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

[Koya]

How come we dont have any outside "expert" commentary on this, like we did in NBA? Maybe we can get back to fighting about players, and not rules, sims, and statistical anomalies.

 

[Koya]

As Oso said, If Roy Halladay or Barry Zito retired right now, they'd have careers of a similar length and not nearly as good as Pfiester, the guy with the #3 ERA ALL TIME.  Does that mean in 100 years no one should pick them?

just to be clear... the comparison to Zito/Halladay includes their relative levels of performace. Similar ERA+.

I thought Pfiester was #39 ERA+. Are Zito and Halladay really that high? Wow

They are right now. Keep in mind, as a pitcher ages, their ERA will almost always go down. As is usually the case with batting average for offensive players. depends how long the guy hangs around when he cant hack it anymore.

 

[Sammy3469]

Yeah ...how did a 2-time MVP fall to the 13th round? Thanks sim -ers

Figured Red would weigh in with some mid point opinions by now. Ferris, Drifter and Fatguy must not be into baseball as much.

keep in mind, we're only halfway done and this thread is 40 pages longer than the hoops draft..if you haven't been involved from the start, you probably aren't going to be at any point.

hopefully someone will want to take a look at rosters and/or lineups at some point. call it preseason.

 

[Koya]

oh god please say no.

 

[Nipsey]

Yeah ...how did a 2-time MVP fall to the 13th round? Thanks sim -ers

Thanks for the propers. Juan Gone's going to be a nice guy to have in pinch hitting situations.

 

[Koya]

we are almost at a hundred pages for me... finally.

Seems like especially with power pitchers, this is becoming less true for the good ones...witness schill, randy, clemens, etc.

Modern conditioning and Tommy John surgery. Amazing how many pitchers have had elbow reconstruction in either high school or college.

I totally agree...it's amazing how many of the old guys were hurt and kept pitching.That and they aren't as overworked as youngsters (start Dusty Baker )

Nights kinda suck for me, what with diapers and story time and giving my wife a break from child care for a few hours.I must say that there is a sudden rush after business hours -- been that way the past few nights.

Wahoo Sam Crawford. One of the first great sluggers.

OF, LH

1899-1917

Crawford was one of the best sluggers of his era, hands down. Crawford retired as the American League career leader in home runs, extra-base hits, total bases, RBI, and triples. From 1910 to 1915 (when he was 30-35 years old), Sam led the AL in games played, total bases, RBI, extra-base hits, and triples. He was second in homers and hits, third in runs created, fourth in slugging, and batted .320 for that six-year stretch. He ranked that high while Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Home Run Baker, and Joe Jackson were in their prime. His total of 643 RBI from 1910-1915 were 118 more than his closest rival in the American League! Somehow however, it took a campaign by Cobb to get his teammate into the Hall of Fame.

Full stats coming

 

[oso diablo]

I thought Pfiester was #39 ERA+. Are Zito and Halladay really that high? Wow

Pfiester - 127Zito - 132Halladay - 122i split the difference with two current, ineligible pitchers with a similar # of Wins.

 

[Koya]

PS ... was Wahoo Sam already taken? I didnt see it, but it was very hard to follow, to say the least.

I don't think so. He was on my short list very recently. Very nice value here.
