***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (2 Viewers)

[Doug B]

But hey, when you admittedly make rules on the run, you have to have some flexibility. 

You said this in the basketball draft and I was just as then. Didn't Cappy make a rules thread and spell out rules in the first post?

Uh oh. Here it comes.*sits against wall and puts head between knees*

Nah. As for me, I'm not pushing it now -- just talking about it.However, as fun as the WIS sim will be, I am taking the results with a huge grain of salt (win or lose). I am looking more to the FFA vote (hoping to finish top 4 -- Cap's got that in the bag), and to the OOTP sim.

What I meant by on the run is that we are a group of (mostly) strangers on an internet board, trying to set something up for fun.It is not like we sat around a table, spent hours hashing out specifics of rules, understanding and knowing the consequences (i.e. we said we would use a Sim, not sure which one. Then we decided wis.com, and some guys knew the site, others never heard of it). So, if we said something and later recognized maybe we made a mistake, I would have thought that people would agree and not just look to see if it helps/hurt their teams. Basically, if we realized one of our rules would make things either too restrictive and/or unfair and/or less fun, why wouldnt we all just agree to a change. Again, not like money is on the line, this is for fun.Obviously, I see that not everyone is that flexible. I do understand and respect the need to keep rules once you have them - unless everyone agrees it would be better to change the rules. I just did not forsee that if something seemed so much better, some would remain so adamant in their opposition. That is their right though, which is why I have said all along unless everyone agrees, you really can not change things.I now know that some people wont ever bend, and it wont surprise me in the next draft. When the rules are made up, even if 11 out of 12 teams later realize they had an oversite, thats the way it is. Also, I dont know if in the first post we said we would use a third season as a sim. I am sure we all agree the third year certainly changed how some players were drafted. Originally that was not our intent. Not sure why you are confused to be honest, help me out uconn.And when did I suggest a rule change in nba? I dont remember a rules change issue there, but could have forgotten about it.

Joe Morgan's 5 yr avg: .303 - 22 - 85  62 sbs, .432 obp

Damn that guy's a stud. Who's got him?

I didn't realize how much of a stud he truly was until I took a gander at the stats.

Morgan was good. His final average was significantly lower though - did he hang on too long, or have up/down years?

:rotflmao: And Joe Morgan is a STUD. You'd never know it by listening to him on Sunday Night Baseball but the guy could flat out play.

He had some up and down years. But his ups were very, very good.

Just a STUD...SOD IMO. Didn't he go late second round? That's just wrong....put that guy at second base and bat him near the top of the line-up and you'll be tough to beat...

 

[Koya]

For the record, Ruth is getting SO walked in this thing. Please, I will take my chances with McGuire striking out. I like the matchup of my starters against McGuire.Ruth scares the bejeebuz outta me.

Interesting Strategy, I don't think Bob Gibson would take to kindly to that on my squad however, I'll be pitching to Babe.

Tough #### I say. Now, I will pitch to Babe bases empty and all. But he is so unique in his dominance. I mean, if I HAD to get him out, I think my staff would have as good or better shot than anyone, starters through relief. But, if ANYone can hit Lefty Grove or Seaver, it would be Ruth. Lefty I might trust more than Seaver even. Not sure there is anyone other than Ruth that I would say this about, although Bonds would be a fairly close second.

 

[Koya]

Kraft... you actually had a very good point. I will likely throw a few beanball at Babe during the semi intentional walk. I have a few pitchers I think that led the league in hit batsmen.

It is not like we sat around a table, spent hours hashing out specifics of rules, understanding and knowing the consequences.

This is the crux of it. Consequences weren't understood. Also, it wasn't like there were all 16 drafters together at the same time giving input. A lot of people who posted on the original rules thread didn't even end up drafting.Not a problem -- just an observation.

Stud or product of the Cincy system?? Looking at his numbers in Cincy versus his time in Houston its like two different players in almost every category. Very interesting.

Joe Morgan, best 8 consecutive year stretch (based on OPS+)Avg. OBP OPS+292 414 148edit, this stretch basically begins w/ his last year in Houston. I think he matured as a player and hit that groove rather than a system. A System doesnt average almost 150 OPS over 8 straight years.

