2008 Mock Draft Scouting Director Assignments

by John Sickels on May 12, 2025 11:58 AM EDT

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: Cardinals or MOD: Giants or whatever your team is.

Remember, you MUST be available for the Mock Draft on Saturday, May 31st, at 12:00 PM central time.

Duties of the Scouting Director include managing the conversation in the MOD Diary threads. 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.

Can I run the Blue Jays draft? I will do my best to handle all of the adjacent responsibilities.

Atlanta

Could I do the Atlanta Braves, who I drafted for last year?

If you are trying to mix things up my 2nd choice would be Milwaukee.

Thank you!

Asked in another thread

but if you still need a deputy, I would love to help out.

Tampa Bay

may I take the Rays?

Hm..

Our scouting director(Tampa Bay’s) is named goyankees.

by Kevin Gengler on May 12, 2025 1:15 PM EDT up 0 recs

um...

Personally I’m offended, a yankees fan doing the Rays draft? You guys just want everything don’t ya?

by hybrid on May 12, 2025 8:58 PM EDT up 0 recs

This is ridiculous

There are about 10 diehard Rays fans on this board, and a Yankees fan will be running the Rays draft because the Yanks were already taken?

Vogt early, Vogt often.

MOD

How/where do I start it?

Re: MOD

I was wondering the same thing. lol

fanpost

make a fanpost

by John Sickels on May 12, 2025 2:24 PM EDT up 0 recs

if i may suggest

once all/most of the MODs are posted that the links to them be collected into one fanpost and then that fanpost receive sufficient recommendations or whatever so that it sticks to the top.

by larry on May 12, 2025 2:52 PM EDT up 0 recs

Mets?

Mets are my team, though I wouldn’t mind taking any of them.

by acerimusdux on May 12, 2025 12:35 PM EDT 0 recs

If you want the Mets

I will gladly serve as your deputy. I have something that evening which is why I can’t be the scouting director

by mtk52983 on May 12, 2025 12:47 PM EDT up 0 recs

You're hired :)

by acerimusdux on May 12, 2025 7:32 PM EDT up 0 recs

Texas please

by FirebatM3 on May 12, 2025 1:01 PM EDT 0 recs

beat me to it....

There should be a largegroup on lonestar ball to argue with….

by laxtonto on May 12, 2025 3:11 PM EDT up 0 recs

Minnesota

I’ll take the Twins.

by UncleBuck44 on May 12, 2025 1:01 PM EDT 0 recs

I'm in

I’d prefer the Mets, Padres would be my 2nd choice, but I’ll take any.

I did this once before when the guy who was supposed to do the Nats didn’t show in 2006.

by jeck on May 12, 2025 1:02 PM EDT 0 recs

Royals...

That said, there’s a slight chance I may not be available that day.

So if any other KC fan wants to be a 2nd in command, that would be excellent.

Tigers, if they are not taken

Amaury translates into "Punisher of Spheroids" in the lost tongue of Atlantis. Marti means "Belgian Waffle."

white sox, please

deputy

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Oakland

Since Kansas City and Baltimore are taken, I’m guessing we go Oakland. Us, being adschofield and myself, if that’s OK.

phillies

i’ll take them for the third year.

6 picks in the first 3 rounds should give me plenty of action

Seattle Mariners

I live in Seattle,...I did the D’Backs last year so I’m experienced…I work well with others… and cant do worse than Mr. Bavasi i wouldn’t think…. Hire me.

I’d like some of this site’s est and brightest to help me out if they are so inclined. NMS: be my college scouting director? Mr. Kupe: Top talent evaluator at big league level? Wily Mo? Where ya at? BJB? Your unique perspective is always welcome.

Seriously, ANYBODY with good thoughts on what the Seattle Mariners should. would do with picks 20, 66, 98 etc… let me know. I’ll be posting the first of a few Seattle MOD’s by tomorrow and probably tonight.

How many rounds?

I’m a rookie.

5

we go DEEP….all the way to the 5th round.

marlins?

i don’t think anyone has taken the marlins, so i’d like them. one of my good friends covers the team for the local paper, so i have at least one source.

:(

Man I was planning on taking a team (would have loved the Brewers with all those picks) but I can’t make it on Saturday. If it were Sunday, I could have been here but I’ll be working a soccer game pretty much all day. :( Very disapointing but I hope everyone has a great time!

by jfish26101 on May 12, 2025 3:53 PM EDT 0 recs

Milwaukee

I would like to take the Brewers if they are still available, I had a good time with this last year and am looking forward to being able to select before round 3 this year, lol

Finding MODs

Is there a possibility of creating a easy to find repository of all the MODs so as to avoid the Fanpost clutter and make it easy to access your own?

In other news, this is already quite a bit of fun!

MODs

I’m working on a way to do this.
