OFFICIAL WIS XVIII THREAD: An Ode to Claude Hendrix (3 Viewers)

[Doug B]

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

The one time I had Arky Vaughn in one of these (the Golden Steroid draft), he couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag. Ended up trading him to Koya for Mike Scott after 40 games or so.

Tre texted.

Guessing the bulk of us grew up through the 70's-80's, man those were not good relative statistical decades.

Really grew up in the 90s, which didn't get off to a great start, either.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Sorry, doing my best draft killer impersonation.

Addie Joss. P

Well, you drafted a pitcher in the first round - good start!

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Thanks Kraft.

Don't think I've had the Nap yet.

I usually do, and it's worked out for me much better than going batter first IIRC, although I did get the Series ring when I drafted offense first in the disco era draft.

Was one VERY tempting guy out there, but there should be really solid hitting all around and the elite elite pitching should be valuable IN THIS FORMAT.

Have you seen Tre? He's more Shooter McGavin than Mickelson.

Persnickety today aren't we?

As of now my boring comments are the life of this thread.

We need Mipsey and Capella. Add a sprinkle of Harrrrrr

He's not usually on the forums until mid-day.

 

[AcerFC]

What is the time limit when we start in round 2

 

[Doctor Detroit]

What is the time limit when we start in round 2

We get to an hour clock pretty quickly, everyone shaking off the cold/dust in the first couple rounds.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I PM'd teh Spartans. I used to have his number but I lost it.

 

[rodg12]

What is the time limit when we start in round 2

The clock will be a 1-hour clock that runs from 9am-7pm in the poster's time zone.

You an eastern time zone guy, Acer?

I just sent him a text.

I'm sad now that CFB is over. Time to start talking bases via text?

 

[Kraft...]

Found his number in an old google Doc, texted

 

[Brady Marino]

PMed him earlier.

 

[RnR]

Maybe we send a hooker to his house?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Maybe just a few more PMs and texts?

[Chemical X]

we've done so many of these that we all begin to know which players struggle, etc.

i have not had vaughn, but went for position scarcity............the only thing that seems to hold true in these is power and OBP. i have been disappointed by almost every pitcher i have taken.

Have to ask around, but I don't believe Vaughn consistently krappes the bed in WIS. He just did for me that one time.

He did well for me way back when (was it SIM 2 / simfishing maybe?).

 

[Pumpnick]

any body here interested in forming some type of dynasty/keeper/contract type of baseball league? Mine long time one broke up last year.

 

[rodg12]

Sparty just texted that he's stuck in a blizzard without internet. Gonna try to get the pick via text...

 

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

Maybe we send a hooker to his house?

Please note, this is how I would like to be alerted when I am up.

If all goes well I will update in the prostitute thread.

Unacceptable.

For Sparty...

1.15 - Mickey Mantle, OF, NYY

 

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

No hooker but I will pick anyway.

Lou Gehrig 1B

Biggest name I've ever had in one of these.

Could someone please pm Hoos. Thanks

 

[Koya]

Just to bore Tre a little more, I was going back and forth between Gehrig and Joss. He rakes in this IIRC.

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

I was watching Ken Burns' Baseball on Netflix last night, the episode with the end of Gehrig's career. Still impossible to watch that story and not get choked up.

 

[rodg12]

Dang, wanted Gehrig or Mantle with my pick.

 

[AcerFC]

Just started watching the Burns Baseball. Thanks

WHICH ONE IS BEST IN THIS FORMAT??????

 

[Pumpnick]

so the first year eligible to be drafted is 1891?

 

[Hoos First]

1.17 Cy Young, SP

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

I don't think this was ever formally determined. I've been using 1893 though.

Toss up, marginally Joss. Then again what do I know.

Correct.

No Silver King for you.
