11th Round, 163rd Overall: RHP Jimmy Maness
School: Bellmore
Commit School: Cleveland
1942: 4-0, 70.2 IP, 1.91 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 25 BB, 89 K
Career: 18-3, 259 IP, 1.70 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 80 BB, 297 K

The first pick of the AI portion, we got stuck with a guy who was impossible to sign. This is who Tom Weinstock thinks was the best player left, so as mentioned before, I'll be sending him a lot of money to sign with us to forego his commitment to Cleveland. A four year starter, the Dominican-American was inconsistent at his time at Bellmore, a pair of sub 1.40 ERA seasons and a pair of ERAs above 1.90, including 2.25 as a sophomore. That was easily his worst season, with his worst BB/9 (3.3) and K/9 (8.4), as well as WAR (1.9) and WHIP (1.17). 18 in about a month, Maness is on the shorter side, just 5'9'' and weighing 140, and he throws just 85-87. Still, Maness does an excellent job keeping the ball on the ground, which helps as he tends to load the bases up with walks. He does have nice stuff, with a viable curve that generates a ton of swings and misses. He doesn't have a great secondary pitch to go with it yet, hopefully that will be a faster fastball or a more polished forkball or changeup. I don't have a ton of faith in Maness yet, but a lot of good players come out of the AI round and I'm hoping he's one of them.

11th Round, 176th Overall: RF Elmer Scott
School: Eastern
1942: .475/.542/.616, 120 PA, 11 2B, HR, 27 RBI, 7 SB
Career: .461/.531/.642, 478 PA, 49 2B, 4 3B, 5 HR, 107 RBI, 21 SB

Our 11th Round Pick got us right fielder Elmer Scott, a towering 6'3'' lefty who turns 18 in August. Most corner bats need power, and with Scott's size you'd expect it, but he hit just one homer this year and none last year. Tom thinks he can be a bench player, liking his plate discipline and bat-to-ball ability which should lead him to produce a high enough average and OBP. He's not going to get much playing time this season, but the more players that get called away, the higher chance he has of earning some playing time.

12th Round, 192nd Overall: CF Billy Ray Williams
School: Shenandoah Valley State
1942: .274/.364/.363, 284 PA, 9 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, 36 RBI, 39 SB
Career: .276/.366/.357, 783 PA, 24 2B, 5 3B, 7 HR, 99 RBI, 111 SB

A three year starter at Shenandoah Valley State, Billy Ray Williams had a decent career, walking (93) more then he struck out (62) while swiping well over 100 bases. I'm hoping that speed means range, but Tom and OSA don't say much about his defense. Like Scott, he has a great eye at the plate, but he takes a lot of bad swings which will keep his average down. Our manager in La Crosse wants him to start in right field, so at least for this first week he'll get some time in the starting lineup. He's likely no more then a bubble player, but he can play all three outfield positions which should make him a functional depth piece.

13th Round, 208th Overall: LF Chet Norton
School: All Hallows
1942: .415/.508/.642, 128 PA, 11 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, 27 RBI, 9 SB
Career: .412/.504/.603, 250 PA, 20 2B, 2 3B, 5 HR, 50 RBI, 20 SB

A two year starter at All Hallows, Norton didn't have a very productive high school career. He hit a few homers, which is good, but he barely hit above .400. He's a corner outfielder only who Tom Weinstock thinks can be a top-tier minor leaguer. I'm not much of a fan, and if it wasn't for the fact he was a 13th Rounder, he'd probably be one of the first cuts. He'll likely survive this season, but I doubt he'll get many at bats.

14th Round, 224th Overall: LHP George Fitzmorris
School: Quincy
Commit School: Richmond State
1942: 8-1, 88.1 IP, 1.94 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 27 BB, 102 K
Career: 15-2, 177.1 IP, 2.13 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 54 BB, 179 K

Our second pitcher taken, unfortunately, just like Maness he's an impossible to sign guy. I'm letting him go to Richmond State, as he's a projected bullpen arm and his high school ERA was north of 2. College should do him well, and hopefully add some speed to his fastball and develop a third pitch. He's likely just future fodder, but a lot of guys like this make great strides in college, and show improvement next time they are eligible to be selected.

15th Round, 240th Overall: CF Tom Mills
School: Chesapeake State
1942: .275/.338/.343, 230 PA, 9 2B, 3B, HR, 33 RBI, 37 SB
Career: .269/.349/.326, 800 PA, 27 2B, 5 3B, HR, 100 RBI, 100 SB

A natural outfielder, we got far too many in the AI portion, so Tom Mills will spend most of his time as a second basemen, and hopefully get some time at third and short. He had experience at second, as well as the other three outfield positions, and this week he'll get a few starts at the keystone. A three year starter at Chesapeake State, he doesn't have very much power, just a single homer as a junior, but he has great speed and a knack for making hard contact. He could be a useful bench role, especially if he can handle short and third, but for now he'll just me an organizational filler.

