Choose The 2017 Draft Theme

[Mach]

There are many things much higher on my list of hate than Drew Henson.

[Trendy Bastard]

Well, looks like draft busts is going to win.

Who wants to compile the list/ratings for me Or at least just the list.

[Witlon]

I could do a list at work tonight. How many do you need?

[Slyder]

Just make Matt Stairs 50 times (expects smiting from Mission among others).

Off the top of my head:
3b Brandon Larson
SS Matt Bush
OF Drew Stubbs (if he's retired from this file)
MR Ryan Wagner (likewise)
SP Chris Gruler
SP Ty Howington
OF John Oliver
CA Chad Mottola (Jeter should have been ours damn you Jim Bowden!!!!)

MLB Draft - First Overall Picks - Major League Baseball - ESPN you can change the year and look at first rounders here. That outside of Bush is "notable" Reds flops without being ridiculous and saying guys drafted since 2006 can be considered flops (or off the file already).

[Trendy Bastard]

I usually shoot for 24, but 18ish or more (no more than 30 necessary)

That's 24. None of them every made it to the majors, and I double checked to make sure they weren't already in the file.

[Trendy Bastard]

Damn, that was fast

[Witlon]

Quick check of BBRef, plus having most of them in old Sim Leagues helps out quite a bit.

2018 I plan on doing the serial killers (Slyder sold me). Then for a few seasons we'll have auto generated names.

At some point I'll let Slyder do his final fantasy theme, and I'll also let him come up with the ratings

I don't want to do the ratings, I'll screw it up and either make way too many guys awesome or none of them awesome. I'll have to do some research FF6-about 10 is the extent of what I "konw". I just thought using FF guys you take the Rogues/thiefs and make them speed demons to give Hamilton some competition in the Stolen Base category.

I guarentee you this guy would be the first pick...

Maybe I'm old and none of you know anything about me, but why on God's green earth would you glorify serial killers and re-name sim players after them. I hope you reconsider. If you ever met a true serial killer or saw the result the effects and ripple effects they've had on other humans, you would be loathe to repeat their names.

I know, I'm old and you guys just think it's "cool".
