not even a single 6th round pick made it. it IS a complete crapshoot once you get out of the first two or three rounds. none of those picks are expected to make it to the majors, and 1 star is a fair rating for a player not expected to make the majors. |
My point is that scouting departments do have opinions throughout the draft, they do make recommendations based on their evaluations of the players available. Whether that process adds significant value is something that can be debated, but its existence is obvious. I believe the OOTP draft process should replicate that real-life process.
