OFFICIAL WIS XVIII THREAD: An Ode to Claude Hendrix (2 Viewers)

[Doctor Detroit]

Only 1 pitcher taken in the last 20 picks. I was going to draft hitting, but the value seems to be at pitcher right now...

O RLY?

I texted Greco, he hasn't answered back but he puts out fires in Detroit so this might be awhile.

I thought they stopped putting out fires in Detroit.

Greco takes OF Hank Aaron

Any idea on what years? Could be 50s, 60s, or 70s. (guessing he wants the full season 1959)

Strange that you have Duffy so high, and Delahanty is no where on the list. Why is that?

Oh I've had Duffy, he's amazing. Just wondering what your thought process was, I liked Delahanty where I got him.

Duffy is also more memorable because his name rhymes with muff.

I kinda feel like a jerk now.

But still larry, this should teach you the value of predraft lists. If not for the courtesy of others, but also so you don't get sniped.

I was suppose to be mostly on from like ~3 to 7, instead ended up with 30 seconds. It happens.

I didn't send a list cuz I was like 15 out when I left and was supposed to be on...

I'm in the thread then "poof"' I think because I have the window "open" on my phone and tablet at all times... Best I can think of, because I'm not even on at all sometimes when you guys are like "Larry is here!"... I read it later and am like "no, I wasn't..."

As far as 3B, we're going into spring training with the most talent we feel we can bring in and we're going to see where things shake out as far as who plays where and when.

 

[Frostillicus]

I'm glad I have one first rounder on Franco's list. Hooray for meeting expectations!

 

[Chemical X]

maybe We can play more than the 3 SIM lives it seems happens each draft. also, any way to SIM live from a tablet?

 

[AcerFC]

sorry guys. I crashed super early last night. Will try to have the pick in a few. Not sure what direction I want to go in

 

[AcerFC]

Still unsure but dont want to hold it up any longer. Someone tell me how bad this pick is, I can not tell how to draft based on decades and where guys should go. Hope defense plays a role

I had Griffey in the teams one we did. He ended up leading off for me. Had a great season.

ETA: Toughest thing with him is that his 1994 is his best offensive season, but he shouldn't really play CF in this that year because his D rating is an inexplicable B/C+.
