i'll take your spot, despite the sub-optimal 1st round pick.He's the guy that won't sack up and actually participate in one of these drafts because he's afraid of being judged. He'll sit back and take pot shots from a safe distance at your team though. What a joy.....
Nice try. Wait until the guy you want gets picked, then try and take that particular team. That won't fly here....i'll take your spot, despite the sub-optimal 1st round pick.He's the guy that won't sack up and actually participate in one of these drafts because he's afraid of being judged.

this is really still an issue? if I buried anyone, it was my team during voting. everyone else could and did stand on their own.Im on the permanant Nipsey drafting #### list... I could have picked Ruth 1.7 and you would have found fault.
PS... you talk about selective, I said pick a 3, 5, 7, 9 year period - so dont selectively change that to only 3. It is not fair and you are basing your conclusions on false "facts"

I am basing it on a guys entire career. Cy Young had a much longer career. Grove had a shorter MLB career - although he used his dominance to school other higher paying leagues at the time.Do you not think 7 consecutive years doing something, or doing something 7 of 9 years in a row is not worthy of mention? It shows great consistency over a long period.And yes, there is something to be said for doing something for a very very long period of time... and being very good for most/all of that time, too.But yeesh, 7 or 9 years is talking about a guys prime career... if people think that is taking "liberties" let me know... and if you want career, I gave you career stats too. ERA, Winning %.... along with wins and others. Not sure why you have to hone in on this.
Guys..We now have a thread for this slap fest. Please go there. TIA.
. This is from this site.I personally don't think any of these pitchers would fare that well against any of these line-ups, but it will be interesting to see in the sim.
only your teams, pretty much, as it turns out.
p.s. offer stands. would give you a chance to turn the tables.
Note: I tried creating a poll on it, but because I'm an insignificant puke compared to Pickles, it obviously didn't work.
:rotflmao: You're gaining momentum..
In my world, what I'm doing would be called "Hulking up"."WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER, WHEN LASTRESORTMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOOOOOOU!!!???"(I live in a f'ed up world. It's called Missouri.):rotflmao: You're gaining momentum..
If you really want to know they are right, we should talk about this in another thread.. namely the rules thread.you know there will be players that had GREAT 8, 10, 12 year periods, but had a poor end to a career or something. how will people judge those players? I contest that 7+ straight years is a good barameter for any player, although 10+ from position players. that's just me. Eitherway, a player needs a decade of work, but if they stick around too long and lose 25 pts on their batting average, Im not going to hold that against that player. What represents who a player is, in my opinion, is to look at their whole career, but within context (ie a Koufax. only a 5 year peak. but what a peak! or any number of position players not yet drafted.. and pitchers alike... that had periods of unbelievable play but may have dropped off, or retired - gone to war. )Then what the hell are you #####ing about?
I figued it would, once all the chowder escaped from your brain cavity so you can make an intellegent thought for the first time tonight.
What's so hard about the word "career"?If you really want to know they are right, we should talk about this in another thread.. namely the rules thread.you know there will be players that had GREAT 8, 10, 12 year periods, but had a poor end to a career or something. how will people judge those players?

I don't want this to be 110 pages of bickering about a couple of dead guys..IN ROUND 1
Finally, something that will rival the Best Hooters thread.
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: great job you did there our great, and powerful fearless leader... GREAT JOB!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:ahhhh ####, I just realized I had Funkley's pick.He takes Ty Cobb. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: sorry
