***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (1 Viewer)

[10993]

Harrier comes in and views most players objectively (I like looking for sabermetric stats type arguement)

Thanks for this. I have made clear that this entire draft that I have picked guys based on OBP, OPS, ERA, and WHIP. I haven't paid any attention to era, and I've picked only based on stats, not on legend. Other people may not have wanted to do this, and that's fine, but calling it simfishing to pick baseball players based on their stats is pretty ridiculous. The only simfishing I did was picking Les Lancaster. And that I've admitted to the entire time.

Pfiester?

All-time career #3 ERA. Didn't just have one good year. Like I said, I picked based on stats.

Dude won 71 whole games.

Yup. Short, but brilliant career.

Kinda like the relevant part of Koufax's career.

Wouldn't like him in the first round, like Koufax. Clearly not on his level. Was a steal in the 13th, though.

Ah yes, compare Pfiester to another pick that was highly questioned when he was taken. That'll add credibility to your argument!

I'm fine with Pfiester being compared with Koufax.

:rotflmao:

A nutshell comparrison

League ERA leader:

Koufax - 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966

Pfiester - 1907

League Wins leader:

Koufax - 1963, 1965, 1966

Pfiester - NONE

League Strikeouts leader:

Koufax - 1961, 1963, 1965, 1966

Pfiester - NONE

I must have missed the part where I said Pfiester was as good as Koufax. I like Pfiester in the 13th a lot more than Koufax with the 2nd pick, that's for sure.

You didn't say he was as good as Koufax. You said his career was "Kinda like the relevant part of Koufax's career." Well during the "relevant part" of his career Koufax led the league in numerous categories numerous times. Your brilliant pitcher led the league in one category one time. Not only is it a reach to compare Pfiester to the "relevant part" of Koufax's career, but I even admitted I took Koufax entirely for sim purposes. Go back to pages 2 and 3 of this thread for proof. You have essentially provided wieght to the argument that Pfiester is a simfished pick.

Apparently you look at things very differently than I do. I won't comment on what else is apparent from your posts.

I picked Pfiester for his stats, not the least of which includes his ALL-TIME (not third year) #3 career ERA. If you don't like that, you can go f**k yourself, but I'm done talking about it.

Mr. Sensitive 2005 dark horse.

Wouldn't want to steal your only title out from under you.

Pfiester is the anti-Keefe.

 

[UCONN]

Wow. Lots of animosity in here. Did I miss something? Wasn't paying attention to the thread this afternoon... For Drifter and others that follow along I'm gonna post standings/stats every 10 games. That's roughly 1/16 of the season or the same as 1 game in the NFL. Should be enough to keep ya'll informed but not so much as to get annoying.

 

[Doug B]

Crap -- Spartans is kicking my tail up and down the street.Raines got a brief second chance, but I need a better BA at the top of the order. Siddown, Rock!

Musial kept his hitting streak alive. I think he's the only guy in the league w/ a hit in every game.

 

[Bogart]

Did someone turn fatigue off?? All of my guys have been showing 100 percent after every game, including pitchers.Plus, I put Henderson in the number eight spot last night and he was hitting leadoff for the afternoon game.But I won 15-4, so all is forgiven for now.....

my pitchers are showing that, but I'm sticking to my regular rotation (5 man rotation w/ plenty of true relievers in the pen).As far as the Henderson thing maybe you changed say your vs rhp line-up and didn't change your vs lhp line-up and ended up facing different ones in both games...that would be my first guess.

yep, thought I did the switch for both lineups but it only took for one.Still doesn't explain why none of my guys are tiring...... BALCO????

I simmed that game this morning 10 times and went 7-3. The real game I lose 15-4. Amazing.

 

[Nipsey]

Scored in every inning biatches...

Now I know why you guys have those great records....BRING IT ON.

 

[UCONN]

I don't have an everyday starter in my next game. Went w/ all the guys w/ the fewest ab's. Some of them get playing time, but all the guys who are everyday guys are sitting. Mickey Tettleton is in the outfield. Really pleased w/ the way some of my bench has performed so giving them a reward vs a weak team and resting Tris, Mickey, Ralph, Arky, Jackie at the same time.

