BTTF 2018: MLB123746 (3 Viewers)

[Bogart]

I seriously considered drafting a team with 3 superstar hitters and then drafting 20 starting pitchers and 27 relievers and trading off all the excess pitching for hitting to build a lineup. There are always like 10 teams with an extra full-time hitter or two that goes wasted. 

Could be an absolute train wreck, but I would still win more games than RnR did last year....

I had probably three hitters I could have traded before the season last year. My bench was loaded.

Cripes almighty enough with the Ps . Absolutely getting railed here

4.19 - Lance Lynn, Free Agent

 

[scoobus]

There's surely been more SP taken through however many picks we're at than in year's past.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

4.21 CF Byron Buxton/Minneapolis Moops

 

[Spartans Rule]

4.20 CF Byron Buxton/Minneapolis Moops

I'm up before you. But you can keep Buxton, I'm going pitcher here. Pick in a second.

Very interested to see what he does this year, could be big.

Hey I know you Dartmouth guys are kinda slow, but Kyle Hendricks going in the 2nd round should have tipped you to the fact that starting pitchers value in this is kinda high.  

Let's review...

PLENTY OF TALENT AVAILABLE.

Sorry man, I have to run out and premature epickulated. 

 

[Koya]

Sorry man, I have to run out and premature epickulated. 

Having Sparty RIGHT BEHIND YOU will do that.  

 

[Spartans Rule]

4.20 Danny Salazar, SP, CLE

Exactly the type of pitcher I look for in this format - injury risk, inconsistent, control problems.

 

[Spartans Rule]

@HellToupee is up

Pitching is for losers.

We might have an intersection between B2TF and Gobbler earlier than ever at this rate.  Shoot, it may have already happened!

[SoCalBroncoFan]

BTTF 2017 - 46 Starting Pitchers drafted through 4 rounds. 

BTTF 2018 - 51 Starting Pitchers drafted with 1 pick to go to finish round 4.

Definitely more SP drafted, 5 more so far, could be as many as 6.

Round 5 - 11 were drafted. 

Round 6 - 10 were drafted.

Is that as bad as the Mozgov line? (can something be worse?)

I wasted a 49th rounder on him last year.

Never again.

I can't pull last SIM stats, but can you check to see what Samardija did for me in the SIM.  I swear the guy thru like 7 complete games, 250 innings, had a 1.1ish whip and won over 20 games.

Not justifying how stinky he is in real life, but the SIM loves innings and low walks.

Through four rounds in our BTTF drafts:

2016 - 43 SPs taken
2015 - 42
2014 - 38
2013 - 36
2012 - 36

Gobbler rewards inning eaters and HRs allowed.

Sorry about previous post, was using wrong search bar on sheet.  Picks coming ...

 

[Koya]

Oh, wait... that's @TobiasFunke.   WHA???

@HellToupee - need your stadium pick before your next pick (no waiting to build a team then find a stadium that best suits it)

 

[Koya]

Several rounds ago is shtick. A top 10 overall draft pick? It's like Rove! territory, maybe even Ren.

4.24: Wil Myers, 1B, SD

5.1 Garrett Richards, SP, LAA

Explanation for previous picks: I was searching the spreadsheet using the browser search function (which does not work on a spreadsheet, FYI), not the find and replace function on the spreadsheet

Alternate explanation:  I'm a ####ing idiot and you people should know that by now.

Just stadiums from 2018

Fenway and Wrigley and Dodger Stadium are old. ?

 

[oso diablo]

current parks

Turner Field shouldn't be on there, though

No, only stadiums that are open this season. 

What’s leftover? Really don’t care
