WIS 2012: Back to the Future II - Draft and Season Thread (3 Viewers)

[Spartans Rule]

Wrigley Field

 

[oso diablo]

2.5 Prince Fielder, 1B

SP run means the value is in offense right now.

great value here, assuming he doesn't DH and kill his defensive rating

 

[Eephus]

2.5 Prince Fielder, 1B

SP run means the value is in offense right now.

Or is that just what Eephus wants you to think...

What I really want is for people to pick their stadiums

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

2.6 Mike Stanton OF

Was going to be my pick. I can tell already that picking before and after Sparty is going to be fun.

 

[cheese]

Ya, I'm surprised so many passed on Fielder. I thought he was the last member of the top tier of hitters. I think he'll at least play some 1st to get a real rating.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I'd mock taking a 1B this early, but then again my 1Bs were Daric Barton and Dan Johnson last year.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I had such high hopes for Barton.

I had such high hopes for Barton.

120 OPS+ in 2010. Played hurt all of 2011. Oakland has the pu pu platter of outfielders and corner infielders this year. Somebody will turn out to be a good fantasy value but nobody knows who it'll be.

It was late and I was going for D and a little obp. The awesome thing is he managed to make like 7 errors in 220 ABs too.

 

[scoobus]

I'm on Pacific Time in case I come up tomorrow morning.

 

[Bogart]

At hospital on their really kick ### waiting room computer, give me 5 minutes.

 

[Bogart]

Screw it, I'm taking the gamble that his suspension is overturned:

2.07 - Ryan Braun - OF

And if's it's not, I will gladly take 112 games of what he did last year. I can work with his rest to make it work. No risk, no reward.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figured I would be reaching in the third (and was considering waiting for the 4th)...

2.08 Andrew McCutchen - CF

[Hoos First]

Heaven help me.

CJ Wilson

also Angel Stadium

 

[oso diablo]

Park: Nationals Park

 

[Kraft...]

2.10 - Curtis Granderson, OF NYY

Citizens Bank Park

 

[Spartans Rule]

I was torn between Prince and Granderson. I don't think Granderson drops off much from last year. He's realized that a popup to 1B in Comerica is a home run in NY and he'll keep exploiting it.

 

[Bogart]

Rangers Ballpark in Arlington

 

[Doug B]

Forgot to pick my stadium when I took Price. Let's try a pitching park for once:

Busch Stadium (II), St Louis

This does not make me feel good about the pick.

I was really thinking I'd take him at 3.06 if he was there. I figure that he will get 400-450 PA, and I should be able to find a decent platoon partner for him in the next 42 rounds.

Still not helping. That just says I took him 23 picks too early.Interesting that the person that I almost took in the first instead of Kinsler, and the person that I had typed in for 5 minutes before picking Braun is still out there. Maybe I still don't know how to play this game at all.

Was Braun ever in the Rangers organization?

Nope. Probably my biggest mistake in taking him.

Heaven help me.CJ Wilsonalso Angel Stadium

Your team is dominating the "extremely egotistic Tweets" category. You are lapping the field and probably can't be caught.

I assumed 2011 only

 

[oso diablo]

carlos santana, c - sicks' stadium

2011/12 stadiums only? or any stadium allowed?

i assumed it was current stadiums only (like last year was). if not, i may want to change my selection.

 

[Chemical X]

if i can't use sicks', change it to new shea stadium aka ####ty field.

It was only current ball parks last year and same this year. Eephus didn't mention it in the OP but he did make a comment about stadium scarcity in the thread.

 

[Eephus]

I assumed 2011 only

2012 stadiums only. SCBF picked the new Marlins Park. If it's not in the database come October, he'll have to fall back to Joe Robbie/Dolphin/ProPlayer.
