2040 Rookie Draft
By my count, we are essentially sitting at 9 AP left to use, total. I had planned to use 20 rookie interviews, but now I think I need to skip that and instead fly blind through the draft again, and conserve the AP. I’m looking ahead to a renegotiation with CB Booker, and I don’t see how we would possibly afford it otherwise.
Code:
Pick Pos Name Grd Adj 4TBAJP Dev O/U Scout AP Comments
1.30 DT Emmitt Ashenfelter 5.2 5.6 ++ 30% NA 31/63 0 Just looks the part

I can’t say I’m thrilled here, but I’m hopeful that we’ll get some solid contributors from this lot. I reached a bit at DT to take the need guy, and missed out on a MLB who I **loved** for a move to DE, but he went to – San Francisco, at 1.32. Bastards.
