Cy Young. 443 Tasty Innings.

 

[Koya]

1.4 - Ted Williams - OF

Never owned him before. I'm sure this pick sucks in this format. But I don't care.

I don't think there's a format where you can go wrong with 406/551/735.

Yeah. I usually go pitching first, but Ted or Lajoie would have been tough to pass up.

 

[Koya]

Texted Doug

 

[the moops]

It was either Williams or Alexander for me at #1

The Champ will let his four World Series Trophies speak for themselves.

 

[Pumpnick]

whoa whats going on here? i don't even know what years we are using.

 

[Koya]

We're drafting, GB.

Info should be in the OP. 1898-1901, 1914-1918, 1939-1945, 1950-1953.

 

[Pumpnick]

is there a way to search all these years at once in the draft center?

 

[Koya]

Yes, put a semi colon between years. Hit the little circle dealie to the left of the years range.

1898;1899;1900;1901;1914;1915....

nvm got it

 

[Doug B]

Not in love with this pick -- and the snap kick-off to this thing left me piecing together thin analysis -- but it's looking like I need to go with:

1.06 (6): SP Cicotte, Eddie

 

[Pumpnick]

federal league good?

Nope. We know what you are thinking, btw.

Definitely the next pitcher in line. Would have had him above Young, but almost 100 more innings had me take it, plus never had Young in one of these things and it makes for good shtick.

 

[Spartans Rule]

In the dice roll thing, I had Cicotte and Cy and Cicotte was better. I don't remember which Cy season I had though. I know I had the Cicotte one that Doug just drafted.

 

[Brady Marino]

I remember Cy being pretty disappointing in these things.

It's a killer season for Cicotte. It's just tough to be a notch below the big two in terms of stats and also have less innings. But he can easily win a championship for his team.

 

[Koya]

I remember Cy being pretty disappointing in these things.

I remember he had been also, but of late seemed to do better. WE SHALL SEE.

 

[Pumpnick]

Eh, I won't get cute....

[RnR]

We're using third-round reversal in this thing, right?

 

[Spartans Rule]

I think Cy was disappointing in earlier sims more because of expectations. He'd be real high on the salary list, and he's Cy freakin' Young, so he'd get drafted too high for his numbers. At this point, we know what he is.

Hand over a stud player and we'll be good. I'm screwed here.

That's what happens when you get cute.

If teams have won it all from the 24 spot, you should be fine.

 

[Spartans Rule]

PM sent to Pump. Hope he comes back.

Yeah, but that's with the No. 1 team not picking again until No. 48. Being able to take a stud and then get two more players on the same tier as my first two players is robbery. Make the change.

 

[Pumpnick]

ugh there aren't any good players left

 

[RnR]

ugh there aren't any good players left

Exactly. Eephus was right.

 

[Bogart]

Time to get cute??

 

[the moops]

I will go with a 19th round reversal. That seems fair

 

[Brady Marino]

ugh there aren't any good players left

Exactly. Eephus was right.

Don't you feel just GREAT about your dice roll now?

I'm just feeling super here.

 

[Spartans Rule]

ugh there aren't any good players left

That's how crazy the wars were. They only left 6 good players behind.

 

[Pumpnick]

Ty Cobb

 

[the moops]

We should have had 2 leagues. One with dudes who fought in a war, and one with dudes who didn't

 

[Koya]

Ty Cobb

That's the guy here IMO if your taking a bat. One other I could see argued.

Taking the WWI vs. WWII dueling drafts out of this was a terrible decision.

I tend to agree, here. But didn't want to rock the boat (as I'm prone to do)

Let's just start over and do this the right way.

 

[rodg12]

Two 8 team drafts didn't seem like a very fun idea. We're already down to only 16 of us knuckleheads. Fracturing it even further wouldn't have been good.

 

[Chemical X]

obviously we need more wars to make this draft palatable.

Nice try bub. Come on, win it from the tail.

WTF is up?

Is Walter Johnson available?
