*OFFICIAL* WIS XI: The Uecker Era (1962-67) (1 Viewer)

[Koya]

Making a pick assuming if we add Kraft and TRE we would just add them to the end of the round, just to keep things moving.

**** Allen, 3B

And I can not belive that Mantle almost fell to me.

Was never getting past me GB

Had I gone offense, I probably would have taken allen over mantle, actually. I was surprised both fell to me... but I had to stick by my plan with Pitching.

Nor should he have.

Like I said, he's a top 5, maybe top 3 pick with 600 PAs, but the low PA total apparently scared people awayIt's pretty amazing he won the MVP award with just 377 ABs in 1962

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Kraft and Tre are both in for the 18 team; 2 division, division winners meet in the WS format

Does anyone have an issue with this? If not I say we should slot them in at 16 and 17 and keep this baby moving

Motion to approve.

 

[Doug B]

I'd be fine with the 1961 format; two 9 team divisions, winners face off in the World Series

Tre and Kraft could be slotted in at 16 and 17 pretty easily

If it matters: WIS aims to emulate real-life 1961 MLB structure -- an 8-team National League, with a 10-team Patriot League. They don't do 9 and 9 per Eephus' link.

9 & 9 w/ no innerleeg would mean byes.I won't miss the LCS but not seeing half the other ballparks will be a bit of a loss. Not as bad as not having Kraft & Tre though.

 

[Greco]

Finally I get a decent effing pitcher and now we're talking about a redraft. Just my mother ####### luck.

We don't need no stinkin' redraft.

 

[Doug B]

I'm good with going with the 18-team schedule.Are we sure we're not leaving anyone else out?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Nipsey?

Nipsey?

If only we could get him and harr back for old times sake.

[Doug B]

OK, now for an actual pick:

1 . 15 ( 15 ) Doug B : Torre, Joe , C

 

[Tremendous Upside]

OK, now for an actual pick:

solid pick, would have been my choice if Mantle hadn't been there

Adding Sammy to the list, and given Kraft & Tre's involvement ... we could probably get to 20 with no problems. Anyone invited at this point would have to be able to start drafting right away, though.

No Sammy either

 

[Spartans Rule]

If we're gonna expand, IMO we might as well find two more people, have a balanced league and use the 62-68 schedule format.

How are we just noticing who's not in?

Who's running this Clam Bake?

 

[Greco]

I'm good with whatever you want. Hell, have the new guys roll and if they can get lower than my number they can draft below me, too.

I have normally punted catchers ... but one look at the catchers short list made me re-think that strategy ITF.

I think things moved very quickly once it was determined we could do this with 16 teams rather than 24, I know I had no idea it was starting until the last minuteI will get in touch with Sammy and see if he is interested

 

[Spartans Rule]

I'm good with whatever you want. Hell, have the new guys roll and if they can get lower than my number they can draft below me, too.

You can stay at 16. We'll give the new guys the last spots. at the idea of slotting new blood behind everyone except Greco.

I like the turn. But don't care what you do with any or all of the new guys.

If you want the turn you can stay there.

 

[Greco]

I am not picking until I know if I am at the turn or not. HTH.

It's your call.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

I am not picking until I know if I am at the turn or not. HTH.

If you want the turn, just say so, or else pick now and Kraft and Tre can pick after that

 

[Spartans Rule]

How did I miss out on this?Can someone get me on the auto PM list for when one of these starts....

I guess SCBF is interested.

 

[Greco]

1.16 Tony Oliva, OF

& Dawn

I will relinquinsh the turn.

 

[Spartans Rule]

SCBF pm'ed. I'd prefer Sammy for spot #20 if interested.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Cool...

So Tre or Kraft is up now, I guess they should both roll to see who goes 17th and who goes 18th

 

[Tremendous Upside]

SCBF pm'ed. I'd prefer Sammy for spot #20 if interested.

PMed himThis might slow up down a bit today, but it will make for a much better league in the long runLet's get it locked down before we finish ROund 1 and then we can start with the clock as planned tomorrow

 

[Spartans Rule]

1.7 Dean Chance, SP

Very tough choice between him and one other guy.

The other guy was Mantle. Amazing a man with a .483 OBP could fall so far.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

I am in, if there is room.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Flipped a coin, Kraft is 17th, Tre 18th



Tresheets being compiled as we speak

 

[belljr]

WTH is going ON IN HERE!!!!! IQUIT!!!!

so what happens if we miss our horrible pick???

 

[Tremendous Upside]

If you miss apick you just make it up when you are back

 

[MrPhoenix]

We're going to need a bigger boat.

1.17 - Roberto Clemente, OF

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Tre OTC

 

[Greco]

I don't want my Oliva pick until I know how many are drafting after me. Cool or should I GFM?

 

[Greco]

I don't want my Oliva pick until I know how many are drafting after me. Cool or should I GFM?

Nevermind. That was my sorry ### way of saying I ####ed up and wanted Clemente but I have been beaten, yet again, to the punch.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

1.18 - Harmon Killebrew, 3B/1B/OF/SLUGGER

Harmon has screwed me numerous times, but this is the year!

 

[Kraft...]

Is Tre the official turn or are we holding for potential 19-20 teams?

 

[Eephus]

so now what?

 

[Spartans Rule]

We're holding for 19-20. SCBF can go ahead and pick 19. Sammy gets first crack at 20 if he wants it.

 

[Kraft...]

What about Stadiums? We just pick last or something?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

HOLD! /braveheart

 

[ScottNorwood]

You guys don't get stadiums
