Hopefully his .439 obp will make up for C-/D

I'd take that trade off. Oh wait, I basically did. Like 6 times during this draft.

You don't have to pick your spots as a batter against me though - they will all be open.

Need about 10 min since I somehow thought Tom Brunansky was available.

He's one of those guys I have no idea now why I drafted him when I did.

[Koya]

Algie McBride, OF

Will play some center, especially against Righties - would rather have had a righty bat here as I will now have 4 lefties and 1 righty in the OF - perhaps a trade can be in the works.

 

[Koya]

EEph - Ill trade you McBride for Brunansky.

I do think we will see more trading in this format, FWIW.

Pitching = the suck. Once again, hopefully my offense can compensate.

Ok, you'd think Id know but:

1. How do you get the normalized stats, or do you just use the draft center and not the results?

2. How in the heck do you do the code so they align (and do you cut and paste from WIS or from Excel?)

1. It's the AVG#, OBP#, and SLG# in Advanced Stats for each player.2. Spacing. Careful, annoying spacing.

I know how I get toward the end of these things, and micromanaging innings with my 4th starter late in the year is something I don't want to do. I want with quantity over quality and I admit it.

I took freakin' Don Newcombe in the EIGHTH ROUND. There are STILL SPs out there with similar stats. I fell in love with Newcombe's Ks vs BBs ratio, but there will be guys picked 10 rounds later who will be as effective.

Now that I get to look at lineups, some thoughts on my team:

Going to score runs, especially against righties.

Against lefties I have a viable defense. Against righties? Nottasomuch. Probably need to have Valencia in that lineup for some balance.

That said, lots of flexibility to try to overcome the shortcomings. Weaker lineup against lefties, but I have a ton of bats on the bench (including Klein and Cuckoo). May even change my defense according to who I have pitching.

Yeah, this will be fun. :-"

Since the Pitcher will be getting on base more often?

You'll have to forgive him. Us Cardinal fans have been exposed to the pitcher batting 8th for so long that some of us seem to think it's standard practice. Guess Tony got to Phoenix.

My lineup is done save for about 100 PAs needed. NORMALIZED FOR YOUR PLEASURE. (redone because I picked McBride for a reason)

Key Bench Guys:

2B 1987 Jose Lind...........R 157 .| 323 |.358 |.423 | .781 A+/A+ - Defensive Specialist

Don't know if I can live with the defense of my Lefty dominated lineup. May decide to have Valencia play against Righties and use Orengo as 3B against lefties. If I dont need as much power, would use Cuckoo instead of Klein against righties.
