Ended up with the Carne Asada Taco. Not bad, but not that impressed either.

That said, what a great spot for a ballpark. Walk back to my hotel, and then out to the gaslamp. Really well integrated into the urban fabric, or should I say, they really built the urban fabric around it nicely.

 

[Greco]

Hot dog down?

Doug B - OTC (CLock up @ 10:00 a.m Central / 11:00 a.m. Eastern)

Fixed. Will pick soon, but may run just past the top of the hour.

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm on a train.

 

[Kraft...]

I'm on a train.

Party train?

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm on a train.

This is meant to be sung, in your choice of Nirvana or Lonely Island/T-Pain voice.

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm on a train.

Party train?

I wish. Train to Toronto for a couple hours at a pub with my "sales team" before the long weekend here, which is much better than actually working but it's close to two hours travel both ways for a couple hours of semii-awkward work drinking.

16.10 - 'Hard Hittin' Mark Whiten, OF/DH

Card

 

[rodg12]

Question for the simvets....why the variance in price for Whiten's three 1996 full seasons? Do the normalization numbers differ based on the team he's on?

 

[Kraft...]

TU takes

16.11 - Tim Belcher, P

 

[Frostillicus]

As of Thursday morning I will be internet-less until the next Saturday so we should probably try to wrap this up rather quickly.

 

[Eephus]

Normalization is done against the league. His combined season numbers normalize better against the 1996 NL than 1996 AL.

Gotcha, that explains why the ATL and PHI seasons are the same. Thanks!

Do you mean between Thur May 23rd and Saturday May 25th? If so:

At current pace, we'll probably get to early-to-mid Round 18 today. Probably another full round over the weekend, or maybe a bit less. We'll probably get into next Monday morning early in Round 19, and end Monday in early Round 21.

We'll be cutting it close to have the free-for-all Round 25 take place before next Thursday, but it might just be possible. A brisk weekend over May 8th & 19th would help a ton.

 

[larry_boy_44]

if this goes how I see it going in my head, my team is gonna hit just under the salary cap

 

[Doug B]

That should be true of all of us.

this is the first time all of my targets have gone under the cap.

Leaving for Canada the morning of the 23rd and returning the evening of the 31st. Will have zero internet or phone service while I'm up there (in the middle of nowhere). Need to get the draft done and get my team entered before I leave. If need be I suppose TRE (or anyone) could enter the team under their ID or something.

Ron Villone, P

please PM next, gotta run to meeting.

It's taken me 7 pitchers just to get over 1000 innings. I'm going to end up with a 13 man rotation and a 3 man bench.

I'm at 958 with three starters. I like 750 of those innings so my team is gonna suck because I'm sure I won't like the other 600 or so.

The low IP pitchers with enough IP/G to start have been picked pretty clean. It wasn't a long list to begin with because of the usage patterns for relievers in the 90s.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Just realized the Schilling year X wants to use is flawed because he appeared in relief a couple of times. Hello, 5.39 IP/G.

16.17- C/1B/OF Jim Leyritz

An abomination defensively at C, where he'll spell Lieberthal, but the guy can rake, pinch hit, and fill in at 1B and OF.
