Added this link to the first post.

 

[jfranco77]

Before Doug throws this pick out there, are there any rules you nerds are going to cry about in a few rounds that haven't been covered in the first post?

No partial seasons.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Okay, spreadsheet has all 25 rounds on it now.

Just to clarify...is the 2000s decade 2000-2009 or 2000-2013?

Just to clarify...is the 2000s decade 2000-2009 or 2000-2013?

I'm assuming we go 00-09 for all decades

Didn't think this was formalized. Don't care either way ... just don't recall a decision. I do see that RnR called a vote on it back on pg 1.

 

[Doug B]

Does the GoogleSheet (or the list on Pg 1) track decades taken per drafter? I realize it doesn't need to be conclusively declared at the time of the pick ... but we need to be at least tentatively tracking decades-per-drafter. Somebody will be drafting their third guy from a decade by Round 8, I bet.

I'm unofficially tracking decades offline (using my best guess), but I can't use the GoogleSheet at all.

c) Full & combined seasons only. No partial seasons.

Yeah, the vote never really materialized. We'll stick with 00-09 on all decades to keep it simple.

Yes, we have set up a column for decades on the Googlesheet.

By the way... great work being done in the prostitute thread in the FFA. Better get over there and read those stories before they disappear.

I'm curious as to thoughts on this.

In This Format, dd Claude Hendrix have an argument as the #1 overall?

I think that depends on your strategy and how much you weight pitching, scarcity of years/leagues and the like.

Personally, I don't think so, but that's me. He could have gone anywhere from about where he went to about 10 picks later.

Ruth just has so much of an advantage... I could see an argument for #2 overall, but again, only if you put weight behind getting that Fed leaguer.

I thought about Hendrix before drafting Maddux but decided the Federal League factor didn't boost his value enough. I suspect the 25th round will end up being a Federalapalooza

I thought about it also but didn't know how much Federal League variance translated to the sim. Since Franco plays more than I do, it seems it translates well.

RnR - when are we declaring stadiums? At 2nd round pick?

Yep. The usual routine there.

Figures that Franco would take advantage of the spotlighting. <_<

Funny thing it's probably the most far-fetched, yet the truest of all those posted. lol

I wouldn't take him over Ruth, or Walsh. I would have considered him ahead of everyone else picked. Once we get deeper into the draft I'll be happy to go into it more.

He's one of about 3 or 4 fed players who can actually contribute. But we'll all have guys who aren't really contributing, so I can see the argument for ignoring the extra value Hendrix may or may not provide.

He actually was my back-up pick to Pete Alexander. I am trying to add in another metric for judging talent and he was second in my valuations.

Maybe a hitter before the 7th round? I don't think that can be considered a "metric."

Old habits are hard to break. What's the old saying? Good pitching beats good hitting? Or was it that the game was 50% pitching, 50% hitting and 50% defense?

Man, Hornsby is always criminally underrated in these things. I had a really tough time passing him up. Glad to see Arky finally getting some respect.

Was weighing Hornsby at 1.01, mainly due to positional scarcity.

 

[Greco]

I had Hornsby in the last one. He was meh.
