I may not be the General Manager of the San Jose Sabercats, but there are certainly times in which I feel like I am. I have been doing so much advanced scouting leading up to this draft. I have compiled a spreadsheet, listing all the prospects and their vitals in TPE order, so that our actual GMs, CKRoyal and BenLongshaw can make an accurate assessment of who would be the best choice to put in a Sabercats uniform for the upcoming season.
I have to say, it's all pretty crazy. Having done my research on upwards of eighty different prospects, I am a little tired. But now new guys just pop up, like almost every day, which means I have to go check their builds out, and evaluate their activity levels. I know it will all be worth it in the long run, but for now, it's quite the task. The few remaining days leading up to the draft will be quite exciting, and I'm sure I'll be drinking plenty of coffee to keep me going for the long haul.
Having the eighth pick means that seven players will be taken before, but that only applies if we stay put. I have also been talking about potential trades, which is even more tiring than scouting, since it involves dealing with other GMs and really assessing trade value.
Well, we shall see how this pans out, but I will know I got my money's worth as far as workload is concerned.
