:revolt:haha. Heck, I will do more sims, other sims. The states intent of the draft was to get the best players. We did the sim as some objective way to judge. if the objective measure we thought was best is f'd up, then maybe there are better ones out there. Im game for anything. I committed to this sim, so work or not Im in. But I am open to other ways to judge our teams. People do need to relax a little.. it is a freaking on line draft.I came to peace with this awhile ago.I don't care if our sim can actually resurrect the dead and play games, or if the sim is no better than hitting marbles with baseball cards. Either way, its supposed to be secondary, and no matter how accurate or inaccurate it is someone will ##### that they got screwed over. Such is life.Let's just pick some players that we think are good.
How much money do you get for winning this thing again?Don't kid yourself. People have been sim fishing for 6 rounds. John McGraw? In the HOF only has a manager, only had a few good years. Hugh Jennings? Bill Joyce? Frank Thomas? Larry Walker? The list goes on for a while...Lots of pitchers on it, too.But I'm just looking to build the best team possible. I don't see how those stats are going to hurt me in the FFA. That was 5 years of excellence, not 3.
Hard to argue with a guy who had five years of excellence as being a flash in the pan.

Career basically equivalent to Roy Halladay or Barry Zito, presuming they never throw another pitch.71 wins = Britt Burns + 1
Mr. Pickles
Footballguy
can i pencil him in for your next pick?
Mr. Pickles
Footballguy
i see. but you take a "reliever" who pitched just beyond 1900? i want to be clear.

John McGraw has more career runs scored than Jack Pfiester has innings pitched! 
Don't even try to pull me down to your level!
Mr. Pickles
Footballguy
Nichols is fine, thanks.. but he's also a top pitcher regardless of era. This isn't disputed.

No (well, Burns was mediocre), they don't suck, and neither did Pfiester. Just an extremely short career. Unless he died young or something, or missed time due to a war or discrimination, that's an important point in an all-time draft.
he's a starter. I'm just going to be using him as a reliever. I wasn't trying to say he was one during his career.And yeah, I have held to 1900 as the dividing line. Pfiester pitched from 1906-1911, which is pretty far past that line, and right in line with Walter Johnson (just after), Christy Mathewson, and all those guys.
No, there's just a difference between an error in grammar and a typo. See, when I typed 1985, I meant to type 1885. But when you type something like "you're argument," you don't know that you're typing something wrong. I'd attribute it to your education, but there might be other underlying causes.1985???hmm..guess that doesn't count as a grammar error..just a factual error, which is good, because, you know, grammar errors piss you off so much.

Things i've learned following this thread...
Who Bill Joyce is
That Nipsey can be funny (and he can draw)
That it's possible to find a less satisfying evaluative method than a FFA Poll
Hurley is not that guy's real name

McGraw played in 7 full seasons before going part time to manage. There is no difference whatsoever.McGrawI should note, he did play in lots of mini-partial season, if you want to count those.

riiiight..because in a rush, while at work, it's too hard to imagine that I may not have typed a word or two wrong. I may have meant one thing, but typed another. Completely different than a factual error.No, there's just a difference between an error in grammar and a typo. See, when I typed 1985, I meant to type 1885.

I'll thank you for finding my two grammar errors in the 15,000 words I've typed in this thread. Speaking of educations, knowing nothing more about you other than what I've sadly had to witness in this thread, I'll assume I have more of it.

man, what was the deal back then? must have been more $ in managing than actually playing.

McGraw ranks 53rd in career stolen bases. Does Pfeister crack to top 1000 in anything?McGraw played in 7 full seasons before going part time to manage. There is no difference whatsoever.McGraw
Well, he's #3 All-Time ERA, so there is that. Also #39 Adjusted ERA+.Don't get your panties in a bundle. I picked Bill Joyce, that's no better than McGraw.McGraw ranks 53rd in career stolen bases.

I had never even heard of Joyce. How did you find him? I found McGraw because I looked at every player who stole 400 career SB or more because I'm building my team around running.Well, he's #3 All-Time ERA, so there is that.Don't get your panties in a bundle.

Doug B up? Not sure actually.

McGraw left the Cardinals in 1901 to join up with the newly-formed AL, managing his old team, the Orioles.McGraw played 69 games at 3B that year, and put up an OPS of 995, with an OB% of 508.
So, why does Manager McGraw bench Player McGraw in favor of some guy named Jack Dunn and his 596 OPS?Interesting PS: the next season, 1902, McGraw jumped ship back to the NL, to the NY Giants, taking about half of the Orioles team with him. Some guy named Billy Lauder (OPS = 540) played 3B. McGraw was only 29 then, so it wasn't like he was washed up. Strange.
