***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Capella
- Start date
I'm assuming the 1887-1901 who pitched and hit.BTW I think we've gotten to the point in the draft where there are guys who I've never heard of coming off the board.

The problem seems to be that there are day drafters, and there are night drafters. Also a few that come on a little both day and night.Earlier on, it seemed like we were hitting the night drafters and the day folks at just the right time. But now, it's all out of sync -- it's daytime, and a night drafter (grad student mrharrier) is up. This has happened to Spartans a few times, too -- he'd be the first pick of the day, even though he doesn't come on until after noon.

Win Shares sent to Koya, Bogart, trefor3, and the cheese rapist.

You guys think you can wrap this thing up today?

Mr. +EV
Mickey Tettleton is gone - but Darren Daulton remains unpicked? :(

Well, the database/spreadsheet won't tell you much other than the Win Shares for each player/season and the player names are in the format used by the Lahman database so it isn't exactly user friendly for someone just interested in browsing through it.You also don't get the stats or calculations. You may want to buy the book anyway - although there are a bunch of online resources you can use to read about the methodology for free. Just Google it.

By the way, sent you an email about GDR. Interested to hear your thoughts on that. Saw the thread at RJ.
Bogart
Footballguy
On the surface GDR is a TON to take in, I'm reading the manual at lunch today to try and take it all in, but my initial take is that it's amazing. The idea of a blind auction over the internet taking several weeks is way out there, but really fun.I will let you know how it progresses. Doing the "beta" mock draft, so looking for bugs, but so far its pretty smooth.By the way, sent you an email about GDR. Interested to hear your thoughts on that. Saw the thread at RJ.

I don't see him picked:
Wally Berger
Probably better than Hack Wilson, and with a very similar career. Only played 11 seasons.

Wow. I love your post 1994 team. Gibson at C is amazing in that lineup.Gracias.
Thanks - we'll see how kindly the sim is to me. Its scary to match up the post 94 pitchers against some of the alltime staffs. :X

I was reading the formula for win shares online and I was wondering if the really good players on bad teams get screwed by it? Like when A-Rod was in Texas, did his win share numbers stink? 
Giant Wooden Badger
the Beav
Nah, I wouldn't say his team is the worst. I'd say they're all pretty damn strong. I just totalled the number of Win Shares for each player's 2nd highest Win Share season (since that's how we're determining the season to use) and posted the results.Results were:1) oso diablo: 5332) GWB: 5003) trefor3: 460Keep in mind that I didn't include the Negro League guys - no Win Shares available for them - and that the Win Shares do include defense so some of our guys could have inflated totals for their glove.Guess you guys missed the post about how he had the fewest combined Win Shares out of the three of usI too am really inpressed with your 1994 team, should be really tough.I <3 Josh Gibson.Wow.

Giant Wooden Badger

I don't think so. I think he would have had a similar number of Win Shares even if he had been with a good team. He was just responsible for a larger percentage of the teams wins than he would have been on a better team.At least, that's how I think it should work.Guess you guys missed the post about how he had the fewest combined Win Shares out of the three of usI too am really inpressed with your 1994 team, should be really tough.I <3 Josh Gibson.Wow.

Well, with any other backdrop than reality (such as what you are going through... best of luck, wish words could do more), we are doing terribly. About 5 picks a day. Add in the usual Koya-Nipsey love-hate fests, arguing over rules, having people in the thread 2 min before they pick and then disappearing for hours on end, well - its an FFA draft.Guy who was basically my dad growing up is in very bad shape.

I finally finished this entire thread. I also went out and bought Bill James Historical Abstract yesterday thanks to this thread. Really got me back into thinking about baseball history, which I had kind of gotten away from.So, I guess, Thanks.Also best wishes to UCONN. Good luck man.

Yes.

I think I remember him being drafted awhile ago. Could be wrong.
