***BTTF VI: Draft Over! See you in October (2 Viewers)

[Doug B]

With three days left in the MLB schedule, here are updated stats on my trade block:
 

C David Ross (202 PA, .233/.343/.454, 10 HR)
C Tyler Flowers (318 PA, .270/.358/.423, 8 HR)
C Steven Vogt (521 PA, .252/.303/.403, 13 HR) - would need maybe 50 catching PAs to come back.

3B/2B Yangervis Solarte (431 PA, .290/.346/.473, 15 HR, .969 FLD%) - Would need 3B PA back as part of a multi-player deal. Also will qualify as a 2B in WIS.
3B Conor Gillespie (199 PA, .258/.302/.430, 6 HR, .981 FLD%) - passable offense ... can help someone light on 3B PA. Should be a defensive cookie at 3B, too.

UT Marwin Gonzalez (510 PA, .254/.294/.403, 12 HR, .991 FLD%) - similar hitter to Gillespie, but more versatile in the field. Will qualify in WIS at 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, and OF. Could help someone short on PAs at a few spots.

OF Michael Bourn (400 PA, .260/.306/.370, 5 HR, 15 SB) - bench speed, enough offense to start in a pinch
OF Tommy Pham (183 PA, .226/.324/.440, 9 HR, 1.000 FLD%) - not as attractive a piece as he was in mid-August, but good pop and a for-sure defensive cookie.

RHSP James Shields (32 GS, 18 QS, 174.2 IP, 5.82 ERA, 1.620 WHIP, 5.86 DICE) - less yucky than a few weeks ago, but still yucky. But anyone who needs starting innings in bulk can get him cheap.
LHSP Adam Morgan (21 GS, 8 QS, 113.1 IP, 6.04 ERA, 1.500 WHIP, 4.84 DICE) - can be had cheap, could help someone half a starter short.

LHP Sean Doolittle (38 IP, 2.61 ERA, 1.000 WHIP, 3.03 DICE) - can help someone short on lefty bullpen arms, need a RHP back.
LHP Xavier Cedeno (41.1 IP, 3.70 ERA, 1.185 WHIP, 2.49 DICE) - ditto.
LHP Vidal Nuno (57.1 IP, 3.45 ERA, 1.326 WHIP, 4.43 DICE) - ditto.

RHP Shane Green (60 IP, 5.55 ERA, 1.283 WHIP, 2.98 DICE) - inclined to keep him, but could be part of multi-player deal.
RHP Trevor Cahill (64 IP, 2.64 ERA, 1.284 WHIP, 4.22 DICE) - ditto.

CL Kenley Jansen (67.2 IP, 1.86 ERA, 0.635 WHIP, 1.24 DICE) - as part of a multi-player deal that improves my starting pitching and bench batting, could move Jansen to an owner with enough pieces to overpay. Jansen's sorta half on the block, half not -- I'd have to be wowed by the offer. It's just that he's my single best player at his position ... and therefore probably my biggest bargaining chip.

 

[jfranco77]

Doug, what do you need back? I could sure use one of those catchers!

Any pitching or good bench bats. Will be looking in earnest this afternoon.

 

[the moops]

looking for 3B and RP

have to offer some combo of

Mike Leake, Julio Urias, Fernando Abad, Danny Espinosa, John Jaso, David Wright,  Josh Bell

 

[Northern Voice]

I have available:

2B Brett Lawrie 384 PA 248/310/413

OF Matt Szczur 196 PA 260/313/398

1B Ryan Howard 350 PA, .448 SLG, if someone needs a "power" bat on the bench.

RP Trevor May 42.2IP 12.7 K/9, 3.66 DICE, all other stats ugly

RP Arodys Vizcaino 38.2 IP, 11.6 K/9, 0.7 HR/9, 3.52 DICE, all other stats really really ugly

RP Jake McGee 45.2 IP, he's left handed

I need 200 or so PA's at both catcher and 3B to platoon with my Castro and Kang respectively.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Available:

C: Carlos Perez -- 38% CS...204/237/313...287 PA

SS Andrelton Simmons -- 280/322/367....4 HRs...10 SBs... probably B+/A+?

Some other junky catchers, danny santana and #### like mikie mahtook.

Needs:

Looking for an upgrade in the OF, otherwise I'm trotting Souza, Leonys Martin and Sano/Buxton out there most days.  

Have enough SP innings, but wouldn't mind trying to upgrade a bit as several of my starters have ERAs in the mid 4s.

 

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

Available:

CA: Cameron Rupp - 407PA .254/.307/.455.  

SP: Jharel Cotton - 25IP 0.680 WHIP 1.44 ERA (Should get 1 more start this weekend)

Plus a bunch of crappy relievers

Looking for starting pitcher innings and/or infield upgrades (trust me they all suck).

 

[Koya]

  waiting on some (expectedly sub par) defensive rankings!

 

[jfranco77]

If anyone needs massive quantities of innings, I can definitely hook you up for even a small improvement in quality. 

 

[the moops]

Still looking for a 3B

Freese? Drury? Ramirez?

