Title: Youth pulls week 2
Post by: valkorum on February 06, 2012, 12:09:07 PM
I am still interested in any youth pulls that you may have for week 2.  Mainly after batsman - Bermudan is my preference ;)

This is the last week that I will be looking to purchase players

Is it not good enough to be posting in the youth pull thread valk or do we need a new one each week now? :P

I'll be trying to get a bowler anyway cos I lose 2 at the end of the season. 1 I already have a replacement for, but need 1 for the other...

Figured a new thread cos the other one seems to have lost its way ;)

Would really like to pick up an avg/avg Bermudan batsman :)

Went for a Zimbabwean batsman but this is actually the first time for me my scouts have been unable to find a suitable player so I got a Scottish lad....ave batting and opener talent, but unfortunately that's about it. Can be worked with though.

For the first time in a very long time I decided not to pull from Bermuda. Ended up pulling from New Zealand since I had never pulled from there before. Asked for a seam bowler and this is what I got ;D

Dont really need another medium bowler.  If he was a batsman you would probably have a deal.

Fair enough. I wouldn't have needed another batter so would have sold, whereas I do need another bowler for next season. Good thing is he has poor experience so doesn't matter if I don't play him much this season :)
Shame he is a medium though, FM or fast would have been very nice...

If he was a FM or F then I am sure I could have made room for him ;)

The last avg/avg fastie on the market went for $1million.
I spent $500k on an avg/avg wristie.

Definitely money to be made on avg/avg pulls of FM/F/WS

Undecided which youth I should go for

Batsman   average
Bowler   ordinary
Keeper   poor
Allrounder   ordinary

Batting   reasonable    Endurance   average
Bowling   ordinary    Technique   average
Keeping   poor    Power   average
Fielding   average


or


Batsman   ordinary
Bowler   ordinary
Keeper   ordinary
Allrounder   ordinary

Batting   ordinary    Endurance   ordinary
Bowling   ordinary    Technique   average
Keeping   average    Power   ordinary
Fielding   reasonable

I really want the first player (he is Bermudan as well) but not sure if he is going to get put on the market as manager is very inactive and still has to agree to put on the market.  The second player is on the market now.  Both will go for around $1million and I only have $2.5million available.  Or should I just go for both and blow all my hard earned money - it is a WC year for youths :P

1st guy clearly better and will go for a ton. He is an automatic U19 NAT.

2nd guy will be an awesome keeper-batsman and if trained right should also be a Nat.  The 1st guy isnt up for sale and I dont know if he will be as the manager is very inactive and is also not very responsive.  We been trying to contact him since he pulled him in week 1.

Hopefully you get 2 x tech pops and not the dreaded bat/tech/bat/tech combo

He isn't a bad keeper, is he? Possible outcome, but for now I'll just train tech and see how it goes ;)
