OFFICIAL WIS XVIII THREAD: An Ode to Claude Hendrix (1 Viewer)

[Brady Marino]

Somedays, I feel I'm the only one updating the Google Doc.

I haven't helped at all today. Sorry, buddy.

Meh. It's the end of the draft, where momentum always wanes.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Sorry guys, meeting ran WAY longer than expected.

Ken Tatum, P 60s

I was looking at Tatum but took Peterson since I don't trust Warren Spahn.

Data analysis in the public sector. I'd consider myself middle management. Vast majority of my work deals with public grants to municipal governments and non-profit organizations.

Pretty insane ERC#'s there.

Do you feel like you traded anything away to assemble that level of pitching? Anything about your offense you wish was better, maybe?

Honestly, not really, the reason my offense isn't that good is because I didn't draft very well.

Drafting Hendrix should have given me the ability to extract a really good hitting value from the 00s or 10s, since I didn't need as many spots for deadball aces. Instead I ended up with a mediocre reliever, a long reliever and a backup catcher in 3 of those 4 spots

I'm a wedding planner.

I wonder if that's as cush a job as it seems like it could be. If you can compartmentalize the feaking-out brides and all.

 

[Doug B]

... the reason my offense isn't that good ...

Looks healthy to me, Coach Holtz . Seems to be built more around the general XBH than around HRs..

Not loving all those normalized WHIPs over 1.00 :kickrock: ... traded off a good bit of OAV for lower HR/9 (Great American Ballpark is +2 to LF & RF). We'll see how that goes.

I'm a news director for a radio station in one of the weirdest and interesting towns in America.

Are some parts of North Dakota kind of culturally booming with the oil industry? Or is the oil too far away from population centers? Sometimes I get the impression that in 20 years, I might see something on 60 Minutes comparing places like Williston to artistic enclaves like, say, Taos, NM. Or maybe even a very miniaturized Austin, TX.

Catcher that hits some doubles and has an A+ arm in case some of these teams try to run Gabby Hartnett ragged.

This summer a roughneck from ND tried to fight me and I picked him up and threw him in the street. True story.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

I own a medical supply business. It's nice being my own boss and not dealing with the public and getting paid by the givernment, but the downside is that I get inspected by the state once a year and the Fed twice a year.

Awesome.

Why are people always trying to fight you? I don't get it.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Skip me, even though I'll probably pick in a few minutes anyway.

I haven't paid attention to anyone else's picks since about round 12 and then I act surprised when every idea I come up with is taken.
