In an attempt to keep real players from being outnumbered by sim-generated players in future seasons, I made a proposal to Larry that the first two rounds of the CBL draft be filled with the matching players drafted in the MLB 2006 amateur draft (this would include the 44 players chosen during the 1st round and supplemental first round). This proposal was approved.
I plan on going forward with this, but today I landed myself a new job. However, I should still have time to work on this an hour or two a day during the week and dedicate more time during the weekend. But with the fast pace being set for the CBL to move into the next season soon, I could use a little help. Basically, I need people with access to up-to-date scouting reports to send me scouting info on the players listed below. The main things I need for the pitchers are reports on their velocity, scouting on stuff, movement, control and their projected ceilings. For the position players, scouting on their hitting and fielding abilities, positions they play and projections on their abilities. The best thing you could do is post this info here in this thread. The more concise the info is to match my needs the better. Sources used would also be appreciated.
Hopefully, with your help, we can finish the draftee edit before draft day arrives. Thanks.
