Yeah, sorry for the hold up guys.

No need for this. Requiescat in pace.

T/P, Bogart.

so sorry for your loss. i could make a pick or two for you in the meantime. we need different positions, for the most part.

T/P Bogart. I can vouch for Oso's quality as an emergency draft sub.

 

[Greco]

sorry bogey. thoughts and prayers good buddy.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Taking a sec to e-mail Bogart -- he's half a round behind.

His mother just passed yesterday (or the day before?). He's around, but obviously this isn't a priority.

Terrible news. Condolences to the Bogart Family.

What year was the first of these? 2003? 4?

We started drafting what would become WIS I in December of 2004. The WIS I season itself kicked off in February 2005.We were drafting for WIS II in May 2005, while I was in the middle of a move. I remember making a few picks from the apartment complex's "business center" computer before our household was set up.

We drafted WIS III sometime around August/September 2005. I remember Hoss sending out Baseball Tangent T-shirts. Also remember Badger and other FBG's offering to send pizza to my home after Hurricane Katrina.

I was buying a car during WIS IV drafting, putting that one in the December 2005-January 2006 time frame. Think larry_boy was looking for a ride then, as well.

Wow. A LOT has changed.at that time, there were no iPhones, really no internet phones. I remember in some sim I got my first Internet ready type "smart phone" and it was a huge advantage for research on the run... Although whenever I refreshed the page it would repost my previous post. The Larry Plateau, which I believe was my Oliva trade, was done when I was between jobs, trying to make my own biz work, while getting plastered at a local dive bar one Tuesday.

Back then... Not only was I very single, but my now wife was 18 or so.

The chance of us seeing a Black president anytime soon was zero.

Housing bubble in full effect.

The Pats were on their way to becoming an unmatched modern dynasty, before becoming the Giants and Eli's #####.

The Mets had a bright future.

 

[the moops]

sorry. out goobing around with my 1.5 year old. jack fournier still around?

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

I only started with the HOVG sim, but I love these things. BTTF 1 happened as I was going through 2 surgieries in 6 months and the distraction really helped. Also looking forward to my impending beat down of everyone in WIS NBA BTTF 1, but that is a story for another thread.

My team blows. Getting a late pick in that thing is RUFF.

Available.

 

[rodg12]

10.18 - Ken Griffey Jr., OF, Mariners

Going team scarcity here. Also, my first LHB probably has the sweetest left-handed swing I've ever seen, so that's a nice bonus.

[Brady Marino]

Has Tony Gwynn ever, in his life, played 3B?

He played 3B in tee ball. He was bad there even by 6 year old standards. Never played since.

 

[Koya]

He hit for a .783 avg in tee ball, which translates to about .220 in the Sim.

This is the kind of in depth analysis I come here for. Where else do you get T-ball scouting reports from 1966?!?!! Where else?

Tony Gwynn at 3B? I would like to see that.

I'd avoid his 1966 season for sure. He didn't start hitting his stride until his 8th grade baseball season, where he hit .990 with a 1.823 SLG.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

That's a pretty ####ty SLG for hitting .990.

 

[Koya]

Thats Tony Gwynn for ya.

 

[Brady Marino]

That's a pretty ####ty SLG for hitting .990.

Power didn't develop until he turned 11.

 

[RnR]

Love Gwynn at 3rd.

His bat has been so disappointing to others that I'm going to draft him early AND play him out of position!

 

[Brady Marino]

I'll take Gwynn for my upcoming pick in the 11th.