 

[larry_boy_44]

you let them score 2 runs on you?? :rotflmao:

 

[UCONN]

The thing that kills those teams is they don't have the pitching/innings to get through this. They get a starter knocked out early and then all hell has the potential to break loose when they're forced to pitch a reliever for 120 pitches. Run a search for guys who hit .230 or less w/ 350 or more AB's and for pitchers w/ an ERA of 6.00 or more and 200 or more IP'd. That'd make those teams doormats, but would make the 38-2 games less likely. If they pull off an upset and beat your team oh well.

 

[Koya]

ouch, a heartbreaking bottom of the 11th loss to spock - and my first 3 game skid of the season. tough sleddin I tell ya.

 

[Doug B]

Did someone turn fatigue off?? All of my guys have been showing 100 percent after every game, including pitchers.

WIS FAQ covers this question. Basically, it's not unusual for players to show some fatigue early in the season after high-scoring games, and then for that fatigue to more or less go away as time goes on.All my batters pretty much stay at 100% except for Trammell, who dips into the mid-90s pretty often (he has the fewest AB of any of my starters except my Cs).Dan Plesac, who pitched only 62 innings in his third salary year, can hardly be used in back-to-back games though he was a closer in real life. He drops down into the 40s after 20 pitches or so. I now have him set to come out of the game after approx. 15 pitches, even though his ERA is 0.00 and I can use the decent relief pitching (rest of the RPs ERAs are over 6.00).

hitters, I'm not too worried about, but everyone of my starters show at 100 percent, even right after their start. In the beginning, I would get a number in red (ie 52(100)) showing the pitcher would be at 52 percent the next game, but 100 percent the game after that. Right now, every pitcher is at 100 no matter when they pitched.

 

[Koya]

also that arguement holds true in spirit. atleast a guy like Harrier comes in and views most players objectively (I like looking for sabermetric stats type arguement) where as you constantly pimp (and criticize other guys) your guys using different standards. For the guys w/out the numbers it is what some sportswriter said or their "potential". For the guys w/ the numbers it's a side-by-side statistical comparison. One of your guys has a short career and he had a brilliant peak...somebody elses does and "their all-time numbers" don't stack up, ect. This part of it is very true and actually serious on my part.edited to add and yeah we all pimp our teams...you just stick out to me as doing it in a less objective way than anybody else. i'm sure "Lebrongate" has something to do w/ me having that impression....

It is ok... over time yall will realize Lebron was about as Anti-Koya a pick as they come. It just so happened to be my second ever pick in a draft with y'all.Yeah, I was pimping damn hard in NBA but much less in this draft. My team is SOOOO great that it needs no pimping.(although it could use some help in the sim. )

 

[Koya]

Koya,You're getting here.-Nipsey

Naw. The fact that the response to my well formed retort was only "Lebron Sucks" pretty much says it all.It's ok - you can still call me out for things I dont do, but I really dont have much ammo to give you in this draft, as opposed to NBA.Harrier seems to have that role well taken care of here.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Good thing I stayed out of the b-ball draft then. My god..

I'm getting that too. Maybe somebody should ask the guys at whatif. Either way it isn't going to change how I approach the game. It goes against the spirit of the league/my enjoyment to do otherwise. My #4 and #5 starters are part of the team and I want to see how they'd do in a "realistic" type rotation.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

How come some teams have played up to 5 more games than others? Is that a live sim thing or a scheduling thing?

Good thing I stayed out of the b-ball draft then. My god..

It's sad that he doesn't even realize he does it here. It was MUCH worse in the NBA thread, but the same type of stuff.really...it was every other post, "that's a bad pick that can't match up statistically w/ this guy I picked" then the next post, "yeah, your guy has the stats but look what some reporter said about how my guy played D", ect. on and on and on.

blah. nipschtick aint what it used to be. something about overexposure or something. or a lack of ribs. one of the two.(PS, I thought you were a smarter guy than to align yourself with the Nipster. He will use you, then toss you out when its convenient. SOOOOOO Los Angeles. )

I beat Lefty Grove in the first game of a four game series. My team management page shows Lefty Grove is scheduled to pitch in the 4th game of the series as well. Maybe that's a glitch in the system, but if it's not would people complain if another team went with 2 or 3 man rotations in important series, and rested their big names in the series versus the crappy teams? (another argument as to why the crappy teams may have been bad idea).

