Players In Draft

[MikeG719]

Does it appear that the draft is always heavy on MR with really high potentials?

Is this by design?

That's my experience also. All MR's.

yeah, it's realistic because the majority of real live draft classes are made of relievers, they just don't get as much publicity (or salary) and many remain undrafted. even so, relievers do make up a large portion of any major league team

Which is why you never pay your relievers a good salary...supply and demand. The only reliever you need to pay is your closer, and only if he's absolutely amazing and you have no one else who can take his spot.

agree, but an exception to this is the new york yankees after you get rid of your higher wage earners, having a group of premier relievers can win you an extra 5-10 games per season, but at a price most teams cannot afford.

i'm playing as the angels now, and i find drafting a good reliever every year and never renewing his contract works fine
