***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (2 Viewers)

[Kraft...]

I had an interesting idea to eliminate some of the sim-fishing for version 2.0.  We could randomize which year you get.  You pick the guy, then roll the dice.  Whatever number you get is the year.  We could use the first 3,4,5, etc. cutoff.

You want to roll the dice with Brady Anderson, be my guest.

####.What's the point of it being random? Or the point of doing a whole draft only to have it be decided by chance? For the dude that gets consistently 5th and 4th years despite drafting way better players than the guy who gets consistently 1st and 2nd years, what do you tell him? The whole point of doing a sim, or of having any method to evaluate a draft after it happens, is to determine who had the best draft. Leaving it up to chance lops off that possibility, and little else valuable remains.

Harrier makes too much sense sometimes.

Negative.I'd take that over simfishing.

People want an All-Time MLB Draft that can be run on WIS. Not an All-Time WIS draft, that can be run on WIS.

If we all wanted that, we could just go sign up tomorrow and play. Simfishing ruins the idea of the league. Look at Harrier's pitching for an example. And that's why he is fighting the idea of a random year. He knows it would kill his strategy.

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SEE THIS?

Honestly, if you're trying to push some of us into a second league, this is a good start. I WILL NOT BE IN A LEAGUE WITH RULES LIKE THIS.

Nipsey,Want what's left of the hooker me and John Martinez split this morning?? Sorry, we ate all the scones.

I hope you went before Martinez, that guy's nickname in highschool was "The Stretcher".

:blackeye:

It looks to me like people are viewing what this draft should be differently. Neither position is wrong. Why don't we just have two drafts? Seriously. I really do NOT want to adopt career minimums for a sim league that has nothing to do with career statistics. That makes no sense to me. I don't even see how Sim fishing even COMES INTO PLAY if you allow guys to use any year they want. Everyone is going to use baseballreference as a guide anyway. What's the difference? It's been proven that WIS salary is pretty much meaningless as fatigue doesn't really set in on the sim. Guys are going to be looking at WHIP and OBP #'s anyway. I don't understand what you guys are trying to protect by enacting minimums into the draft. It's a waste of time! We all know what the score is from day one. What the hell are people afraid of?

[Doug B]

One of the few things I agree with harrier about -- please, no random years. Thanks also to weirdly variable defensive rankings, I really, really think we need to be able to select any season we want for any player we draft.

I (and several others) support minimum career standards to head off sim-fishing for the Les Lancaster types.

actually, I agree with this more than the random year.

Nipsey and harrier have expressed concerns about the complexity of using minimum career standards. But can there really be a concern about having difficulty finding guys with, say, 7000 career ABs, for example? Jillions of players have that many ABs -- pretty much anyone who had a solid 12-15-year will have that.Same with minimum standards like 2000 IP, 160 wins, or 120 saves.

Can somebody make a list of the players they think will undercut the "all-time" acpect of the draft besides Brady Anderson and a few dead ball era pitchers? Wasn't Hack Wilson drafted in the last sim? seriously, what are you guys afraid of? I don't get it.

Neither position is wrong. Why don't we just have two drafts? Seriously.

It occured to me that even if a potential "WIS free-for-all" draft could not come up with 24 FBGs to enter, it would be possible to troll for members of the WIS.com forums. That place is rife with open league invitations -- why not your proposed high-cap league?

I don't understand what you guys are trying to protect by enacting minimums into the draft. It's a waste of time! We all know what the score is from day one. What the hell are people afraid of?

It's not fear -- it's preference. Wearing blue jeans doesn't necessarily mean someone is afraid of wearing wool trousers.But wool trousers can be mighty itchy. And having Paul Quantrill and Les Lancaster own Jimmie Foxx and Nap Lajoie is pretty d*** itchy, too.

Yeah, the Chief got ####ing shelled. It's surprising, but really not that surprising. There's an awful lot of randomness in a 5-game series. That's why I only gave myself 4-1 odds to win this thing.

As I've said other times--I'll push my good pitchers to the limit of what their WIS endurance levels allow. I'll expect my opponents to do the same. We were clear before about this being the policy in the playoffs. Believe me, with the deepest pitching staff in the league, it's not exactly to my advantage.

That would be a nice thought if WIS had decent endurance levels. I haven't seen a pitcher below 100 percent since the first week of the season. I'm going 4 man (possibly three) for the entire playoffs. But then again, out of my four starters, no one or two pitchers stand out enough to start them over another.

You have to be careful with it. I sent Pfiester down to a 23% rest level when I set his pitch count too high. He missed a start in the playoffs because of it.

If anybody pitches a guy more than say games 1,4, and 7 it'd be pretty cheap imho...

As I've said other times--I'll push my good pitchers to the limit of what their WIS endurance levels allow. I'll expect my opponents to do the same. We were clear before about this being the policy in the playoffs. Believe me, with the deepest pitching staff in the league, it's not exactly to my advantage.

That would be a nice thought if WIS had decent endurance levels. I haven't seen a pitcher below 100 percent since the first week of the season. I'm going 4 man (possibly three) for the entire playoffs. But then again, out of my four starters, no one or two pitchers stand out enough to start them over another.

You have to be careful with it. I sent Pfiester down to a 23% rest level when I set his pitch count too high. He missed a start in the playoffs because of it.

Who??? The faucet guy?

Your guys must have huge pitch counts.

Rough first game harrier....

Yeah, the Chief got ####ing shelled. It's surprising, but really not that surprising. There's an awful lot of randomness in a 5-game series. That's why I only gave myself 4-1 odds to win this thing. I'm happy with how my team proved itself over the course of the season, and not too worried about what happens in a much smaller sample size.

ok bobby cox

Good game to you today Pumpnick. I knew facing Big Train was going to be tough. How many more times am I going to have to face him.

2-4

Seriously how many games do we have to rest our starters?

hmmm, then maybe its just my pitchers and pitch counts, I really haven't tried to push anyone, although I wish Joe Wood would pitch more. Good info to know.

Oh, and hope you are feeling better after your fall. I was a bike messenger for a semester in college, and that was crazy. Never caught a door, but was close a few times.

Thanks for the kind wishes. Other than a slight hobble, I'll be fine quickly.

I'd check Larry's roster before the game. I smell shenanigans.
