 | ABL News: Draft Pool Revealed Monday, August 24th, 2015 For the entrants in this year's rookie draft, released today by the league, the possibilities are endless. Some will immediately seize their opportunity to play in the bigs with a venom, doggedly working their way up through the system to arrive on the pro circuit in three to five years, if they are lucky. Others will struggle, have their hopes dashed, reborn and dashed again, all the while not fully giving up on the dream. Still others will take each day as it comes, while not losing sight of the end-game. They will figure it out, quietly work their way into the professional ranks and have solid, if not spectacular careers in Adult Baseball League. At any rate, teams now can scout the draft pool for the next 30 days. The Transactions page also gets a new section dedicated to the pool and will be available for 75 days prior to draft day. The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be: 1. William Howard, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 2. Carlos Ruíz, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 3. Ed Lott, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 4. Misao Kokawa, 23 year-old center fielder out of college. 5. Lowell Anderson, 22 year-old right fielder out of college. 6. Tim Buck, 22 year-old first baseman out of college. 7. Octávio García, 22 year-old first baseman out of college. 8. Katsumoto Suzuki, 31 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 9. Yodo Moriguchi, 26 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 10. Mitsuharu Kohara, 26 year-old left fielder out of college. You can find the draft pool in the league transactions screen (league menu). |   |
