Ok, just an update of the order. Let me know if I missed anyone. I will likely be adding between 5-15 per season depending on how many rookies I need to fill out draft pool. 19421 draft list will be announced in the next day or two. However, be aware some of you may have your careers delayed by military service.

Still room for others who want to get in line for future drafts. If so just post your info below.
Thanks

8 new members for the 1942 draft class: Here are their pre-draft scouting reports.

Douglas Vogt 3B Okauchee, Wisc - Douglas has average tools at best. He wont be a star but should be a consistant 3B

Paul Yuan RF Vancouver BC - a bluechip prospect with a very bright future as a RF

David Gonzalez RHP Freemont Cal - David has all the makings of a solid big league pitcher.

Paul Dale P Kokomo, Ind - If you need a consistant starter go with Paul Dale.

Maxton May P Vancouver BC - not a bluechip prospect but he may surprise a few folks.

Gardis Pitts C Floyd County Kent - not a lot of talent but just enough to warrant a look.

Aaron Nation 3B Papillion Neb - Aaron has some skills but not enough at this point to make him a major leaguer.

Leo Emig Jr. CF Philadelphia Pa - Should be a quality CF but hasnt been able to turn raw talent into polished skills. Great speed and decent defense but lacks power.

Draft results coming up

In reality, Pops was born 2-20-1910, so would be too old for mlb by the 40's (and was already a Navy NCO when WW2 broke out); a blown ligament ended his pitching career shortly after it started, back in some obscure Class D league in Alabama. It would be nice to give him a second chance.

I don't know what position my grandfather would have played (or did play). He was a large, tall man though, so I imagine him as a first baseman.

Here are the OOTP Board member named rookies for 1943.

Leonard Piro P Brooklyn NY Has above average stuff and will do a nice job in a big league rotation
Joe 'Guiseppe' Salvia SP Bensonhurst NY - really a project player and needs more work to make majors
Jukka Juntilla 2B Helsinki Finland - has some skills but not enough to make him into an outstanding 2B
Louis Rebots C Brooklyn NY - one of those sleepers who could eventually work his way into starting lineup
Raymond George Orr 2B Muscatine Iowa has average tools at best, not a star but should be consistant 2B
Eric 'Q' Jaffe 2B Oak Park Illinois should be a consistant 2B...real burner and strong defensively.
Dan "A-Ski" Andrykowski CF Arlington Heighs Illinois quality prospect with some potential

Feel free to contine adding names to the list. 5-10 OOTP board named players will be added every year.

The Melancholic · 07-15-2003, 03:35 AM

I'll put my grandfather's name in, though I have no idea what position he would've played. (don't think he ever played organized ball, kind of a "signed him out of the cornfield" deal I guess.)
