just using ERC# and innings for pitchers with no consideration for HRs. It's crude to say the least.

would also add that by using ERC#, you are already accounting for HR rate.

Not quite with the weight jfranco gives HR/9, though.

I had some other ways i could go with that, but decided that another pitcher was the best path and those were the innings that best fit what I was looking for (low OAV, high Ks)

 

[Greco]

Evans Bros. Elevator Co. in simlive now. Come get some.

I don't think ERC# weights it enough. Ideally I would use something like [ ERC# / HR9# ] or some other modifier.

 

[jfranco77]

FFA pick round 25: Mellie Wolfgang, P ChiSox

Both the best Mellie and the best Wolfgang available

I don't think ERC# weights it enough. Ideally I would use something like [ ERC# / HR9# ] or some other modifier.

hear ya', but that formula would be a massive overweighting of HR/9

gonna try to get by with only 13 batters. 7900 PAs should be plenty, however.

25.03 -- Chick Hafey, OF Cards

I thought about getting Ken Boyer to trade to larryboy later when his Gwynn experiment completely flops, but it's complicated with the franchise restrictions. So I'm taking I guy I was mulling when I took Zack Wheat for my 3rd OF spot. Hafey is an xbh machine and a righty bat so now he and Clemente can get some swings if I sit Wheat or Ashburn against lefties. Nothing like getting 336/407/652 in the 25th.

12 batters, 5430 AB, ~6300 PA

 

[Kraft...]

A lot riding on 23 Dolf Luque for me, going with a 3 man rotation(Johnson, Hippo and Dolf) for the first time EVA. After my SP's next highest IP pitcher is 97(1600+ total)

if it flops I just move Gwynn to the OF and sit Wynn and have an OF of Gwynn, Jackson, and Williams (and no defense). Cecil Travis is equally capable at 3B and SS.

 

[the moops]

I wanted Devon white. thanks Doug. I'm tempted to go with Danny Ainge instead

 

[oso diablo]

wondering how many of the various franchise iterations we covered in this draft. i know there was at least one Seattle Pilot, so probably so.

 

[oso diablo]

Athletics = Kansas City Athletics

Braves = Boston Braves, Boston Bees, Boston Beaneaters, Boston Doves

Dodgers = Brooklyn Robins, Brooklyn Superbas

Indians = Cleveland Naps

Phillies = Philadelphia Blue Jay's (yes, WIS has the apostrophe)

Red Sox = Boston Americans

Yankees = New York Highlanders

did anyone pick a season from one of the above?

I saw value in getting some more IP (111 IP, .189 OAV#, 10.43 K/9#, 1.99 ERC#) and those are really good numbers.I'd be comfortable with using Ozzie at SS and Travis at 3B is necessary. I just don't see it being a major issue.

if Gwynn sucks at 3B and I switch:

1. 1B Sisler

2. CF Gwynn

3. RF Jackson

4. LF Williams

5. 3B Travis

6. 2B Evers

7. SS Smith

8. C Burgess

Lessee here ...- Nap Lajoie, himself, is a Cleveland Nap

- No KC Athletics seasons are likely to be used. Colavito, Maris, and Campaneris played for the KC A's at various times.

- Someone picked a Brooklyn Superba, and mentioned it in their write-up. Can't remember who, though.

- No Philadelphia Blue Jay's seasons were even taken.

- Bill Sweeney was a Boston Dove, and Johnny Bates was a Boston Beaneater and Dove.

- Looks like no NY Highlanders were taken

OK ... front page is updated as of right now. The WIS League Number is shown in the first post (in red) for those that are ready to join.

...

I will be pretty much out all day tomorrow. Might be able to get a glance at the board in the afternoon, but can't guarantee it. Meanwhile, Kraft has the Googlesheet going, and jfranco already created the WIS league. So, needless to say ... my work here is done.
