2.04 Michael Bourn

Take it from an old guy, once you lose your speed it don't come back.

 

[Frostillicus]

aaron harang

Sniped!

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I was thinking I'd like Bourn at the 3/4 turn. Past-their-prime vets seems to be a good place to be.

 

[Spartans Rule]

2.5 Chris Johnson, 3B, Braves

Gotta love a singles hitter who strikes out all the time.

 

[Eephus]

2.5 Chris Johnson, 3B, Braves

There are bad Chris Johnsons in MLB, NFL and NBA. It would be a solid 1.01 pick in Ubergobbler

 

[Annyong]

Dammit, thats a good pick.

 

[JZilla]

The great Will Middlebrooks please

 

[the moops]

The great Will Middlebrooks please

Good luck with his 400PA in AAA

 

[Eephus]

The great Will Middlebrooks please

First round potential if he plays enough

 

[Spartans Rule]

The great Will Middlebrooks please

He was definitely on my radar. Managed to rank as the 28th leading scorer last year in only 215 PA, then got traded to the Padres, who play in a pitcher's park and have minimal 3B competition.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

We're doing a big-ish bench, right? Are there games played minimums per week or year?

 

[RnR]

14 man lineups (C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OFx3, 6 P). No DL or bench slots.

12 add/drops per season.

The idea was to minimize in-season maintenance. If you're hanging out on a fantasy baseball board, you're probably in too many leagues already and SportsCenter isn't going to show Will Middlebrooks striking out and hitting into a DP.

We can still increase transactions if there's unanimous agreement.

An NBA version of this would be interesting.

Seems like it would be advantageous to start guys that don't play in the format. Hope you get a couple of crappy SP outings and wa la.

Yeah. It would be possible to have a very simplified version just with +/- numbers. Missed shots and TOs are obvious categories but the lack of a negative rebounding metric is an issue.

It's possible that could be the shark move at some shallow positions like 1B But generally, I think the scoring weights IPs and ABs enough that you need (bad) playing time in quantity to score points.

 

[Annyong]

should we be removing the players from Eephus Google doc as they are drafted?

 

[RnR]

I haven't made a pick in four days. I'm making a pick today whether you guys like it or not. Up to the three guys in front of me as to whether or not it is in the correct draft order.

 

[Spartans Rule]

It's not an advantage. Players who average positive points are better than players who average zero, even if they occasionally hit a couple HRs and go into negatives for the week.

I think it's not a huge disadvantage to leave a blank in your lineup though, which helps with minimal maintenance. If you have a guy do a 15-day DL stint or some awful #5 starter gets skipped in the rotation, you don't have to blow a transaction.

 

[Eephus]

There's more than two months until opening day and this is a 14 round draft.

I'll be nice and relaxed when I submit this draft pick by COB.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I suppose the horse has left the barn, but no bench really adds to the value of those pickups too. Anyhoo, carry on!

I'm ready to pick i think

 

[Eephus]

Thoughts on 2 hour clock starting at 3.01?

in favor: RnR

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

X is around...pretty sure he's sleeping on it™

 

[rodg12]

in favor: RnR

Works for me.

 

[Spartans Rule]

I'm fine with a clock, as long as people can text me if I come up in the morning. I think TRE and Eephus have my #.

 

[Chemical X]

2.7 jon schoop, 2b

hoping For power regression and a sophomore s lump.

 

[rodg12]

2.08 - Anthony Gose, OF, DET

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

For Frosto:

2.09 -- Jorge De La Rosa, SP - Stones

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Anyone heard from RnR?

 

[RnR]

2.10 - Alexi Amarista (2B, SS, 3B, OF)

This guy has a lot going for him. Seen here with a typical post at-bat reaction, Amarista brings eligibility at four different positions to the table. I believe our friends at Baseball Prospectus put it best when they said: "Amarista's ability to play anywhere helps-- he admirably plugged the Padres' shortstop sinkhole last year-- but reaching first base less often than an actual padre limits his value." Or, in my case, makes him a Gobbler superhero. GB you, Alexi, and cheers to the fabulously awful summer we're going to share together.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

If he really has that much eligibility, that's huge.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Oops, wait, no bench.

 

[Annyong]

2 hour clock and the season is like 6 months away? I say we wait, or at least a 6 hour clock or something.

 

[Eephus]

Do you speak for your brother?

2 hour clock starting at 3.01?

in favor: RnR, Sparty

opposed: 1/2 Wrigyong

 

[Eephus]

Oops, wait, no bench.

Well, it would allow RnR to preserve transactions a little

Sniped!

 

[Frostillicus]

For Frosto:

2.09 -- Jorge De La Rosa, SP - Stones

Thanks pal. He should keep his job all year, barring injury, and he should be pretty terrible at getting people out.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

1.12 - Colby Lewis, SP

2.01 - Jordan Lyles, SP

I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I figure Colby has a rotation spot and he's terrible. As long as he doesn't break again maybe I can get 170 horrible innings. And perhaps Jordan Lyles can return to those 5+ ERAs of prior years. I figure he has a job all year anyway...I don't know.

Now with links to video evidence of suck!
