is this 47.2?

I can’t imagine Gohara would have lasted another round.

7.22 - Starling Marte - OF - PIT

Yes, I have 4 OFers already, but this guy should not still be here. Won't need a full roster until we start the sim, so will load up on assets until then.

@oso diablo

Thought I could sneak Marte through to round 8. <_<  

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

I can’t imagine Gohara would have lasted another round. 

He wouldn’t have made it past my next pick.

I've looked at him my last two picks but WIS hates his defence and I don't know if he has pop without steroids and the steals mean less to me here than they would in a traditional fantasy league. He has seemed like the top guy left for a while though.

The steroid pop makes me leary, but WIS liked his speed/defense enough last year to give him a 90 speed and A/B in the field. Plus he moves to CF this year in real life, so maybe that helps a little more.

Looks and pitches like a monster too.

Yeah, he's hard to read because last year is his best WIS defence but worst offence and the offence is questionable because of steroids. If he's 2016 stats with 2017 defense, he's a steal here, obviously.

The real question is, can he play catcher?

 

[Koya]

For RnR, or the rest of us?

 

[Bogart]

I'm not going to bust on RnR: every year besides last year, that team was mine. LOL

I noticed today playing around on the WIS site that my career W-L record is up over .500, so that's... something?

I'm still a relative noob it seems 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Re: @Greco

I had like three BTTF seasons where he was my partner and those were all losing seasons.  If you removed him from the equation, my all-time winning percentage would be close to .550 IMO. 

 

[Bogart]

Is that negative 2364  

I have never, ever claimed to be good at this, but have always had fun. All Texas Ranger shtick, fastest team possible shtick, best defensive team possible shtick (8 out of 9 Gold Gloves that year). One of these years I will try, "I want to win this" shtick.

It caught me off guard because I looked at the rating and thought "that number's higher than mine though"... then I saw the dash.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I'm like 0-5 on BTTF.

Last year I won 85 games which I think was my best return, and I drafted Matz as my #2 and G Richards as my #3 starter.  I had a lot of PAs and enough innings and managed my team well enough that I was in the playoff hunt. 

BTTF has a big learning curve IMO, and taking Tijuan Walker in the 5th round is an acquired taste.  I mostly do this to get ready for FB season, and I DO NOT use any WIS references for research.  That's probably part of my issue.  I'm pretty good at the historical ones though. 

 

[Bogart]

Leaving the office and heading home where a beer and bowl await. Will pick when I get home if it gets to me, or first thing in the morning.

Yeah, couple injuries in BTTF and you're toast. Can be left scrambling for innings or PAs just to field a valid roster. I do enjoy the drafting, great fantasy prep.

We're due for a historical draft, maybe over the summer when we hit the dog days.

There really aren’t any WIS resources you can use for this, since there aren’t any stats. In reality these 3 things will get your team near .500

1. Draft enough innings pitched. Whatever you think you need, add 50%. Then double it to account for injuries, poor seasons, and juiced balls. 

2. Have some decent projections and depth charts. Most projections deal with 3 year averages so as long as players don’t get hurt you shoujd get a decent baseline of stars. 

3. Get lucky with injuries. No explanation needed. ?

Apologies for the delay.

7.24 Marwin Gonzalez

8.01 Mike Leake

Nervous about Marwin for a number of reasons, but could be a potential piece of my all D- range infield. 

Guys, I think the starting pitching is already starting to not be very good.

That's only for BTTF, I've never played any other season than that.  Crazy this is our 8th year now doing this.

 

[cheese]

any chance he gets a decent catcher rating? even if not, i still like him at this spot.

Better chance if you take the word decent out of this sentence.

I think high floor guys have more value here than your traditional fantasy league because you can't make waiver claims here. I never end up drafting that way though.

Ive generally taken a go big or go home approach, with some pretty solid results - but I had about 6 or so miserable seasons after my first two championships in the historic leagues where the league had caught up to whatever strategies I was using, and I was just lost.  But reconfigured my approach over the last few to grab two more rings. Been twice the bridesmaid in this format though, really should have one the first year, losing to RnR I think in game 7. My second WS appearance was not as good a team, and last year I have no idea how my team won 100+ games, but I'll take it.
