***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (4 Viewers)

[larry_boy_44]

why must we be LOCKED into one year for a guy. what is so wrong with going 4th or worse, something like that. gives flexibility while remaining neutrality/fairness while eliminating guys that only had 1-3 good years.

Plus, makes it more fun. You want Rose at two positions, great... he proved he could do it.

Locking into a year should be a lesson learned.

Commish Rules

I think what we'll do here is roll from years 3-5, and then whichever you roll, you can choose up or down one year if you like.

So if you roll a 3, you can choose years 2, 3, or 4

Roll a 4, choose from years 3, 4, or 5

Roll a 5, choose from 4, 5, or 6

Same positional choices will be allowed, if someone wants to be SURE to get someone at a particular position.

Thanks to Larry for the idea.

actually someone else said it first/too (not sure... lol)

 

[Mr. Pickles]

EXCUSE ME,

I will be running the next league. I have the experience, as I ran the Milker draft almost flawlessly. I made quick decisions, including drafting and all-world Milker squad. I think the participants would agree that the draft went smoothly, I was affable and a good time was had by all.

I hereby throw my hat into the ring and if anything, I do so to steal possible votes away from Capella.

God bless (for Larry) and good luck in my upcoming draft!

Remember, you ain't no gypsy, if you vote for Nipsey.

I ran that draft.

Commissioner-elect Harrier. What about the players who can play multiple positions? If we're stuck with a roll of the dice we may get a sub-optimal position and thus find our defense f-d. I like to call this the Charlie Hustle Blows at 3rd clause.Signed,

Confused in St. Paul

Commish Rules

We will allow for players to be drafted for a specific position, assuming that was a position that the player was well-known for playing, and played for years. Thus, Mel Ott could be drafted specifically at OF, or without any positional requirements, but could not be drafted specifically at 3B.

what about guys who never played at one position long enough to be known there??

I mean, if a guy played 200+ games at 5 different positions, he isn't gonna be well known at any of them...

Hypotheticals generally aren't that instructive. Do you have an example that you think would present a problem?

Pete Rose...

628 games at 2B

638 at 3B

939 at 1B

1327 in OF

Julio Franco...

367 at DH

403 at 1B

663 at 2B

715 at SS

both of these guys, are they really known at 1 position? ARe they eligible for all of them??

We need to have a game minimum for positions, IMO...

and other guys (Paul Molitor) were used as a utility guy, even though they had a main position, which is valuable to have on a team...

Rose we already addressed.

Franco would be eligible to be drafted specifically at 1B, 2B, or SS--DH would not be allowed.

Any year in which a majority of the player's games were at one particular position would be eligible in terms of drafting "only" for that position.

Yes, but the issue because when you have to use his 3rd or whatever best year on WIS and they're an awful fielder at the position you drafted him for.

The way Rose booted around the ball in live action you'd think his name was Pele.

Right--so you could draft Rose specifically for third base, and the dice roll would be done between only his 1975, 76, 77, and 78 seasons.

Who in their right mind would draft him then unless it was late in the draft? You'd have an all time great draft where people are avoiding all time greats who played different positions through out their career.

Why would anyone avoid him? If you just want Rose, you could draft him early without any positional requirements, and just build around whatever season and position you had him at.

Hypothetically consider two great players. The first player played 2B his entire career. The second player had half his career at 2B, and half his career at 1B. You are wanting to take a 2B as your next pick. The second player had just as many good seasons at first as he did at second. Assuming a 3 is rolled on the dice, you are guarenteed to get the first players third best season on WIS. However the second player could give you the players 6th best season, maybe ever worse. Who would you take assuming both players had similar careers?

This is solved with the latest commish ruling.

You have to edit it to be under 20K or so. It's not rocket surgery. Also helps if you make it 64x64, but most n00bs can't figure out how to do such complicated stuff.

that's how all those teams should be. Get guys that hit for low averages (don't have to hit like .110 though, if you get a couple of .250 hitters the league isn't going to fold) and no power, but w/ relatively high AB totals. Get pitchers that suck but have enough innings to get you through the season. You can give it paramaters to search by ie <.250 avg >300 AB

TURNER FIELD - The Bullet Joes today announced self-imposed sanctions resulting from the use of clone players and the wrong seasons in the FBG FFA All-Time MLB theme league at WIS. While team officials insist that these were honest errors, the result of trying to retro-graft one draft into another (a move which critics have derisively termed "hijacking"), they still felt that these penalties were important for the good of the league, allowing it to move forward and focus on more important matters such as RIBS, Dragons, and multiple alias accounts.

The sanctions are:

No post-season play for this theme league

Immediate removal of the best Rivera, replacing with a Jesus Colome type pitcher
Immediate removal of the best Nomar, replacing with a SS that can't hold the jock of Pop Lloyd
Should another baseball draft occur, and oso be invited to join, forfeiture of the team's 1st round pick, replaced by consecutive picks in the 2nd round

Screw that. I say we excommunicate him. (From the church, not the league.)

