Some years you'll see a banner crop with a ton of great players, other years, you'll only see 1 or 2 high end players with a few more major league filler types. Moral of the story: patience can be a virtue, but sometimes haste is the best action and you'll never know until the season ends.
In Spahn this year we've had THREE 92 OVR or higher IFAs sign ($15m in advanced scouting for me). One guy who signed for $25 million is probably the best IFA I've ever seen and he has a chance to be the best hitter in Spahn by the time he reaches the Majors.
I signed the first 92 Overall guy and at the time I signed him I thought he was the best IFA I've seen in that world in the last 8 seasons. Now, I'm pretty sure he's the 3rd best IFA from THIS YEAR. It's been absolutely crazy.