 

[Doug B]

I'm looking for about 80 games at the catcher position. I have speedy Dee Gordon, well-rounded Richie Weeks Jr, patient Justin Smoak, and iconic Alex Rodriguez available. Not looking for anything special, just need the ABs. Can even throw back 49 bad Hank Conger catching games if needed.

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT

Bogart sends:
LHP Chris Rusin
RHP Tony Barnette
RHP Bryan Shaw
C Hank Conger

to Doug B in exchange for:
C Steven Vogt
RHP John Axford
LHP Vidal Nuno
RHP Trevor Cahill

Agreed. 

 

[Spartans Rule]

I forgot how D ratings work... will playing 7 games at SS give Jhonny Peralta any kind of rating there?

If so, I may not have to make any trades although I'd still like to improve the pen a bit. If not, I may need to trade for a 150-200 PA backup SS.

 

[Doug B]

I forgot how D ratings work... will playing 7 games at SS give Jhonny Peralta any kind of rating there?

He should have a rating -- and not necessarily a terrible one. Just using one of my own players as an example.

Marwin Gonzalez played:

- 4 games at LF, 1 game at RF in 2014, was a B+/C- OF in WIS

- 4 games at 3B in 2013, was a D+/C- 3B

- 6 games at 2B in 2012, was a B-/D- 2B

Thanks Doug

Peralta had a 1.000 fielding percentage and a better RF/G than last year in his brief time at SS, so I'm optimistic that will translate into something playable.

 

[scoobus]

I always thought a player had to have about 15-20 games at a position to avoid an automatic D-/D-, but I looked up Marwin Gonzalez's stuff and it looks like Doug is right. Huh.

I could have sworn the part in red was right at one time. Maybe something changed in the last year or three on WIS, and we really didn't pick up on it. Or maybe they're incorporating stats from very recent seasons in a different way than stats from older seasons.

 

[Koya]

Database..... not updated.

I was happy to have a 2B that wasn't D- range.  And here I got two! (barely).

 

[scoobus]

Trade:

Scoobus sends:  Kevin Siegrist, Brad Ziegler, Jeanmar Gomez

Frosty sends:  Jose Ramirez

Yep.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Thanks Doug

Peralta ended up D/D-. Not what I hoped but at least he got a rating.

 

[jfranco77]

Looking for 150-200 decent PAs at catcher. Can give similar quality PAs at OF.

 

[AcerFC]

Scoobus and acer trade

Duke for Garcia

 

[AcerFC]

Looking for SS and OF help

 

[scoobus]

Scoobus and acer trade

Duke for Garcia

confirmed

 

[rodg12]

D range for Xander Bogaerts.  <_<

 

[Koya]

Where do we see who is AAA eligible?

 

[the moops]

I thought Altuve had a chance to challenge Trout for top spot.

 

[rodg12]

Where do we see who is AAA eligible?

Not sure we can see that until the league is created.

 

[Eephus]

Not sure we can see that until the league is created.

Hint

 

[Northern Voice]

Some guys missing? I can't find Beltran.

 

[Koya]

Hint

Yeah, THE STAKES ARE RAISED. 

Let's get this #### sharted. 

 

[Koya]

Some guys missing? I can't find Beltran.

Saw a note saying there will be a handful of seasons that are unavailable this sim for some reason.  

 

[Doug B]

Some guys missing? I can't find Beltran.

Just searched the Draft Center for "Abreu, Jose" ... and his 2016 season didn't show up. Then searched for "Abreu, Jo" ... and his 2016 DID show up  

EDIT: was testing a theory that Spanish accent marks over certain letters were messing up the search -- wanted to do a search that got around the accented "é" in "José".

 

[Koya]

Just searched the Draft Center for "Abreu, Jose" ... and his 2016 season didn't show up. Then searched for "Abreu, Jo" ... and his 2016 DID show up  

I couldn't find Cespedes, so I just sorted by stats and he was there.  If you seek someone not at the top of any stat, just narrow the search to within a few points of their avg, obp or slg and they should come up. 

 

[Doug B]

Some guys missing? I can't find Beltran.

Try searching on "Last Name = Beltr", "First Name = Carlos". There's an accent mark in "Beltrán".

 

[Northern Voice]

Try searching on "Last Name = Beltr", "First Name = Carlos". There's an accent mark in "Beltrán".

Thanks, I found him now. Had to have "include secondary positions" checked for him to show up in any search at all...

 

[Doug B]

Yeah, the accent mark issue is apparently a thing ... couldn't find Marwin González by searching "Gonzalez, Marwin", but he turned up when searching "Gonz, Marwin".

 

[Bogart]

A-Rod didn't show up for me. Neither did Raul Mondesi.

Then again, it could just be my WIS skills.

 

[Doug B]

A-Rod didn't show up for me. Neither did Raul Mondesi.

Rodríguez, Álex
Mondesí, Raúl

 

[Doug B]

You can get A-Rod and Raul Mondesi by searching by "New York Yankees" or "Kansas City Royals", year 2016 to 2016.
