When were you drafted?! - Page 3

Ciperl · 12-20-2003, 03:27 PM

4 Star starting pitcher
Drafted 7th in the 1st round by San Diego
During my first year was called up to AA
Played my entire second year at AA except for the last game where I was called up to AAA
During my third year, a month before the all-star break I was called up to the Majors....Then a month later got a call from the Commish saying that I had won the pitcher of the month. I was 3-0 with an era of 0.34 buy only 19 innings. Right after that award I got shelled for 9 runs.

First time I decided to go pathetic level to get a feel, I went #1 overall to Detroit out of high school, got a $3.1Million signing bonus. Spent the first year in Single-A hitting .350 with 29 Doubles, 10 Triples and 4 HRs, 36:61 BB:K, 72 Steals (7 CS). Then was moved up to Double-A to start the second year where I got my first cup of coffee (up for 5 days in July, PR three times never got an AB), but overall in Double-A hit .326 with 16 Doubles, 9 Triples, and 7 HR, 39:73 K:BB 55 Steals (7 CS), and I was moved up to Triple-A for the final game where I went 1-3 with a grand slam. I was up in the majors for September (since my contract had been purchased earlier in the year) an pinch-ran 6 more times, and entered in defensively once, still without a plate appearance, but I did go 3-for-3 in Steal Attempts and score 3 runs. The next year I started in Triple-A, and about a month in the big team had an injury to their DH, so I got called up to play some first base while the incumbent 1B moved to DH. I hit .265 with 9 Steals (1 CS) in 15 Games before being sent back down to Triple-A. Here where are the 8th of August and I'm being called back up after hitting .333 with 15 Doubles, 4 Triples and 2 HR with a 36:30 BB:K, and 35 steals (4 CS) in 85 games. Hopefully this time I stick! I don't like my rookie card being worth 36 cents.

I'm playing on the Hard Level, and I'm a 3-star SS and I got drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 8th round, 217th overall.

I was a 5 star prospect catcher. Drafted in 6th over all by Tampa who gave me a 1,600,000 somethin signing bonus. But after half a season in single A they tradeed me to Boston. Bostons won the last 2 out of 3 world series and now that im on the roster were first in our division!

Vezna31 · 10-04-2004, 03:52 PM

Hard level 2.5 star SS picked 2nd round, 48th overall by my hometown Phillies. I'm hitting around .265 in August of my first season.

Branes · 10-25-2004, 03:19 AM

I was first round pick for Florida, was so surprised I didn't see what number overall. Spent 2 months in A ball, moved up to AA, got a September callup to the show, mostly as pinch runner..traded in offseason to Oakland and became starting shortstop for a contending team that just missed taking the division by 1 game. Hit .265 with 58 stolen bases, one behind league leader and 86 runs.
Starting 2d season now. My contact is 52 out of 90 so I'm expecting a much better year.

Legion of DOOM · 10-27-2004, 10:34 AM

5star starter pitcher. In 1 year Demo game pathetic level.
Drafted in 1st round, 2nd overall pick, by Oakland in 2004
