[Koya]

RnR up and was in thread yes? Just gave heads up to chem assuming RnR picks

Good comissioneering here.

Commissioner Larry Boy.

Chem hasn't replied either, so may be a night.

It was a run.

We should probably just call the whole thing off.

 

[RnR]

Relax, nerds.

Bobcats/Knicks. Hopefully he makes it out of that one...basketball that bad...yikes.

ETA: On the plus side, he got to see Acer's 3rd round pick in the B2TF Basketball league...Bismack Biyombo

[jfranco77]

Oh Johnny Bench....

My hitters batting averages are .440, .383, .373, .372, .355, .349, .339, and .270.

One of these things is not like the other.

 

[the moops]

440?

 

[jfranco77]

440?

Duffman.

Sadly, it's only .411 normalized.

 

[Koya]

X texted me back late last night to skip him but as it's the am let's give him til 9:30. If he doesn't respond to my text I'll pick then as he might be having a late am

 

[Koya]

X said to skip him ill pick in 5

 

[Koya]

I was going to punt the Fed league, but this guy is sticking out there as definitely useable - might as well have another PH with a little pop and lots of doubles. Could be used at 1B in a double switch too. Finally looked at the end game roster, and having even one extra workable part could really help.

Steve Evans. Federal League

15.14 - Bobby Jenks, RP 2000s

Had planned on Soriano here, but Jenks is a decent substitute with his solid homer and walk rates...he just doesn't have that sick normalized .160 OAV.

what is oav

Opponents average. Soriano's normalized opponent's batting average is a paltry .160.

when is the next one of these. I should have asked all these questions before.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Greco's guy WIlbur Wood is an example where the normalized OAV is worse than the actual. Opponents hit .222 against him in his best season, but 1971 is a poor offensive year; so his normalized OAV is .230.

 

[Doug B]

I nnoticed that jfranco indicated upthread that batting average stats don't figure into his offensive ratings (when ranking teams for divisions). I wonder if OAV figures in any way into his pitching rankings?

 

[AcerFC]

Franco > Where do you have my team as of now. PM me if you dont want to ruin the suspense

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I nnoticed that jfranco indicated upthread that batting average stats don't figure into his offensive ratings (when ranking teams for divisions). I wonder if OAV figures in any way into his pitching rankings?

I personally think it may be a mistake in teh all-timers to not look at offensive batting average. With all of these great pitchers having low walk rates I feel like the batting average holds up a little more. :twocents:

I generally tend to agree, though I've balanced out the approach at least over the last couple sims. I used to go all OAV for pitchers and even in tough times it held up well, but in this type of draft you need to protect against the long ball a bit more than a smaller player pool.

He'll be comfortable with me as a manager then. Our clubhouse spread is top ####### notch.
