[Koya]

I'm doing this for Tre:

Dolph muthafukin' 1B Camilli.

Goodbye thirties. **** Allen, welcome home - 3B.

Probably.

 

[Greco]

If it helps, Franco somehow thinks I am in the top 10 and I think my team will suck.

He already ranked?

 

[Eephus]

Decade count will we wait for Koya.

FL 12

 

[avoiding injuries]

Fred Tenney, C 1890's

Already have Stenzel and Connor in the 1890s.

ETA: Putting Tenney in the 1900s?

Sure. So much for a good OBP backup catcher.

Ok, so now knowing he doesn't play C in 1900's I have no use for him. Can I throw him back and have a selection at the end of the draft after everyone has completed their teams. This was a bad couple hours for me.

Decade count will we wait for Koya.

FL 12

1890s 30

1900s 38

1910s 35

1920s 25

1930s 30

1940s 34

1950s 28

1960s 36

1970s 38

1980s 45

1990s 44

2000s 44

Close battle between 80's, 90's, and 2000's for which decade will be done first.

I bet its going to nice when people are the only one left with a certain decade and they can just sit back and wait for their player.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

BTW, the 40's and 50's really are the suck.

Especially the 50's. No wonder Ted Williams was so good, all the pitchers were shiit.

Would have taken him if he made it back to me.

Just re-pick.

Dreadful is a good word to describe the 50s (except Fonzie and Ike of course)

Rook is struggling to completion here. ****.

 

[the moops]

Anyone interested in jeff reardon? I have a different 80s guy I want.

Kinda glad I got Mathews early on because the 50s are brutal in general. 40s ever-so-slightly better.

I'm happy I was able to get Mays and Kaline. Sparty sitting pretty with Mantle and Campy.

[Eephus]

The general mediocrity of the 50s might make it good for a future short-era sim. We'd probably have to blacklist Mantle and a few others but we'd be able to get away from the usual cookies.

Thanks. Dutch Leonard, RP 1940s.

I think a different Leonard was drafted earlier.

Maybe 40's too? Pretty shallow there as well.

 

[Koya]

Wait. There's TWO Dutch "Oven" Leonards?

Good thing I have both of my 1950's guys left to draft!!!

If I didn't like one of the 80s guys I took, sure. Sowwy.

I am sure whoever left that comment about him on the spreadsheet would be very interested in him.

That sounds more like torture. What next, you want to make it a cap league too? And we can roll dice!!!

Some good stuff going to be added to my roster.

I still think the dice roll league was a good concept. It introduced an element of variability that is closer to real life. BTTF has this in spades of course but that's a different story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the dice roll league...SINCE I WON! BOOM.

 

[Brady Marino]

I wonder how a 1800s-only league would do.

 

[avoiding injuries]

How many dice roll leagues have you all done? Because I was in a dice roll league 4-5 years ago.

 

[Spartans Rule]

This seems like a perfect time for me to get nostalgic about when Dutch Leonard pitched a CGSO and hit a solo homer to beat Koya 1-0 in the Sim II World Series.

Be nice if I had won since then.

As far as I know, just the one in early 2008...THAT I WON.

I have a 1950's and but done with 40's, 1890's and '60's. '80's done too, which is sorta a mixed bag.

Was surprised that 80s wasn't as deep as I thought it'd be.

 

[the moops]

I wonder how a 1800s-only league would do.

we should do a draft where 12 of us in one league draft from a different decade than the other 12. deadball vs steroid or somethin

perhaps someone can convince me to use 1990s chipper over 2008 chipper?

12 teams, 12 decades. We can even lop off the 1880s and 2010s if we want.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Oops I'm up I guess

 

[Brady Marino]

Isn't 1999 his best offensive season?
