What are your scouting budgets?

14/14  this is season #1 and my team has no talent at any level.  I will be picking in the top 4 next season and I have multiple crap contracts that will prevent me from making a big enough splash in FA be much better for the next two seasons.

So a team with a $39M payroll is so hamstrung that  you'll be picking top 4 next season?

I dont need ******* comments.. Stick to the topic..

You're not in that world, why do you care how he runs his team?  He said he doesn't have the talent, it's not too hard for him to figure out where his team is headed.


ETA:  replying to hbdgirl's now redlined comment.

You don't have to explain your reasons for building a team to anyone.  The object is to build a dynasty, at least that's how I see it, according to the HBD rules and the guidelines set by your world, if any.  Not by other users definition of how they play the game or according to any so-called "elite" worlds.

If you have good pitching coaches at various levels, I personally would take the 18yr old righthander.  But I play in seattle and my park greatly helps pitchers.  With good coaches and useage, he could see an 8 to 9 point improvement season 1, his makeup is very high, as is his health.  If your in a neutral park the 2nd basemen is not a bad choice, as he could also move to 1st base (lots of plus plays), or left field, as I have seen more middle infielders that are good in the draft.

I didn't see the brownedout post.  But, the comment about "not getting much better for the next two seasons" is going to ruffle feathers. 

Quite often, "not getting better" is a choice, not a pre-ordained destiny.  Believing that it has to be played out that way does not necessarily make it true.

I like the RHP and the 2B.  None of these is a really outstanding #1 pick.

I would take the RHP too.

im picking #4 
I was leaning toward the  RHP and was back and forth between the C and the 2B.

in that case, I would go RHP, 2B, LHP, C/DH

The only reason I'm questionable about the 2B is his 45 make up.
