Federal Baseball Commonwealth
January 2nd, 1947
Inaugural Draft

Round 7 highlights

Marios pick 3B Mike Banks 28yo, Power and good eye, +1, Total +1
Railroaders pick LF Nick Taylor 25yo, Contact and power, +1, Total +5
FYI: The Moors pick was SP Rory Martin 23yo, looks to be an average pitcher but has a wicked slider. Rumors have it the Moors scout made this pick.

Round 8 highlights

Moors pick C Michael Saul 35yo, Superstar, +1, Total +7
Railroaders pick 1B Ismael Garcia 35yo, Allstar, +1, Total +6
Cardinals pick C Jeff Burnett 23yo, solid and young, +1, Total +1

Round 9 highlights

Railroaders pick 3B Jason Campbell 30yo, has everything but power, +1, Total +7
Bulldogs pick CF Lonnie Roper 28yo, above average player with a great eye, +1, Total -2
Moors pick Closer Bill Moser 31yo, excellent movement, good stuff, +1, Total +8
Wildcats pick SS Greg Gill 31yo, high average, good defense, +1, Total +5

Round 10 highlights

Wildcats pick C Bill Ross 24yo, Gap abilities and good eye, +1, Total +6
Moors pick MR Angel Ramos 27yo, top rated movement and control, +1, Total +9
Bulldogs pick LF Manuel Romero 26yo, well rounded above average talents, +1, Total -1

After 10 rounds, Here's my draft ratings...

1. Moors +9 : 9 out ot a possible 10 is almost insane, yet only one pick looks like anything but a total star.
2. Railroaders +7 : Looks like Collier Grant has a true baseball heart for talent.
3. Wildcats +6 : Can't be excluded from this club of leaders.
4. Marios +1
5. Cardinals +1
6. Bulldogs -1
7. Falcons -1
8. Vikings -1

Since I'm now only awarding those teams with highlight picks, the lower teams can only move up if they make a number of them - mimicking the value decrease of the later rounds. It will be interesting to see if BBN sees the final draft results the same way I do.

------

The Wildcat staff was sitting around in a good mood. This group of relatively inexperienced staffers (combined 22 years experience among 6 individuals) had done well for themselves. No General manager to-date, yet they were being seen as 3rd best drafters through the first 10 rounds.

"Think we can keep it up?", asked scouting director Miguel Perez.

"Why not?", responded manager Cisco Martinez. "We have a chance to make a name for ourselves here, and put ourselves in command of the situation before the Bradford Boys hire a GM."

The "Bradford Boys" were Mike and Jerrod Bradford, brothers. They had pooled their small fortunes and threw everything they had into forming the Wildcats. The reason they didn't have a GM yet was because they didn't have enough money to hire one. When they hired the current staff of relative rookies, the dropped the responsibility of the draft on 43 year old manager Martinez who owned 11 of that combined 22 years expereince.

The youngest member of the staff, team trainer Kieran Stafford, jumped from his seat.

"Hey guys. That pitcher we were going to grab next round? Take a look at this article about an injury last year."

The rookie staff gathered around their young trainer to see what he had found.
