There were two guys on the list, and I got one of them. I went with Chicago kid Mac Watters, a 23-year-old groundballer from the Washington Eagles system. He was their 6th Round pick in 1930, and went 9-13 with a 5.04 ERA (91 ERA+), 1.53 WHIP, 25 walks, and 74 strikeouts in 187.1 innings pitched. The command is what drew me to Watters is that excellent command paired with his ability to keep the ball on the ground. Add in the Chicago connection and the fact he went to Decatur HS, Watters was too enticing to pass up. I think I can keep him on the active roster all season and my scout thinks he could end up as a decent longterm piece.

All my draftees signed except Red Barnett and Bus Harris, neither of which who I would be signing. Entering the top 500 prospect lists include Hal Wood (50th), Chubby Hall (55th), Charlie Wheeler (131st), Jocko Pollard (206th), John Johnson (217th), Bill Seabolt (305th), Billy Jordan Jr (356th), Jimmy Bach (367th), Sherman Ring (395th), Oscar Panduro (414th), and Art Saunders (423rd). We've got 50 prospects in the top 500 now, but we rank second (199th) behind the Cannons (266th) who got to add the #2 prospect in Rufus Barrell II. I really wanted him...