 

[Koya]

why must we be LOCKED into one year for a guy. what is so wrong with going 4th or worse, something like that.  gives flexibility while remaining neutrality/fairness while eliminating guys that only had 1-3 good years.

Plus, makes it more fun.  You want Rose at two positions, great... he proved he could do it.

Locking into a year should be a lesson learned.

Commish Rules

I think what we'll do here is roll from years 3-5, and then whichever you roll, you can choose up or down one year if you like.

So if you roll a 3, you can choose years 2, 3, or 4

Roll a 4, choose from years 3, 4, or 5

Roll a 5, choose from 4, 5, or 6

Same positional choices will be allowed, if someone wants to be SURE to get someone at a particular position.

Thanks to Larry for the idea.

Nevermind. This can be simplified.Commish Rules

You roll from 2-4. (or 2-5, or 2-6)

If you roll a 2, you get your choice of 2nd season or worse.

If you roll a 3, you get your choice of 3rd season or worse.

If you roll a 4, you get your choice of 4th season or worse.

Again, if you want to be SURE to get a guy at a particular position, you can draft on the positional requirements.

Reaction, Koya?

was eating pizza. the last piece of pizza is a lonely piece. so good, but once she is gone - gone, forever.

I liked the first idea... having some range of 3 years and role for "which range" - not sure about it, but worth considering for sure.

I dont like the idea of rolling to see which worse than season we choose. The purpose of rolling is because you will have a very limited selection (3 or so). If we have a "worse than" season, it just would make it a little luck and BS potential if I get say 5 2's an a 3, and you get shafted with 3s and 4s.

If you do or worse, I would recommend 4th year or worse.

If you want to bring in the inconsistent players, then you can role with a range. Perhaps teams are allowed one/two exceptions to apply to utility players. Just an idea.

The purpose of rolling is because you will have a very limited selection (3 or so).

I thought it was to prevent people from choosing on the strength of one particular season (i.e. 3rd best season, as has been a problem in this draft).

Immediate removal of the best Rivera, replacing with a Jesus Colome type pitcher

Cut Mariano Rivera (96). Acquired Brian Bohanan (92), salary of $668k. 45 stellar innings of 6.31 era. Yummy.edit to add: i'd fix the other guys, but i don't know how.

TURNER FIELD - The Bullet Joes today announced self-imposed sanctions resulting from the use of clone players and the wrong seasons in the FBG FFA All-Time MLB theme league at WIS.  While team officials insist that these were honest errors, the result of trying to retro-graft one draft into another (a move which critics have derisively termed "hijacking"), they still felt that these penalties were important for the good of the league, allowing it to move forward and focus on more important matters such as RIBS, Dragons, and multiple alias accounts.

The sanctions are:

No post-season play for this theme league

Immediate removal of the best Rivera, replacing with a Jesus Colome type pitcher
Immediate removal of the best Nomar, replacing with a SS that can't hold the jock of Pop Lloyd
Should another baseball draft occur, and oso be invited to join, forfeiture of the team's 1st round pick, replaced by consecutive picks in the 2nd round

just go in and fix it now. no big deal. honest mistake.

Screw that. I say we excommunicate him. (From the church, not the league.)

Excommunicated myself long ago. Not near as bad as some people make it out to be...

just take Rivera=3rd best seasonIf you want to punish yourself "throw" some games against the teams you beat up on (sit your good players against them). No reason to dilute the league.

Uh, can we go back to ridiculing LB for any of the following reasons; a) blowing his priest, b) believing in the Ark, dragons, Jesus, ect., c) "sinning", d) other?

what happened to classy posts?

The Lebron pick ruined this board.

Then my fishing trip is done. Im really an alias of Nipsey. You idiots never had a clue.

I think that is one of the consequences. Could be more than one reason.

If we have a "worse than" season, it just would make it a little luck and BS potential if I get say 5 2's an a 3, and you get shafted with 3s and 4s. If you do or worse, I would recommend 4th year or worse.

4th year or worse still allows people to fish for best 4th year.To solve the other problem, the rolling can be done for each round, not for each team. So after the first round is finished, a die would be rolled from 2-4, and if a 4 was rolled, all the players in the 1st round (on every team) would be 4th year or best. This prevents players from being chosen on the basis of a particular good year, but equalizes things among all teams. It would take a commish who stayed on top of everything though, and kept all the data clear and compiled. I have experience handling that academically, so I'm sure I'll be the best man for this job.

I don't think that's an option. He has to pick up an available FA.

To play devils advocate, I could sim fish for 4th year and then if I get a 2nd or worse, still go with the 4th. guess that is my point. now im eating ice cream. very distracted here.