Some of us brought up the potential pratfalls of the 3rd year only system from the start. How come you werent supporting me THEN?

#1 has to be Gehrig. I'd guess Foxx is 2nd best, so #4. Brouthers is probably one of these, as he is #7 all-time in OPS+.

Correct on Gehrig. Fox is #4 - 178.I suppose there may be multiple candidates for 5, not for 3, unless someone else has 4 straight years at 156. I think #2 is on his own at 170.

Jeff Bagwell slides in here as the #4 1B of all-time, which is about where most experts rank him.Best 8-year stretch: 165.6 OPS+

 

[Koya]

Brouthers is an eye popping 183 (could be 185 or so if you use a year with 300 something PAs).He was very difficult not to draft, but it would have been drafting a lot for numbers as his great accomplishments were very very early in baseball. Hard to judge that era. But, 183 is still pretty damn impressive.

 

[oso diablo]

Sisler at 4.04 is unreal - even better than Bench at 5.04.

To each his own i guess. Sisler was the 52nd player picked, and Bill James ranks him at #24 all-time. That's #24 all-time at 1B, not overall. With Sisler, you get a slap hitter, albeit a darn good slap hitter. But no pop from 1B? When other teams are trotting out Gehrig, Foxx, McGwire, etc?Compare Sisler with a sample of 1B yet to be picked, with OBP/SLG/OPS/OPS+Sisler: 379 / 468 / 847 / 1241B A: 408 / 542 / 951 / 1501B B: 377 / 509 / 886 / 1341B C: 399 / 465 / 864 / 1301B D: 384 / 497 / 880 / 1381B E: 379 / 476 / 854 / 137Note 1B E, with an identical career OBP, but higher SLG. And after adjusting for era (OPS+), 1B E grades out as a better overall threat at the plate. And i would bet the house that 1B E is not picked in this draft.

following up on this, prompted by Koya's post about 1B...1B A = Jeff Bagwell1B B = Fred McGriff1B C = John Olerud1B D = Will Clark1B E = Jack Clark

these are not the top 5 ever, just five of the top ever.However, I would only take Bagwell ahead of maybe one of them, and probably none of them. I know you love Bagwell, but he is simply not on that level for me. 164+ is pretty nice though. I will admit I have gained some respect for Bags over this draft.

3. 148 (4 consecutive 156 years. freaky)

ok, i looked it up, but this is Steady Eddie Murray

Yup. As an Orioles fan, especially when I was very young -, 1977-85, Ed-die was the MAN. Plus, my dad name is Eddie. So at his softball games, he would get the chant. 33 baby. Sisler was one of the guys also. I think only the 170 is left.edit to add: a 156 four years in a row is an impressive statistical anomaly. Back in the days when 30 HRs was a feat. Seems like a different game. :gettingold:

 

[Sammy3469]

I'll guess McGwire though he's probably higher than that.

 

[Koya]

I'll guess McGwire though he's probably higher than that.

Big Mac comes in at a Gehrig like 191.5!

 

[Sammy3469]

Mac's numbers are a little deceptive though since at least one if not two of the years he only played in a handful of games. He could still mash pre-andro though

165 - but he had a few really short seasons not included in this. Surprisingly, never above 172 and only 170+ twice, but very consistent except for his injury years.Greenie played a good 12 or so years. Enough to get a very good idea how good a player he was. Which was very very good.

It's so sad to see baseball nerds eat their own. Has Charlie Hough been drafted yet?

 

[Koya]

Has Charlie Hough been drafted yet?

He is on Nipsey's team.

Sweet. He was my favorite pitcher when I was a youth. I always tried to learn to throw the knuckler.

He is on Nipsey's team.

If he really was on my team I'd start him every game against you. That way i could rest my other starters while I was getting some easy wins.

I have instructed Tom Seaver to only throw the eephus pitch.

Thats awesome. Plus, the other 1B on the list is mentioned in the article. Funny how one crap junk ball pitcher can get one of the best bats ever out, consistently.
