The Draft, Team By Team
October 1, 2016 (Federal League Wire Service)
The pre-season draft meetings
ended late one night as team representatives filed out
of the meeting room at the Federal League Conference Annex. 36 players were drafted
and all are hoping to make an impact when play opens on October.
The Hallandale Twins led the way with eight picks. The Delray
Beach Mudcats, who traded several draft picks for veteran players,
only made you selection.

Rosa, SS; Joseph Romano, OF; Maikel Vidal, 1B/3B/OF; Renzo
Garcia, SS/2B Summary: The Twins picked up a couple of
quality pitchers, two promising middle infielders, and bench
depth. The is a solid draft. Grade: A-

by drafting Perez, but have not been able to sign him yet. Grade:
D-

Gladier Proman, RHP/3B; Tremaine Wright, RHP/OF; Jilber

2B; Matthew Canady, LHP/OF; David Lopez, RHP

Margate Sentries:
Andres Acosta,1B/3B; Girsan Negron, SS; Joe Feller, RHP/3B;

Tritons:
Ryan Schoonover, RHP; Francisnel Batista, 2B/OF; Matthew
Doron, RHP/OF; Ronald Robledo, SS/2B Summary: They

Keane, 1B/OF; Peter Metzler, RHP/INF; Yamid Jaramillo, 2B; Alberto
Payen, 1B/OF Summary: This was a draft about depth more than
