Draft Help

[Sabo17]

Going to back to the well here with you vets.

From the general look of things, if two players were comparable in the draft, I would be better off selecting a HS player over a college player, correct?

Because if the are both 1/5 currently and have similar numbers overall, I should go with the younger guy since he will have more time to develop?

My baseball sense says to draft the college guy, but I don't want to messing this up.

do they have the same levels in personality traits? (work ethic, intelligence, etc)


all other things equal, I typically go for the players with the higher work ethic.

You have to look at their personality ratings. A HS player might have more time to develop, but that assumes he'll continuously, positively develop. He might not. He may flame out too soon.

Likewise, a college player being very smart, might be too hard to sign after the draft, temporarily wasting the draft pick.

For the most part, I look at intelligence, work ethic, and leadership as my primary personality ratings, and when finding a player in the pool that best exemplifies those ratings, I check his signability, to see if I should even bother. If I see Impossible or Very hard, I look elsewhere.

I really didn't know their personalities mattered that much.

So would you rather take a stud with very low work ethic or a middle of the road guy a high work ethic?

The latter.

But remember: you can turn personalities off if you choose to. The game still plays just fine.