16th Round, 256th Overall: LHP Mickey Johnson
School: Fox Lake
1942: 8-3, 109.1 IP, 2.22 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 58 BB, 133 K
Career: 32-10, 109.1 IP, 2.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 176 BB, 519 K

The first pitcher of ours to sign, the southpaw from Rockford had a very weird high school career. In his first two seasons, he was very effective, working to a 1.38 ERA and 0.93 WHIP as a freshman before a 1.58 and 1.01 as a sophomore. Everything fell apart as a junior, where Johnson had a 2.93 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 14 starts, worst measures then Donnie Jones' 13 starts in the big leagues (2.32, 1.04). He was a bit better as a senior, but it was quite clear that Johnson would fall to the AI portion as his career statline was not very impressive. Add in the fact that he's a projected reliever, and it's no surprise he lasted until the 16th Round, even with the scarcity of pitchers. That will help him keep a spot in our system for a little, as we need warm arms. He has a nice sinker and keeps the ball on the ground, but that's the extent of his talent.

17th Round, 272nd Overall: CF Phil Davis
School: Lockport
1942: .429/.464/.541, 110 PA, 9 2B, 3B, 21 RBI, 23 SB
Career: .447/.506/.605, 351 PA, 27 2B, 6 3B, 3 HR, 80 RBI, 53 SB

Another outfielder, Davis is really a corner only type, but we won't see him for a few years as he's been drafted to the US Army. A native of Chicago, he really looks like a below average hitter and fielder, and I don't know if he'll ever play a game in our system. I won't cut him while he's in service, but when he comes back, there's no guarantee he'll still have a roster spot.

18th Round, 288th Overall: RHP Thornton Cameron
School: Madill
1942: 8-3, 116.1 IP, 2.79 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 62 BB, 104 K
Career: 34-13, 507.1 IP, 2.59 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 199 BB, 464 K

What's with all these relievers... Another arm that's set for the pen only, Thornton Cameron was a four year starter at Madill, but the starts didn't go all that well. Sure, he surpassed the century mark for innings each year, but his 2.31 ERA as a freshman was his best, same with the 1.22 WHIP. He's a filler piece, and at least at 18 he could grow, but I don't expect him to get many innings.

19th Round, 304th Overall: CF Garland Dunlap
School: Blair
1942: .426/.469/.683, 114 PA, 12 2B, 3B, 4 HR, 28 RBI, 18 SB
Career: .437/.501/.665, 482 PA, 45 2B, 8 3B, 11 HR, 109 RBI, 70 SB

Pretty interesting for a 19th Rounder, Dunlap had a pair of 4 homer seasons and a sophomore and junior year that couldn't be further from each other. He was tremendous as a sophomore, hitting .490/.559/.714 with 4 homers and 32 RBIs. He then plummeted off a cliff, hitting just .395/.452/.570 with 23 RBIs and not a single homer. Which Dunlap is the real one? No clue... But I hope the 17-year-old has some pop and his speed translates to quality outfield range. He's just a bench guy, but a little more exciting then some of these other outfielders we got. He won't start any games, but I do think he'll hold an organizational spot for a bit.

20th Round, 320th Overall: SS Dave Gilbert
School: Texas Panhandle
1942: .245/.314/.281, 223 PA, 7 2B, 26 RBI, 15 SB
Career (HS): .404/.475/.558, 33 2B, 3 3B, 3 HR, 72 RBI, 26 SB
Career (COL): .252/.321/.294, 21 2B, 2 HR, 91 RBI, 43 SB

Hey, an infielder! Oh wait... He's going to the Marines Corps? Yay... You may remember Gilbert, who was a 17th Round selection of ours out of high school in 1939. He dropped three rounds this year, and again, will have to wait three years after being drafted for a chance to play in an FABL organization. He's no longer "Gilbert doesn't have the bat or glove to make it to the majors." but instead "Gilbert grades as a below average hitter and fielder." We won't miss him much, but I did want a few spare infielders, and he could have helped with that.

21st Round, 336th Overall: RHP Speed Smith
School: Marion
1942: 5-1, 57.2 IP, 2.03 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 18 BB, 67 K
Career: 15-5, 244 IP, 2.07 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 72 BB, 252 K

Nicknamed "Phenom," I'm not too sure those who nicknamed him thought very hard. At least he's listed as a future starter, but Speed Smith doesn't look to have much stamina, or much speed. He throws just 85-87 with his fastball and cutter, but his change and forkball aren't too bad. His control deserts him at times, and he may develop homer problems. I did like how his strikeouts went up as a senior, but he had just one season with a sub 2.00 ERA. He'll stick around because he can start, but I don't think he'll develop into a phenom.

