably will need to move to bullpen to be successful.

4-6 SP Eddie Okay

Skills: Comes from a long lines of Okays who are all average at best in whatever they do. Good fastball offset by poor changeup. Curveball is OK. Does not have good stuff or pitch for power so his control must be on or he will be shellacked. Needs a lot of work to be anything more than a minor league bullpen pitcher.

5-6 SP Andy Watsname

Skills: Will need to perform well to be accepted with his overbearing personality. Has four pitches already that will be good if he continues working on all of them. Needs to practice placement more, tending to put too many right down the middle. Does not work the corners. Could have potential as a starter in the CBO but it may take some time and acceptance of coaching.

Atom Cats

1-17 SS Steve Mech

Skills: Needs to bulk up more but could have the frame to hit in the middle of the lineup. May not hit for a high average. Looks to be a Day 1 starter at shortstop based on good skills. Will not be error-prone and will make all the routine plays. Good speed will help him on the bases.

Personality: Smart and works hard. Deals well with failures, so he can bounce back after losses and poor personal performances.

2-17 CF Nar Salem

Skills: Other than the ability to hit the ball deep, flies out and strikes out too much. May be looking at batting 7th or 8th in the lineup at best. Probably a pinch hitter and defensive substitute at best. Ceiling does not look high for him. Can be a decent centerfielder when forced to start. Good range to get to balls. Probably not as talented as where he was drafted.

3-17 C Joshiel Hawthorne

Skills: Outspoken personality makes him confident behind the plate. Needs to work on arm power for throwing out runners, but he can be a Day 1 starter or viable backup at catcher defensively. Good power and eye at the plate but depends too much on power hits to be a true middle-of-the-lineup hitter.

4-17 SP Will Wylde

Skills: Good movement on all pitches, including his two-seamer and curveball. Loses control a lot, including leaving too many over the plate. That leads to giving up more home runs than a good pitcher should. Needs to work on that control before he is CBO ready.

5-17 C Phil Presidentson

Skills: Surprising pick after Hawthorne was picked in the 3rd round. Similar defensive catcher who likes the roles as the pitch caller. Needs to work more on his arm strength and handling the ball after the pitch. Can develop a good bat that could see him batting up to 6th in the lineup. May not have a lot of power or speed but can move station to station. Works the strike zone well, so he can draw walks.
