BTTF 2017 : Scoobus wins World Series (2 Viewers)

[jfranco77]

If not, I'll trade for a 4A starter.

That worked out well for you last season when i gave you Montgomery and Nicasio

INNINGS!!!!!! Actually wasn't too bad last year, hoping for the same or better for one final contract push.

His warm up music at the stadium.

13.20 - Josh Tomlin, SP, CLE

Does anybody know how he simmed last year?  I love the BB/9 but the HR/9 scared me away.

 

[Doug B]

I'm very down on Harvey to stay healthy, and they have other question marks too. I love Gsellman's stuff and even if he's 90 innings with 3 IP/G, I'll make it work.

That kind of usage is actually very useful in a WIS league.

 

[Spartans Rule]

2B Ryan Schimpf SD

He has a lot of flaws, but 20 HR in 330 PA last year from a 2B is pretty enticing in round 13.

If he made it back to me in the 14th I was gonna take him even though I already have Neil Walker.

Unless you're forced to use him as a starter

Get two guys like that and you can go tandem starter.

Well, I'm thinking he's got at least power and walks + good defense. An AVG over .240 for him would be huge.

Some of us figured this out way back in the oughts.

You're never forced to use a 3 IP/G guy as a starter. No more than you're forced to use a real-life closer or middle reliever as a starter.

Hunter Renfroe OF - DING! (Hopefully not dong)

[Koya]

Montgomery was a bit too shy on IP.G .... already likely firing a bit by 40 pitches.  But he was a key eater of innings in my less conventional pairing him with lowing IP/G guys to take a 4 inning starter through 6.

About to take off - should have wifi once at altitude but can send a one man list to speed things up

Send it.

Shoot it here.

Jorge Polanco, SS  Defense is not important at short, right?

Matt Holliday, Bat/Thames insurance

@Sammy3469

 

[Spartans Rule]

I almost took Holliday in like round 8 before realizing he's a DH now. Still could be pretty useful at 1B or a bench bat, or maybe interleague or injury gets him into the OF for a few games.

Old guys that can get on base.  I'm not to sure about field but we will see

Jon Lester

Johnny Cueto

Jameson Taillon

Tyler Anderson

Ricky Nolasco

Hopefully can get 3-4 full starters out of this bunch.

If he's able, the potential is there for some OF ABs with the Carter signing.

Define "able"

Poor drafting & bad luck

As I recall, WIS did some arbitrary limiting of how tandem starters could be used.  Was it you can't do a five man rotation with a tandem slot?

 

[rodg12]

For @Koya...

14.3 - Martin Prado, 3B, MIA

 

[cheese]

Has to be your last starter. So if you're using a 4 man, only 4a and 4b are a thing.  If 5 man, only 5a and 5b are possible.  At least that's how I remember it.

Holliday's been A+/D- the last two years. If they change the rules to allow 10 fielders, he'll win a gold glove.

Thanks.  All my SP this year are going to be 200 IP w/ 7.0 IP/G but this info might come in handy for somebody.

 

[RnR]

He's gotta sign somewhere eventually, right?

14.05 - Matt Wieters, C, FA

 

[rodg12]

14.06 - Mike Zunino, C, SEA

Just a sec.  Sniped on Wieters

you cant have a regular starter start after a tandem.

You can go:

1.

2.

3a/3b

4a/4b

but not:

1. 

2a/2b

3

4

But damn, did he stroke it in the SIMROID era last season.

My bigger concern is if he plays 1B more and less OF does the - become worse, and possibly play few enough games to be a real liability in the OF... But as a 1B definitely a ddcent bat at this point who should rake a bit in yankee stadium with a rebound in OBP

Yeah it's a PITA to manage

it can be, yes. Ive gotten stuck a couple times scrambling for a starter because i got busy and didnt have a chance to reset the order

Francisco Cervelli available?

Thanks.  At least I'm pretty sure the Pirates won't sign Wieters.

Surprised a few guys went before him. Yes, he has a noodle arm, and a noodle bat... but consistently good OBP. Was my #9 hitter most of last season to set up a lineup with my best power/overall bats at 2/3
