What years and roll are you using for Matthewson?

Working on it. It looks like 03-04-05-08-09-10 but we are hashing out 10 and 11 and one other. I thought I heard someone say innings pitched are important? We have never done anything like this.

IP are an important factor in WIS salary, but doesn't affect how players perform during a game.Normalization is important in comparing players across different eras. If you search the term in the WIS forums, you should be able to find some good info. When drafting pitchers, you need to keep an eye on normalized HRs and BBs allowed rates.

So its better to have more ip or less? I have no idea what those stats are or where to find them. Also, what do I punch in the dice servers?

More is better in the long run, but Eephus is saying you need to evaluate the seasons as a whole. Check out the draft center at WIS, you can see all of the players and stats you will need there.

Well my ####### IT peoples forget it. :confirmed: I am going to need some help or you guys can wait until I get out of work and home around 8 pm. I really wanted to research some players but if it helps I will just through out my guys name and you guys can move along and I will give my years and rolls later? What say ye?

Since it's after hours on the East Coast and Greco isn't picking, Pik can reconsider Matty's years if he hasn't rolled already. Make sure you set the WIS Draft Center preferences to "advanced"

Yeah, I know, but I don't want to hang the draft up. I am sure the guy I pick will suffice for a top 10 pick even though there are others I'd like to investigate further. It's up to you.

[MrPhoenix]

####! I can't access WIS here at work now! WTF!

Time to find a new job, guy.

I might be singing the same tune. Jackass IT guy won't let me plug my personal laptop into their network anymore even though I tried spinning it as a conveninece since my laptop can run circles around the dog#### PC's in the mailroom and the fact that viruses or spyware couldn't infect my computer no matter how hard they tried because I have my laptop pretty well secured. So now I'm on the piece of #### mailroom PC typing this. Thankfully, there's no internet filters here. But no sound, so no more streaming Sirius.Seriously, I spend about 75% of my workday on my laptop screwing around.

Today is the first day I haven't had free range of anything other than Pr0n. Figures. I am going to try a different machine.

This must be IT Jihad Against Employees Day in America.Seriously, I have a $600 ###-kicking machine sitting next to me and I'm using a computer that isn't worth 5 bucks. This ####### bites. Also, that same IT guy was trying to tell my boss that I can't even use a Wi-Fi connection that isn't even theirs (i.e metro Wi-Fi, broadband card, etc) since "we wouldn't be using the computer for company use". We're contracted to your company, jerkweed, you can't tell us what we can or can't do with our over-abundance of spare time. And if you're going to drop more responsibilities on us, pay us more.

I can say these things since I'll probably have quit this company in 2 and a half months from now to go broadcast the news or local hockey games for some small town, so #### it. Besides, it's my birfday and I'll cry if I want to.

*-Seriously, it's my birthday today. 23 years old. Meh.

If you already have the player you want but just don't know what years and want to research it, I don't mind if you just draft the player and do the rolls and seasons later...If you want to research more players or are unsure of your pick, then just wait til 8. Don't want to force anyone into choosing a player prematurely.

 

[Doug B]

Pik, I would suggest not to get too hung up on IP. Especially with an old-school guy like Mathewson ... all his good seasons have plenty of innings. Don't take too much of a qualitative drop in WHIP, OAV, HR rate, or BB rate (for example) just to go from 270 to 330 IP.

I am cool with it. I am off all day tomorrow, so I will put some lists together with years for friday and it shouldn't be a problem, other than I may or may not be able to access the dice center and someone may have to roll for me.

used your format. you must be used to being ignored. don't even recognize when someone listens to you.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

This sucks when you have players with 4 off the charts years, one good one, and one meh one. That's risky in the first round for sure.

I have no idea at all what I'm gonna do at 17. I think I'll just make a top ten list and stick with it which is usually not my tactic. This looks like more of a "best available" player draft to me.

honestly, this draft isn't going to get interesting for about 6 rounds or so... Once we get past the guys who are all time greats and were all time greats for 6 seasons, then it'll get interesting seeing how guys handle guys with only a few all-time great years and then lesser years of varying degrees...

I disagree. If you are drafting one of your core players early and they have one or two average years mixed in and you get one of those, that really changes your strategy from round to round. In the middle rounds it will just be a lot of luck hoping you get one of the two good years of the six up for grabs for player X. Rounds 6-10 are probably the most important though but after that it's gonna be a case of the dice roll being your friend. The research later will be harder but the early rounds will be more critical in this draft IMO than most of the others we've done. a 19th round gem is gonna be hard to find.

Risk is the added dimension this time around. There have already been some guys picked who wouldn't have been if the seasons were fixed, and vice versa. The guys with 2-3 great seasons will be this draft's equivalent of low IP/AB freaks. Deciding how early to take them is a major strategic consideration.I'm hoping we haven't overemphasized the dice rolling element but I guess we'll find out soon enough. I expect we'll see a bigger split between studs/non-stud players and good/not good teams in this sim. I doubt we'll have divisions separated by 3 games like we've seen before. Ruth 21 and Bonds 04 scare me already.
