Almost the same here. I had #3 and #4 reversed in my list though. I got at #6 the person 5th on my list. The #5 pick I had rated 21st

[Afino]

I was hoping to get that 3B at #4 as well, figuring the first three would be SP. But it's not a bad consolation prize

File is up. The season will be simmed tomorrow morning.

I needed SP quickly so went with a guy a guy closer to the big leagues. He's also LH so it plays better in my park. My park favors LH hitters so a LH pitcher will get those hitters out more often.

[Chief Rum]

I hate how it gives away a pick assigned to me by compensation when I sign a Type A free agent.

By rights, I should have been able to hold onto the #9 pick, which I was rewarded in the first free agent sim, and Alan would have received the #14 pick for me signing Gamboa.

It's weird the things that OOTP strives to make accurate but then they let a detail like that go through.
