1931 Draft: Round 11-15

11th Round, 177th Overall: SP Joe Tillman
Former School: Frankford State Owls
1931 Stats: 5-6, 96 IP, 4.03 ERA (109 ERA+), 1.22 WHIP, 83 K
Career Stats: 12-8, 192 IP, 4.03 ERA (114 ERA+), 1.28 WHIP, 165 K
Summary: Joe Tillman is an interesting sidearm pitcher from Frankford State who's been a pretty average pitcher all three years of his career. He's got good stuff, a mid 90s fastball that leads his four pitch arsenal. He has the tools to start, but he doesn't scream high upside.

12th Round, 193rd Overall: SP Gene Baker
Former School: Central Ohio Aviators
1931 Stats: N/A
Career Stats: 4-1, 66.1 IP, 3.12 ERA (161 ERA+), 1,19 WHIP, 27 K
Summary: For me it's impossible to keep a guy like Baker who didn't play sophomore or junior year. Unfortunately, we only do 10 rounds live so this was my scouts selection. I release guys like this who would never be drafted in real life.

13th Round, 209th Overall: CF Les Powers
Former School: Denver HS Mountaineers
1931 Stats: .214/.305/.390 (106 OPS+), 174 PA, 7 HR, 21 RBI, 2 SB, +0.2 ZR (CF)
Career Stats: .235/.322/.407 (119 OPS+), 429 PA, 16 HR, 43 RBI, 7 SB, +4.6 ZR (CF)
Summary: I actually gave Powers a signing bonus, a nice $1,300 for a high upside player. He's an excellent defender with great range and a sure handed glove. He's got decent power, and could be a nice future player.

14th Round, 193rd Overall: SP Jerry Coates
Former School: Chicago Poly Panthers
1931 Stats:
Career Stats: 5-11, 111.1 IP, 3.88 ERA (130 ERA+), 1.44 WHIP, 62 K
Summary: I usually would release someone like Coates, but he went to school really close to us and I like grabbing Chi-Poly players. He's not a very interesting pitcher, but he's got four pitches and can start. I'll let him get a few innings, but I'm not quite sure he's got much potential.

15th Round, 241st Overall: CF Joe Battin
Former School: Garden State Redbirds
1931 Stats: .180/.313/.281 (60 OPS+), 203 PA, 4 HR, 14 RBI, -3.1 ZR (CF)
Career Stats: .202/.312/.364 (80 OPS+), 349 PA, 11 HR, 37 RBI, -4.8 (CF)
Summary: A champion last season, Joe Battin had a terrible season. He doesn't have much potential and likely wouldn't have been selected, so I'm cutting him. It's unfortunate he couldn't just stay another season.
