The Draft is Upon Us. What will the new GM do with the #10 Overall Pick?
Tomorrow starts the annual selection process of high school and college baseball players for FABL teams. The Brooklyn Kings had less than stellar luck in the draft lottery process this year. The #1 overall pick went to the new Kings GM former team the Detroit Dynamo's (ouch). The Kings landed at #10 in the first round and #12 in the second round despite only winning 61 games last season. Some say the new process to determining the draft order in the first 2 rounds is good, to avoid teams from "tanking". Others say it penalizes teams like Brooklyn who had a terrible season and don't get a shot at the "top" talent in the draft. So what will the Kings do with the 10th overall Pick?
Stay tuned as we hear the King's are in a number of trade conversations regarding that pick and potentially others. Going into the draft the King's have outlined positions of need being at catcher, 3rd base, 2nd base and of course who couldn't use another useful pitcher.
