***OFFICIAL WIS XIV DRAFT THREAD*** (1 Viewer)

[RnR]

Since we have Treharrrrankings, we should use them to set divisions using the World Cup draw approach from WIS #2. Split them into groups of six (1-6, 7-12, etc.) and draw one team from each seeded group into a division. We can redraw the sub-set if the Doug B or Greco teams get picked together.

Right there with ya, Old Man. Do you want to do the honors?

I'll roll 'em tonight

Good deal, hopefully WIS will have responded to my support ticket asking them to correct my roster. That could be a hold-up. If it is, this is 100% Koya's fault.

 

[RnR]

Doug B, can you tell us which players you are swapping between your two teams?

Barton/Oliva swapped for Guzman/Nehf

 

[Doctor Detroit]

24.24 SS Bud Harrelson

Think he's still available. I don't have a real good pitcher list with me so I'll have to make my 25th round selection later.

 

[Northern Voice]

All $87.5 M of Bernie Carbo's Barber Shop is in. Am I really going to be $10 M under everyone else?

94.3 million

 

[Eephus]

Do I have to pay before I join the league?

I believe so, yes.

Months of fun for $12.95.Really makes me wonder why we waited so long since the last sim

We're doing the 2011 advance sim after this. An idea whose time has come.

[Koya]

Johnny Beazley. P Mop Up, maybe one or two starts if I am desperate.

I searched.

In live.

 

[Koya]

Doug B, can you tell us which players you are swapping between your two teams?

Barton/Oliva swapped for Guzman/Nehf

Um, is this kosher? I thought you couldnt self trade or it would give an advantage to owners with two teams. Just compile talent and could figure out who belongs where later type deal.

24.01 - Pedro Martinzez, 1993

believer or not, there were two Pedro Martinezes who debuted in 1993. which one are you selecting?

The Expos (Dodgers/Red Sox etc...) one.

Halfway through the 23rd round he realized he drafted for Boug D on one turn instead of Doug B. He was willing to throw the guys back out and draft them with his upcoming picks on the other team. I told him just to draft for the other team that round to keep things less complicated. Relax, nerd.

If you are saying we will draft a team before 2011 and sim it after 2011, I am in.

Pretty sure WIS XV: Back to the Future is going to be a huge hit. Most everyone is looking forward to that one.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Where does Tre go in the rankings? Top pod like South Africa as the host team/official Harrrrranker?

since he took an objective approach, why doesn't he just rank himself on the same measures and see where he lands.

Hint: These are the same answer.

Simlive?

 

[Brady Marino]

I'm at about $106 mil on mine.

I was pleasantly surprised by my band of misfits in two SimLive games today.

 

[Doug B]

Question - default has 3 starting pitchers? Is this normal do I need 4?

You can set up any way you like -- I am going with a 5-man rotation (really need 4 guys with at least 280 IP each to do 4-man).

 

[Spartans Rule]

Question - default has 3 starting pitchers? Is this normal do I need 4?

IP determines how many starters you need. If you have a bunch of 300+ IP starters, you probably only need 3.The computer is just guessing based on what you've got. You can use 5 300 IP guys if you want.

 

[Doug B]

Both my teams are in -- I am setting up my squads' batting & pitching in case anyone sims games against them.

Boug D = Blackened Voodoo

Doug B = New Orleans Pelicans

Update: Koya is off the hook, my team has been updated. Now all we need is:

-Dr. D to make his pick

-Four more teams to enter

-Eephus to reveal the divisional alignment.

We're almost at lift off, boys and girls.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Eephus to reveal the divisional alignment.

It's like Selection Sunday. Hoping for a SimLive friendly division.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Boug D = Blackened Voodoo

Doug B = New Orleans Pelicans

Can you give the background on those two names? I know you use them a lot...

 

[boubucarow]

About 103 M. My pitching staff will be interesting. I have the innings but the mix match of pitchers with starts and relief appearances in reality is interesting to handle. I will learn a ton soon enough.

Here are links that will give the namesakes:New Orleans Pelicans

Blackened Voodoo

The Pelicans are a nod back to the original professional baseball team in N.O. The Blackened Voodoo is my most commonly used fantasy team name, and derives straight from the name of a much-loved local brew.

 

[the moops]

How often do you nerds actually live sim when the season starts?

What time do the 3 games per day happen?

 

[Brady Marino]

How often do you nerds actually live sim when the season starts?

What time do the 3 games per day happen?

1. Whenever we're on. We can sim up to a half-season's worth of matchups at one time if we want. Only the truly insane dedicated actually get that far.2. 1 in the early morning, 1 around noon, 1 around 6 PM central (I think)

 

[Spartans Rule]

Sometimes SimLive has momentum and people play over half their games live. Lately it hasn't been anywhere near that.

My schedule is weird but I am around early afternoons, late nights, and occasionally weeknights. Would like to sim a lot this time, especially with my weird PA combinations.
