These things take forever in person. I only sat through three rounds, and that took three hours. Apparently they went for six more rounds and six more hours. So my roster is nowhere near complete, though I thank Bill Abner for not sticking me with crappy pitchers.<\/p>\n<p>Given how popular online leagues are, it&#8217;s a little disappointing that OOTP doesn&#8217;t have a real online draft system that works without everyone compiling a draft list of 500 players or so. If our league had any confidence in the computer draft system, we could have done that.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands now, I like my rotation and I have a stud middle reliever who only needs one more average pitch to become a starter &#8211; he has a 10 fastball, a 10 splitter and a 10 stamina. But he&#8217;ll need a third pitch to become effective as a SP. Good news &#8211; he&#8217;s 22 and has time to do that. Bad news &#8211; he may never develop that third pitch. He&#8217;ll probably pitch in close to 70 games for me as a reliever with that kind of stamina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, we had our opening draft for the OOTP 10 Baseball league I am in.
