***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (3 Viewers)

[Nipsey]

It's different because it's not the league we started. You can throw in 50 other teams if you want, but unless it's just the original 16 (and dummy teams), the result will not be clean. We can not have hijackers winning the drafts of the threads they hijack. Sets an incredibly bad precedent for future drafts.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

But at least we can determine a winner of our own draft even with the dummy teams involved.  If the hijackers are let in, then it's not a clean result IMO.

How is it any different?By the way, when is your rehearsal with Joey Fatone?

We can not have hijackers winning the drafts of the threads they hijack. Sets an incredibly bad precedent for future drafts.No rehearsals. I'm a professional.

That doesn't even make any sense. Our teams have no chance. We just don't have the stats to compete. And besides, it makes no difference if you're competing against our teams or dummy teams. It's the same thing.Seriously, if a dummy team wins or if one of our teams miraculously wins, how is it different?Unless you're going to populate the dummy teams with scrubs, there is no difference.Are you implying that Joey Fatone is not a professional?

Please. Not even close.

The dummy teams are inserted for competetion only. By rule, they cannot win.

You're right, it's not.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

You're mistaken.The dummy teams are there because a certain number of teams HAVE to be in the league. It is possible that they could win. It ain't likely, but it's possible.Wrong again, chief.

Fake teams cannot "win".

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Fake teams cannot "win".

Why not?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Fake teams can't win. You can't win either. I've already won.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Fake teams can't win. You can't win either. I've already won.

Is there something in the setup that prevents them from winning? If so, I stand corrected.I don't dispute that you've already won, Mr. P.

 

[Nipsey]

Fake teams can't win. You can't win either. I've already won.

If you've already won then Koya was right in trying to tank the draft with the Bubbles Hargrave pick.

Better start making some sense. Or at least make me laugh. Option 3 is a plate of ribs.

 

[Bogart]

This pick reeks of homerism, but when your great uncle is in the Baseball Hall of Fame and you don't pick him, there will be trouble at the dinner table.

So for my last pick, and my team's namesake I give you, my uncle:

Walter James Vincent "Rabbit" Maranville - SS/2B

Rabbit will not be asked to hit much, although he is 19th All-Time in Triples (177) and 11th All-Time in Sac Hits (300), but this pick is all about defense. Maranville stands first among all shortstops in putouts (5,139), third in assists (7,354), and second in total chances (13,124). He was also a top fielder at second base.

Nicknamed for his speed and rabbit-like leaps, he was always a superior fielder, famous for his unique basket catch of high infield flies. Consistency was his hallmark and greatest virtue. During his first tour with Boston, he led NL shortstops in putouts each year from 1914 to 1919 (except for 1918, which he spent in the Navy), assists twice, double plays three times, and fielding average once.

23 total seasons in baseball, all the while fighting alcohol and a stint in the Navy. (Side note: he got a 10 day pass from the Navy in 1918 where he played 11 games and hit 0.318. before going back to sea.)

Bubbles should have alerted you to the fact that the fix was in. If that doesn't make sense to you, you'll never see the elaborate trap Koya's laid on us (you imparticular). Godspeed.

I'll take my favorite player growing up... and a tragedy in his own right.

OF Darryl Strawberry

 

[Koya]

My 25th Round pick will also be a homer pick - but a homer pick that fills a need very well. I wont be winning many win shares or HoF points with the choice, but a lefty off the bench that has these career numbers:

4th Career Hits/9 Innings

13th Highest K's/9 Innings

53rd Highest WHIP

One of my all time favorite Mets - if only games were 6 innings long, top 10 CY vote getter and two time All Star and the perfect guy to get a strike out with a man on second, late in a game...

El Sid. Sid Fernandez. LHP

3.36 ERA

8.4 Ks/9

6.85 Hits/9 Inn

10.30 WHIP

There are better picthers out there, but not a better pitcher (lefty at that) at getting guys out, and getting a strike out. Perfect for late game situations.

Additional accomplishments:

2x All Star

2x Top 10 ERA

3x Top 5 WHIP (53 Career Overall)

3x Hits/9Inn Leader - 6x Top 4

1x K's/9 Inn Leader - 5 Times top 2! (6 times top 3)
