SP Doyle Alexander
Full season?
crap... stupid filter...He has a few usable seasons, so yeah, I'll keep him... just use '72 instead of the awesome half year he had in '87 that i thought was a whole year...
You can throw him back if you like
At first I thought Larry was just being lazy by keeping Alexander, but people have definitely picked worse pitching seasons than his 1972.

Yeah, I figured since its usable and a justifiable pick at this point I wouldn't feel right throwing him back...
 
looking at what positions our team needs and then will pick.

If people want more discussion (which wouldn't be a bad thing) we need to stick with either all-time greats or post-70's time periods.
given the parameters/methods of WIS, i think you could also institute restrictions such as a minimum number of plate appearances or IP in a given season and in a career. that would limit the so-called cookie picks, and drive us to really consider the world beyond WIS
I don't know how much further you've gotten in this discussion since Ijust got to my hotel room, but I love the idea Eephus has been pimping (NOTE TO OLD MAN: that means "advocating") about a draft where all picks have to have a BA under .300 and an ERA over 4.00 or whatever it was.

Another variation could be a "fatal flaw" draft... to keep from the same type of player being drafted over and over, you can choose a flaw. Say every position player you pick has to have one of either AVG below .230, OBP below .300, SLG below .400 or D-/D- defense... something like that.
 
18 . 4 ( 412 ) Doug B : C Delancey, Bill 1934

Woulda loved Brucker's 2B/100 rate, but I'd have to gone with a 3-headed catcher if I had taken Brucker, too.
WHOA. Ok, I was kidding about the Mike Andrews thing and just shticking. But I have a text to SNC sent at 2:29pm eastern time that says "C Bill Delancey"Not kidding.

 
Had my next three catchers I would have taken after Delancey now gone. Hurting my competitive chances. May have to bring TRE in on this one.

It happened.Traitor.
I am not sure exactly what I gain by ####### up your back-up catcher. You did enough in the first sixteen rounds. :-)
 
How would the worst Hall of Fame team do in this league??

And yes, I know Maranville would be the starting SS....

I don't know either. and yet you did it. I'm not making this up. I forwarded TRE the message from 2:29 eastern. "c bill Delancey"Can't spell it out any clearer than that.

If Dirty Psychov really is dead, I think this a great idea to use instead of voting for random players to fill out their roster. Post draft, we select the "worst" HOF team (with their best seasons) and place them in the league... let Tre manage it.

Ok then, message received. I've only done like 6 of these, but I guess that doesn't rank in the "elite" so you can just bend the rules. I've made to LCS, but no World Series yet, so I understand I'm of no import. Based on my last pick of Shane Mack, I'm just going to finish this out drafting only Twins. Go ahead and replace my hijacked pick of Delancey with

OF Bob Allison

Mustachey

 
If you guys want, I could ship somebody my phone. they could check the sent messages and see that I texted SNC at 2:29pm eastern time that I wanted Delancey.