Does that affect fatigue at all?

I think thier health would drop dramatically if you started them two games in a row...they do, afterall, only have a certain number of innings they can pitch on the year...

My situation is a little different -- my bullpen is struggling so bad, I'm thinking about dropping one of my bottom two starters in the bullpen, and just going with a 4-man rotation.

Basically, it's not unusual for players to show some fatigue early in the season after high-scoring games, and then for that fatigue to more or less go away as time goes on.All my batters pretty much stay at 100% except for Trammell, who dips into the mid-90s pretty often (he has the fewest AB of any of my starters except my Cs).Dan Plesac, who pitched only 62 innings in his third salary year, can hardly be used in back-to-back games though he was a closer in real life. He drops down into the 40s after 20 pitches or so. I now have him set to come out of the game after approx. 15 pitches, even though his ERA is 0.00 and I can use the decent relief pitching (rest of the RPs ERAs are over 6.00).

hitters, I'm not too worried about, but everyone of my starters show at 100 percent, even right after their start. In the beginning, I would get a number in red (ie 52(100)) showing the pitcher would be at 52 percent the next game, but 100 percent the game after that. Right now, every pitcher is at 100 no matter when they pitched.

I'm getting that too. Maybe somebody should ask the guys at whatif. Either way it isn't going to change how I approach the game. It goes against the spirit of the league/my enjoyment to do otherwise. My #4 and #5 starters are part of the team and I want to see how they'd do in a "realistic" type rotation.

I still plan on going with the 5 man rotation as well. Biggest problem I have is that not one of the five has shown to be better (or worse) than the others. I wouldn't know who to take out to go to a four man rotation.Overall has been pitching so well for me in middle relief he knocks on my door everyday asking for a start. I have to flash something shiny in front of his face to distract him and then run out the door, not answering the question.

I think thier health would drop dramatically if you started them two games in a row...they do, afterall, only have a certain number of innings they can pitch on the year...

I pitched Johnson in a Simlive game last night...that screwed up my rotation and it was reset so he would pitch the next game as well. Once the starter is pick for the next game he cannot be changed. Anyway for the 2nd game he was 74%....now his numbers are like 26%/38%

I'm sticking with 5, rotating the 5th between Vida Blue and Vic Willis depending on R/L matchups.

I beat Lefty Grove in the first game of a four game series. My team management page shows Lefty Grove is scheduled to pitch in the 4th game of the series as well. Maybe that's a glitch in the system, but if it's not would people complain if another team went with 2 or 3 man rotations in important series, and rested their big names in the series versus the crappy teams? (another argument as to why the crappy teams may have been bad idea).

Hmmmm I sure hope Grove doesnt pitch again. He is easily my worst sim pitcher. I actually did not want him in the first game - I had to make an adjustement because of Vances injury/fatigue. Cant speak for anyone else, but I am not going with anything less than a four man rotation. I drafted for a 4 man with a couple possibilities for a 5 if/when needed. But unfortunately for you Spock, you will not see Grove again (i hope)

I just faced Walter Johnson in 2 out of three games.

That = BS

16 2/3 shutout innings Pump guess it was worth the fatigue, Johnson smoked my lineup (as did Hubell) :(

Going through the same thing. The 2 starters that I put as long relievers have done really well when they've got in, while some of my starters have struggled. Have considered shaking up the bottom of the rotation. 3 regular bull-pen guys have been solid in short relief. Tim McGraw's daddy still hasn't given up a run.

Yeah, I was pimping damn hard in NBA but much less in this draft.  My team is SOOOO great that it needs no pimping.

Good thing I stayed out of the b-ball draft then. My god..

Who won that by the way?

My situation is a little different -- my bullpen is struggling so bad, I'm thinking about dropping one of my bottom two starters in the bullpen, and just going with a 4-man rotation.

I am going with a 4-man rotation...of course, i don't think I have any complete games and typically my starters are sitting in the 7th inning 'cuz I'm winning by enough not to worry, but... whatever... :rotflmao:

Larry do you think Veggie tales are appropriate for a 4 year old? My wife was a little put off with all the talk of death in those tapes.
