farmteam Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I was surfing around NBAdraft.net (which, by the Way, now has Deron Williams going 18th overall in the 2006 draft...they think he'll stay, interesting) and I thought, "Why can't baseball have something like this?" For all I know, there already is, but I've never heard of it. Do you guys think it is a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 To flesh out my idea a bit more: Have bios of top draft prospects, a mock draft for the first few rounds, some rumblings, hot prospects, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 There are a lot of sites that do that, and furthermore, a lot of damn good people right here on this site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 I've seen bits and pieces, never whole, one, dedicated site. Link, please? I'd like to check one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 BaseballAmerica.com does a mock draft of the first 30-45 players every year and scouting reports on the top 200 or so. With tid-bits about thousands of other draft candidates scattered about in their state rankings. TeamOneBaseball.com used to do a very similar thing but I'm not sure if they will continue doing so. Its alot tougher to find baseball scouting reports online than basketball, football etc, alot more people see the other college sports on tv and can form their opinion. Baseball is half high school in which only scouts get to see alot of the players and are privy to the information. So it would be tough to formulate a website on the stuff without alot of scout contacts. Even then its a guessing game for the most part.

farmteam Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 I do use Baseball America a lot, it's good stuff. It was just an idea, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yeah don't worry about it. It can still be done if you get some good contacts. NBADraft.net has some decent contacts, but for the most part your guess is as good as theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
