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

and I drafted dedicated middle relievers with specialist roles (long, middle, RH setup, LH setup, etc.). Didn't seem to help much -- when my starters went 8+ innings, my team cruised. When we had to go to the pen, we got shelled, and couldn't get the bleeding stopped.
poor Nipsey. :own3d:
Well, I don't know if Nipsey is right or wrong. I've only got the ten free games to go by as a sample. And maybe I just picked the wrong relievers. Don't know for sure.
What happens after you sim your free team? Do you lose access to the draft center? Was worried about that so I haven't simmed a team yet.
If you don't mind having an extra e-mail address just go to yahoo or something, make another e-mail that you'll never use, and sign up again w/ that.

Good move. You do, in fact, lose access to the draft center after you draft your team.

Really shouldnt mention names especially of a player that might go in the next few rounds.
 
depending on how his sim takes these numbers into account, he could kick the crap out of some of our teams using modern hitters.
After playing around with Whatif's sim matchup, I'm pretty sure they don't adjust numbers for eras even the slightest bit.Which is why I stopped caring about the sim awhile ago.
really? so Chuck Klein grades out as more valuable than, say Reggie Jackson or Willie Stargell, just to take one example?Or, Rube Waddell, with his 2.16 ERA in the height of the dead-ball era is more valuable than, say, Lefty Grove, who had a 3.06 ERA in the height of the offensive explosion of late 20s / early 30s?Maybe those extreme examples don't turn out to be true in the sim, but not adjusting for era is silly when it comes to baseball.
I've played the sims..it DOES NOT just take best stats into account..I don't know how they do, they just do.It's far deeper than Spartans seems to give it credit for.Seriously.
From everything I have heard/read, Cap is right.C. Kleins numbers will hurt, especially in the wrong park. Mike Piazza's will suffer from his era, but will be greatly helped by his ball park. Gibsons miracle season will still be great, but it will be great in the context of a great pitching year. This is what I understand it to be... I have no idea how it actually plays out.
After playing with Sim Matchup and tracking stats of a couple choice players, I'm confident it doesn't adjust for eras or parks.I suppose it's possible that Sim Matchup is different than a Sim League, since era adjustment pretty much happens automatically when its just two teams going head-to-head.However the Sim League salaries don't seem to reflect any era adjustment either.

XXXXX is a stud. He is always being mentioned, doesn't matter the sport.

cheap ******* couldn't pony up the 10 bones.we should've held a collection.

 
To give LB his props Santo was the guy I had slotted for 3B. Wasn't going to take him w/ this pick, but was hoping he'd be the guy I got. Missing out on him and Clemente are my two biggest disapointments of the draft (and obviously Banks, but I knew I wasn't going to get him).

Yup. He deserves credit for taking two good players here.

I like both picks as well. esp Winfield. Under-rated numbers IMO.

Winfield was killed by his era. Very few from that time will be put on par with the uber elites.. and the big ball parks and pre Steroids and pre real modern conditioning make the offensive numbers pale to what guys are doing now - only 20 years later.Winfield today would have unreal numbers, and still a decent glove in the outfield. I like the pick and he was certainly on my list.

Thanks for the list. We might finish this next week...I would think pm'ing picks in will get easier as the positions you need to fill up become more clear.edited to add a couple rounds a day the next couple days (bout 15 rounds done)...then 2 a day every day next week and we'd be done (this is w/out any weekend picks).

next week?
I think so...lets say we finish this round today. 2 a day tommorrow and Friday (bringing us through 14). 2 a day everyday next week and we'd be through 24...make it a "Furious Friday" and get through 3 instead of 2 and we'd be done unless my math is wrong.edited to add meaning done w/ the draft of course...not the tourney/sim.

considering we just went about 6 hours with no picks, I don't share your optimism.

LOL if my fantasy football drafts are any indication, the picks take longer as the draft progresses as people have no idea who to take.
