***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Capella
- Start date
adding in that team isn't that bad. If they have fatigue issues they should be fixed as has been said. If not, I mean they beat another team. I think they have 1 more win than all the other dummy teams combined (haven't checked this but off my head). My team has put up double digit runs against "real" teams multiple times. It happens. They subbed some guys in a blowout game and we had an unreal inning.

Tim Laudner is the WORST .191 hitter EVAH!

Mendoza line? I'd be happy if a couple of my career .333 hitters could stay above .100:Cap Anson: .045 (1 for 22)John McGraw: .103 (3 for 29)

Koufax got rocked in the first game. Since then he's had 3 dominating starts. Grove didn't pitch as bad as you make it sound. 4 runs in 7 innings isn't terrible against Hall of Fame players. The fact that I didn't have one left handed hitter in the lineup didn't help him either.It will be better than Koufax! At least your stud pitcher pitches like one. Lefty Grove in this sim sucks. I coulda gone with plan B, drafted Honus Wagner and taken Harry Brecheen in round 25 and been just as good.Thanks. Have fun teeing off on Ryan in the next one.
it is pretty fun. look forward to the box scores and "seeing" how the game played out. managing is also pretty neat. already trying to get Tris his days off against real tough lefties, ect.adding in I see some of our :simfishers: have deadballers w/ as many as 5 starts already,

Fact is, many consider Grove the best lefty ever. 1-3 doesnt cut it! But thats life. I cant complain about being shutdown by Koufax at all.Koufax got rocked in the first game.

I would absolutely be all for it. Now that we all understand WIS, we could have a WIS tourney where we all know what we are getting into. Either let us take the best season of our players (since we already drafted and there are no brady andersons) or let us choose what season, or redraft, Im for it either way.

Spartans and I just had a classic -- a 6-5 victory for him in 12 innings.The Voodoo had bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th with no outs and the score knotted at 5-5. If my team could have gotten any of them home, it would have been ballgame.Tim Raines Ks, George Brett lines out to the pitcher, and Trammell flies out. :X Lolich gives up the winning run in the top of the 12th. 
My bullpen all have ERAs over 6.00 -- except for Dan Plesac, who I can barely use because him pitching 20 pitches renders him unavailable for the next two games.

Looking at the team the imortalizes the esteemed LB and his Lebron drafting side-kick they do need more innings and AB's when Cappy gets around to it. Doesn't bother me at all if I'm the first to be effected by it (still have 3 games left in this series and plenty more the rest of the year as they are in my division). Guys like Kevin Elster (411 AB's w/ a .214 avg) are perfect. On the pitching side I'd just search for pitchers w/ an ERA over a certain point (5 or 5.5 might be a good place to start) and greater than say 200 IP. There should be enough guys to fill out a staff that will get consistantly hammered, but won't be completely worn down (which may or may not have factored in to that 24 run inning...hard for me to tell cuz I can't go in and look at their stamina, but if it is a factor it should be eliminated).adding I know it's a lot of work for something you guys paid for over and above what you had to, but fixing the innings and AB's (while maintaining pretty ####ty teams) would be very cool, .

The other thing is that it's still early. Guys do go into slumps in this thing (Banks, Ernie; Carew, Rod; even Williams, Ted). It will even out over the course of the year.Heck in the OOBP, at the end of April I was on a 10-game losing streak and by Sept 2 I was leading my division.An yes I am pinning my hopes on that, so don't burst my bubble. TIAI'm pretty convinced it makes atleast some adjustments for era. Babe Ruth>Barry Bonds....

Go back about 2 or 3 pages (page 314). Someone was doing one. The results were kind of what I expected.what's going on w/ that? haven't read every post in the thread. is that sim getting done?The other thing is that it's still early.

One of the things I find interesting is that my team has the biggest home-road split in the OOBP. I kind of expected that since my line-up is very good in a hitters park. I'm 20 games over 500 at home and basically 500 on the road. OOBP also says I should start Rijo which I might have to think about doing. They also have Neikro doing well while he's getting shelled in Whatif. Can you correct that John? TIA

I don't think so, but I don't know how it's doing it. I like the results thoughI think it's interesting this sim love modern pitchers. BTW I think the next shoe to drop in the whole ROIDS thing is the number of pitchers using the stuff, but that's for another thread.

UCONN - back after I took worrell, I needed to know where we stood with the rule. At least 5 or 6 times I asked Cap and the crew what defined a reliever and how we should draft. I asked, and asked and asked to ensure I would be working within the rules and not looking for any BS.Vast consensus (and no one said otherwise) was just to draft pitchers and go from there, so that is what I ended up doing - it seemed others had already drafted according to that plan.

A team as good as mine - as defined by any and everyone that knows their baseball - needs no articificial measure of success.We know the balance between on of the top 2-3 pitching staffs (if not the tops) and a top 5 lineup as well. Good D and catchers arms to boot.When you are this great, dont need no 3rd year sims.But, please, pay more attention to me. I am becoming a whore and liking it.like the results. don't worry Koya. I guarantee you can start a poll somewhere where your team will beat mine...Are our line-ups/pitching rotations set over there the same way we've got them here?
original thread said 2 relievers back when we were only going to have 5 pitchers. whatif said 3 and this was mentioned in thread (that it was 10 pitchers w/ 3 relievers). that's how I played it. could see someone mistaking that and only taking 2 "real" relievers, but less than that seems a little fishy to me. oh, well though.
