Mock Scouting Director Assignment Thread

by John Sickels on May 16, 2006 2:59 PM EDT in News

Scouting Director Assignments

If you want to be a scouting director, ask in the comment thread. I will update the main thread to indicate who each director is. Once you see your name on the list, please start a Mock Organization Diary, titled MOD: Yankees or MOD: Brewers or whatever your team is.

Remember, you MUST be available for the Mock Draft on Sunday, June 4, at 2:00 PM central time.

Duties of the Scouting Director include managing the conversation in the MOD Diary thread. This is a collaborative effort. I don't want you to run your threads like a dictator, but approach it like you are really a scouting director and the other participants are your scouts, farm analysts, etc. Each scouting director should have a deputy to run the draft if the SD has to step away or cancel at the last minute.

I would like to do the Royals, but I won't be around until 2:30pm--Central Time--but I could submit the pick early since it's #1...if that doesn't work and someone else wants to do it, I'm ok with that.

by nwroyal on May 16, 2006 4:25 PM EDT reply actions

You sure you'll be there at 2:30?

No director for Oakland yet? Strange.

by FI @ Minor League Ball on May 16, 2006 6:52 PM EDT reply actions

protest over Loazia

Signing. It is early but strong candidate for worst contract of winter at this point.

I will admit I liked the signing at the time because I figured we would flip him after 1 solid year and get a better prospect than we would from draft but this could be just the flushing of money down the drain.

by novaoakland on May 16, 2006 7:42 PM EDT up reply actions

I'll take Oakland

I'd like a co-director though.

question

This is my first mock draft so please excuse my ignorance. Does signability play a factor at all here?

by Ian Miller on May 16, 2006 11:37 PM EDT reply actions

john

furthermore, john, when we're making picks, do we have to keep in mind how much our club's budget is and if our club tends to deal with scott boras or not?? or do we simply try and make the best picks possible?

Sabean, stop giving away our 1st round draft picks!!
