The Tolkien Baseball moguls will be maneuvering, conniving and cajoling today to get the pick of the litter in this year’s amateur draft. They will be drooling and salivating over the new pups available in the rookie player draft. Numenor, Moria, Minas Ithil, Misty Mountain and Lake Town have plenty to bark and yelp about, since they will have the first five picks. In the opinion of most baseball experts, these are the most highly prized players in the 2049 draft:
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. Thugmag Maxim, 21 year-old CF out of college.
6. Semolina Lightloafer, 22 year-old RF out of college.
7. Blogzug Mandragger, 20 year-old CF out of college.
8. Hughug the Squeaker, 22 year-old LF out of college.
9. Trabmak Dwarftopper, 21 year-old 1B out of college.
10. Gamaimer Eladriendil, 20 year-old 1B out of college.
