***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (1 Viewer)

So now the Goodfellas are 4th in batting, 1st in home runs, 6th in runs scored and 5th in stolen bases.I guess I can't ##### about my offense anymore.

 
Luckily, I only gave up TWO bottom of the ninth runs to hold on for a 4-2 win. My bullpen actually came in to save one. I am shocked.

 
If you wanna know why Larry's team is winning (other than using the wrong years), look where he ranks in errors. Stone hands Frank Thomas and company are on pace to commit only 67 errors all season.

One of many critical flaws of wis. When doing a draft FOR wis, you can accept that. But it sucks as a representation of actual reality. I mean, who would you want:

Johnny Mize and Lefty Grove

Frank Thomas and Paul Quantrill.

In this sim, the latter by a LONG shot. Oh, thats realistic.

quite honestly...the biggest issue isn't the sim's programming, its the years that are being used...

The year Thomas is using could be better than the year Mize is using...

Quantrill might have wrong year (still... I'm trying guys), but that year, other than innings, could be better than the year you have Grove with...

See, we aren't talking "greatest players" in this... we're talking "Greatest seasons" and really its third seasons as well...

The next time we do this, we need to have some sort of minimum level of skill/ability... some stat threshold...

and then we get to use ANY year that that player played...

although no one is listening, maybe someone reads this so it has a chance of making try #2 at this a little better than try #1... and that'll be hard to do...

 
We have discussed the seasons issue before. Shoot, I brought it up from the day the discussion of 3rd seasons was mentioned. But alas, no one listened.In Mize's case, he actually has what should be a good year. The ONLY year in Major League history that a player hit 50 HRs w/ less than 50 K's - plus he hit over .300 that year.Either way, the batting doesnt bother me. I know great pitching should beat great hitting and the batter has less control, and will have streaks. Pitchers though should not fluctuate this much. It might simply be that the metrics of some pitchers do not demonstrate their true ability. Maybe Grove for example, played on enough good A's teams that although he has the 2nd best ever adjusted ERA, he could take some chances with leads, so his OAV and WHIP may not be as low as if he had to pitch shutouts every game.I am guessing here because I know this is rooted in metrics... I just cant quite understand how (especially since El Sid has great metrics and = gasoline on a fire)

Season 2 has a rule... whining and crying is allowed in thread only. Anyone that whines and cries to the authorities will have to deal with "Vinny"Honor amongst thieves. Well, in this case, amongst losers. Same idea though.

Why in God's name is Larry still here? I was pissed about my booting from the bus for about 20 minutes, but it's over now. Larry, goodbye.

I am old hat. Lebron was fun, but the fact is, he is SO great - which I obviously realized - that the whole arguement is rendered moot. Nipsey gave up on that one, and congratulated me on my brilliant forsight and GM skills. Once Bob Pettit was drafted a slot ahead of me, I took lemons, and made golden showers. (thats what we call lemonade in these parts. f'n sickos)

Sounds good. Question for you. You're in a vintage NBA draft and it's early, say the 3rd round. The thought of drafting a member of the Phoenix Suns crosses your mind. What is the name of that player?
 
Koya, You do realize you destroyed that NBA draft. Not something to brag about. Shawn Marion was selected in the 3rd round...that was bad enough. I passed that off on stupidity. For you to draft Lebron where you did was shameful.

Steve Nash of course.
 
As previously stated, whatever 2nd season draft we do, with whomever at the helm... harrier, nips, capella... I and Lebron are both IN.

Dont make me set up a poll. I would STILL take Lebron over Chuck "his mouth was better than his game" Barkley. His game was pretty good too.. but oh, that mouth.Again, not as a better NBA player, but hell yeah for a pickup team with both in their primes!

I'll set up a poll for you. You won't like the results. Again, you should be ashamed.
 
Does drafting Lebron James in the second round of an ALL-TIME NBA draft constitute a mockery? Yes [ 0 ] [0.00%] No [ 0 ] [0.00%] Koya Sucks [ 3 ] [100.00%] Total Votes: 3 :own3d:

That's a great question Funkley, and I'm glad you asked it.While rampaging through the West the Suns have been called many things. Great. Unstoppable. Juggernaut. So it is understandable when people confuse a team's greatness with individual greatness.

However, at this time, there are not any Suns players that I would consider drafting in a vintage NBA draft. This question can be raised again in 15-20 years and I may change my vote considering the performance of a few players over recent years has been exceptional.

Also, with regards to Shawn Marion, I'm deeply disturbed by any NBA player who doesn't raise the ball above chin level when he shoots a jumpshot.

The more you bring it up, the more your love affair with me is apparant. Now I know why you wish I were gay. Sadly for you, and luckily for me - I aint.
 
I think any FFA vote should be postponed until season II when we have a full 24 team league(free or cheaters).

Why? no reason we cant vote on the teams that we have. Again, the FFA and other voting places (baseball forums) would be as good a gauge as wis.
