Tolkien Baseball divulged the 2049 list of eligible draftees today. It got little play in BNN coverage and why should it? Most players drafted in thirty days won’t be on a big league club for years, if at all. Some will languish listlessly at the minor league level. Others will suffer a series of misfortunes, never quite making their mark, but always wowing scouts with their potential. And yet, some lucky team will draw a needle out of a haystack, send him off to the minors and forget about him for a while, only to realize they’ve got a Hall of Famer on their hands.
At any rate, teams now have thirty days to scout the draft pool prior to the draft. The Transactions page also gets a new section dedicated to the pool.
The early favorites to be high picks are the following:
1. Mun-cheol Chabel, 21 year-old 1B out of college.
2. Asecana Wisebattler, 20 year-old LF out of college.
3. Adorellan Forest-seeker, 22 year-old C out of college.
4. Blurlug Bugsmasher, 21 year-old LF out of college.
5. Trabmak Dwarftopper, 21 year-old 1B out of college.
6. Hughug the Squeaker, 22 year-old LF out of college.
7. Grimnir Gleransson, 21 year-old LF out of college.
8. Blogzug Mandragger, 20 year-old CF out of college.
9. Semolina Lightloafer, 21 year-old RF out of college.
10. Thugmag Maxim, 21 year-old CF out of college.
