The 2051 amateur draft pool was published today with barely a mention on BNN. But then, fans rarely get drawn into amateur drafts. The players are not known commodities and they’re not tangible, recognizable names. They might be five years down the road, but casual fans don’t get sucked in by “might be,” they get excited about what is happening in the here and now. Over the next 30 days, scouts will assess their possibilities, run mock drafts and formulate their plans.
To help them, Tolkien Baseball has posted an interactive draft section on its Transactions page, which will be available for 30 days before draft day.
The early favorites to be high picks are the following:
1. Throblag the Insane, 20 year-old CF out of college.
2. Kombayn Giantchoker, 19 year-old LF out of college.
3. Gorhendad Hilldweller, 19 year-old LF out of college.
4. Halgondas Brisebois, 19 year-old CF out of college.
5. Karsten Demoncooties, 19 year-old 2B out of college.
6. Mubgorg Ghoulslicer, 19 year-old 2B out of college.
7. Hildigard Yonkers, 19 year-old RHP out of college.
8. Ferdinand Bracegirdle, 19 year-old RF out of college.
9. Fildaerae MacCooey, 19 year-old C out of college.
10. Legewyn Pimpernelsson, 19 year-old LF out of college.
