1968 & 1983 Stealing MLB Draft : CHAT

[broncosmitty]

I'm already having second thoughts about this draft. Not that it's his fault but UK gets the first pick in the draft AND first chance to steal a player. It's a pretty big advantage to draft early in this draft. One way to sort of correct this issue is to say we can't steal a player until the 6th round.

I'm really not liking this steal a player idea...

UK doesnt have first crack at a steal.

You can't steal a first or second rounder. So his first pick of the third has to be a pick. First chance to steal is Shane with Pick 2, Round 3.

left my cell phone in my car... to lazy to get it back... now i have to tell WLK i want his pick...

And give you the first chance to steal instead....

So you are saying the guy with the first pick in the draft should also get the first chance to steal a player?

True but giving 3 & 4 to move up one spot and get 3 & 24 is unlikely to happen. I honestly didn't figure there would be stealing until round 5.

Ok so UK doesn't get first chance but Shane getting first chance again isn't fair but oh well I guess we ride it out...

I've always thought the 3 best draft positions were, 1st, 2nd, last and next to last, and all four of those are virtually the same. I've won a lot picking last

So have I but we never had stealing during the draft before. But again we will live and learn with this draft...

The best value is Nos' pick. He can steal UK's pick in the 3rd round with his last pick in the 5th round. Instead of picking a scrub he can get a top player

Im not sure if I would've went with tMick or not. But I don't know who else I would've taken.

I like being the first pick. But its rough watching so many players go that you hope will
Drop. Same goes with last. I like it but it's painful sometimes. You can put together a team easier with those back to back picks imo. Longer waits though. Can't make two lousy picks, harder to get away with at either end of the draft.

Looking forward to the middle in this one though. Same distance between picks, until steals happen. Then things could get s little wild. I see a few runs on stealing happening.

I would kick my own ass if I traded my next two picks to get a guy one spot ahead of my pick

I hate stealing during the draft. Stealing from the QF of the playoffs on is the only way the competitive balance stays in tact

True, but he waits till the 8th round to pick again if he does.

I'm anxious to see who steals first.

You should trade your 3rd, 4th and 5th for UKs 3rd and 24th.

 

[broncosmitty]

I couldn't pas on the stealing option.

Like gut punchs all over hell.

I hate it lol

Pretty sure it would only be my 3rd and 4th but no thanks lol

Nonsense, trading 5 & 6 for 3 & 24 is that a trade you'd make right now? If so I accept...

Idk man.

I think I can talk him into it. Lol

Every trade with be off balanced lol...that's the point. The later rounds wont be as bad

I think your third is his third. The steal is your pick. Then you lose your next two picks. And get his last pick.

Or is the steal a trade? That pick
For the guy your stealing? And the victim team gets that pick??

Be careful there might be a hole behind you...
