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

[Koya]

Gwynn is an interesting pick... perhaps he has a great third salary year (but I kid! sorta.). Did not know where he would fall. What an amazing stroke though.I really like the Simmons choice - a player I should know more about. How consitent was he aside from that awesome peak?

Gwynn had one of the most consistant careers of anybody ever. Don't bring up that bull#### of "3rd salary year" everytime a guy gets picked you don't like. Whose up? Draft good guys and you'll do fine.

UCONN... I was being a bit sarcastic there. My Apologies.

 

[UCONN]

Cappy then Nipsey then I've got Sammy's.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Mel Ott-gate

 

[Doug B]

In retrospect, perhaps the specific website hosting the sim should have been kept secret or undetermined until after the draft.

wait... there is more than 1?? I thought whatifsports was pretty much it...

I have found at least one other one.

 

[Koya]

No, I'm confused as to what we're doing here.

You may be more competitive than a "for fun" draft requires one to be. Seems like you want to win really bad. Some here just want to draft and shoot the bull about baseball.Not saying you're wrong ... just saying it might be ruining your enjoyment.

exactlyif people are scurrying over to WIS to see how a guy's third year compares to somebody else, they're missing the boat on the whole idea.

I want to shoot the #### about baseball, learn some new things and have a good time. The sim was my damn idea and I haven't even looked at it yet.

,S

thanks cap. im in here for good talk about dead baseball players. not about stastical quirks of one websites matrices.

I'd like to have a decent team for the sim, yes. Because you don't want to take it seriously, you get to mock me for not being you?

Nipsey -- clearly I wasn't mocking you. I said your approach wasn't wrong, and I meant it..

My approach in wanting to clarify the rules of a draft that I'm going to be spening the next two months on? What's the problem here?

It just gets old. I don't know why people want to turn into lawyers instead of just have fun in these things. You think I picked Sabonis cuz I thought he'd get me votes?

 

[Capella]

A nice compromise might be to allow any season from 3rd on down. That way, if someone needs to drop down to a guy's fourth or fifth year to ensure a given position is covered, it is an option.

I suppose we can take this into consideration. I never thought people (nipsey) would struggle so mightly with this.But then what happens if we accept that, and then nipsey's next question is "_____ plays that position I want in his 4th year, but his offensive stats aren't as good? WHAT DO I DO THEN?"

 

[Koya]

Mel Ott-gate

This could supercede Lebron Gate in scope, easily. That was one on one, this could spread like wildfire.

then you take his worse offensive stats...could you chat with the guy you knew or whatever at WIS.com and see what they say about multiple positions though?

Taking it too seriously and defining the rules up front, are two different things.

I think they go hand-in-hand. The more seriously you take it, the more you want the rules clarified -- the better to seek some kind of an edge.Nothing wrong with that, I stress. But not everyone wants the rules honed down that much.

its too late to change now, but in the future... if there is a future... maybe say no better than the 3rd season, which gives us the same effect of no bradys, but also a bit more flexibility to make it more reflective of that players abilities.

I simply want to draft guys at their natural position and not be penalized for it. That's all. You guys are the ones making this tough, not me.

[Doug B]

Nipsey, another way to look at it:

Hypothetically -- would you be willing to trade 10% of your team's quality to double the fun of participating in this draft?

The guys we're picking are all-time greats. So they're out of position a little bit. So their value is nicked a few percentage points. I feel safe in saying that playing Mel Ott in the outfield (for example) will not turn him into a career AA guy.

Im sorry cap. Honestly, you are doin an admirable job. It would be better for everyone to see this as a fun activity and not have rules that will be SO set in stone... seeing as we do not even know the details of what we are getting into!.But thats ok. This is a freaking online message board draft. Its not for money. So cant we just all agree to pick the best teams, and then find a good fair way for all, to sim it out, since we liked that idea.

I'm assuming your e-mailing with the guy... or at least I was assuming that...So, did you shoot him an e-mail? Are you going to? I'm not trying to be dumb... I just know people have questions that should be answerable... are you going to try and get them answered?

Let's just ####### pick. Isn't it enough you guys made the NBA draft a nightmare for me to get through? Do you have to do the same to Cappy? The rules are in the first post.

If guys want to do it like that, fine. It just seemed overly restrictive to me and didn't jive with the spirit of the draft. I didn't mean to turn it into something big, just wanted clarification and got riled up because UConn decided to use my question (a simple question) and get all holier-than-though with me.I apologize to anyone offended, but wanting to be clear on the rules, I did not think was a hanging offense.

I could care less Nips. Just a bad aftertaste from the NBA draft and I was hoping Cappy didn't have to go through the same stuff. Guess I just take a different approach than some people. Cappy's a big boy. He can have fun w/ all the nitpicking rules questions for the rest of the draft by himself.

actually, that is not so true, but that top layer is done. then again, Bench should have gone before piazza as well.

I've got Sammy's pick after Nipsey makes his. If you're coming up stick around if you can.

Mike Piazza? Better with the glove.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Piazza consistently grades out as a B+ fielder with A+ range. Bench grades out as a A-/B+ fielder with B+ range. I'd take Piazza every time.

 

[UCONN]

BOB FELLER

No write-up.

Excellent pick. I really wish you guys would stop taking pitchers now, .Sammy takes Ed Delahanty...primarily an OF. He'll do any write-up when he gets back.

Yeah, but you get Piazza at first base, not at catcher.

I need an arm (particularly a lefty) and am going with Whitey Ford.

God, I seem like a Yankees homer.

DAMMMMMMMMMMMIT. How did he last THIS long. It was between he and Seaver way back when.Great value. And yeah, some people are going to have no pitching staff but I didnt say anything cause I hoped Feller would fall.

If guys want to do it like that, fine. It just seemed overly restrictive to me and didn't jive with the spirit of the draft. I didn't mean to turn it into something big, just wanted clarification and got riled up because UConn decided to use my question (a simple question) and get all holier-than-though with me.I apologize to anyone offended, but wanting to be clear on the rules, I did not think was a hanging offense.

I could care less Nips. Just a bad aftertaste from the NBA draft and I was hoping Cappy didn't have to go through the same stuff. Guess I just take a different approach than some people. Cappy's a big boy. He can have fun w/ all the nitpicking rules questions for the rest of the draft by himself.

Thanks for staying out of it.

I aim to please. Nice pick w/ Feller. My short list is getting destroyed.edited to add and pickles just took another name off of it....####.

I'm taking Johnny Bench, greatest catcher ever, not up for debate.

Mike Piazza? Better with the glove.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Piazza consistently grades out as a B+ fielder with A+ range. Bench grades out as a A-/B+ fielder with B+ range. I'd take Piazza every time.

Yeah, but you get Piazza at first base, not at catcher.

grades out how? on some sim league or in the realities of baseball? what are your grades. if they are the grades from what if sports, while meaningful in the sim, that is certainly no bible on reality in and of itself. Bench was better and I am a BIG Piazza fan, as a Mets fan.
