BTTF 2017 : Scoobus wins World Series (2 Viewers)

[oso diablo]

talked myself out of about a dozen guys here (everyone is flawed at this point), but this guy was great for me in 2016 sim, so taking a "flight to comfort"...

[Spartans Rule]

10.12 Jaime Garcia

I read two long analysis pieces on this guy trying to figure out why he gave up a ton of HRs in the 2nd half last season. They both came to the same conclusion:  

Based on most projection systems he's a steal in the 10th, but I just don't trust him.

The new Cobb Co ballpark is 15 feet shorter to the RF alley than Turner Field, albeit with a higher wall.  The club expects the new stadium will favor hitters slightly more than the old one.

Koya is going to be devastated. This was his primo trade chip the last two years...

He's worked his way up to legit preseason starter.  Was my fallback if I didn't get Schoop

10.13: Randall Grichuk, OF

Been eyeing the Grich for a while now... very tempted last go around with his XBH ability and my home park... just seems to be a lot of workable to good OF options that could benefit from SIMROIDing, so thought it best to hold off. 

 

[the moops]

I have actual work to do in an hour and will be mostly unavailable for a bit. Let's get this rolling

@cosjobs

I lost his #, someone text him

 

[scoobus]

I can take a list.

 

[the moops]

my list contains one name. if he is gone, i go into 30 second scramble mode and find some other name

 

[scoobus]

Well I can take the one name. Not sure I should be entrusted for the 30 second scramble.

[Spartans Rule]

My shortlist was Kimbrel, then basically all the OFs that just got picked. Gimme a few minutes to catch up.

 

[cosjobs]

A few more clarifications, please.

I heard we line-up eight batters and a pitcher. Do the pitchers bat, do we have a DH or what?

So if this thing is 45 rounds, then we will all have 45 men on our teams. Are they all active/eligible to enter into the daily line-up? Or are there machinations required

No DH, pitchers bat.

You'll only have a 25-man roster at a time, plus there's a weird AAA mechanism where you can stash a few guys that you can exchange in and out during the season. The long draft is mostly because we don't allow in-season pickups.