22nd Round, 352nd Overall: RHP Ollie Howard
School: Warren Central
1942: 5-4, 90 IP, 3.60 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 55 BB, 86 K
Career: 18-10, 283.1 IP, 2.95 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 117 BB, 239 K

Wow, these are some bad stats... His best season was as a sophomore, where he had a 2.26 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 2.3 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9. He had two seasons with ERAs above 3, including the 3.60 this year. He doesn't look too exciting, but we need some arms to fill the La Crosse pen, and his right arm more or less works.

23rd Round, 368th Overall: CF Andy Dennis
School: Overbrook
Commit School: Eastern State
1942: 421/.456/.674, 103 PA, 11 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, 25 RBI, 20 SB
Career: .466/.520/.685, 431 PA, 42 2B, 9 3B, 7 HR, 102 RBI, 57 SB

A four year starter at Overbrook, Andy Dennis was great his first two year, and then awful the second two. He hit over .500 both of his first seasons, but then topped out at .430 as a junior. Committed to Eastern State, he's not going to sign with us, and I think college may get him back on track. He could develop into a decent 4th outfielder, and he could end up a human round pick.

24th Round, 384th Overall: CF Glenn Graham
School: Stafford
1942: .404/.480/.578, 125 PA, 12 2B, 2 3B, HR, 29 RBI, 11 SB
Career: .406/.490/.580, 344 PA, 30 2B, 3 3B, 5 HR, 77 RBI, 44 SB

Low average outfielder? Sign me up! His teammates like him, but does he have any hitting talents? Not really... He does have a decent enough eye, but that's not enough for him to get starts. He may make it until the offseason, maybe not...

25th Round, 400th Overall: RHP George P. Anderson
School: Vinton
Commit School: Weston
1942: 6-3, 91.2 IP, 3.34 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 41 BB, 44 K
Career: 6-3, 91.2 IP, 3.34 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 41 BB, 44 K

Hello Mr. Irrelevant! He won't sign for us, and as another strictly bullpen arm, it may be for the best. He pitched just one season at Vinton, and he wasn't any good. He is a hard worker, which could help him develop at Weston, but I don't have my hopes up. It will be interesting to see if his college ERA is going to be better then his high school ERA, but I wouldn't bet on Anderson.

Another year, another draft! This is my 18th draft with the Cougars, and it may be one of our weaker ones. There could be a few gems, as with most classes, but this one feels more 1930 then 1932. I think Deveaux will be good, same with Hamilton, and Bill Chapman has the potential to surprise. Others like Babe Stinson, Ducky Cole, Homer Guthrie, Billy Biggar and Harry MacRae are exciting, but I don't think this class will have any Carlos Montes' or Leo Mitchell's.

Still, Maness does an excellent job keeping the ball on the ground, which helps as he tends to load the bases up with walks. He does have nice stuff, with a viable curve that generates a ton of swings and misses.

He had experience at second, as well as the other three outfield positions, and this week he'll get a few starts at the keystone. A three year starter at Chesapeake State, he doesn't have very much power, just a single homer as a junior, but he has great speed and a knack for making hard contact.

He hit over .500 both of his first seasons, but then topped out at .430 as a junior. Committed to Eastern State, he's not going to sign with us, and I think college may get him back on track. He could develop into a decent 4th outfielder, and he could end up a human round pick. 24th Round, 384th Overall: CF Glenn Graham School: Stafford 1942: .404/.480/.578, 125 PA, 12 2B, 2 3B, HR, 29 RBI, 11 SB Career: .406/.490/.580, 344 PA, 30 2B, 3 3B, 5 HR, 77 RBI, 44 SB Low average outfielder? Sign me up! His teammates like him, but does he have any hitting talents? Not really... He does have a decent enough eye, but that's not enough for him to get starts. He may make it until the offseason, maybe not... 25th Round, 400th Overall: RHP George P. Anderson School: Vinton Commit School: Weston 1942: 6-3, 91.2 IP, 3.34 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 41 BB, 44 K Career: 6-3, 91.2 IP, 3.34 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 41 BB, 44 K Hello Mr. Irrelevant! He won't sign for us, and as another strictly bullpen arm, it may be for the best. He pitched just one season at Vinton, and he wasn't any good. He is a hard worker, which could help him develop at Weston, but I don't have my hopes up. It will be interesting to see if his college ERA is going to be better then his high school ERA, but I wouldn't bet on Anderson. Another year, another draft! This is my 18th draft with the Cougars, and it may be one of our weaker ones. There could be a few gems, as with most classes, but this one feels more 1930 then 1932. I think Deveaux will be good, same with Hamilton, and Bill Chapman has the potential to surprise. Others like Babe Stinson, Ducky Cole, Homer Guthrie, Billy Biggar and Harry MacRae are exciting, but I don't think this class will have any Carlos Montes' or Leo Mitchell's.
