WIS 2012: Back to the Future II - Draft and Season Thread (2 Viewers)

13.19 Scott Sizemore 3B

Hit above league average after coming to Oakland, hopefully his defense improves in his second season at 3B.
:hot:
Sorry for the snipe. I've been holding my breath since my last pick, since he's the last 3B that wasn't going to make me vomit while selecting.
Same here. So now I'll vomit as I select...13.20 Danny Valencia, 3B :X
Only 32 more rounds to go

Wasn't looking at Koji, but should have.

14.7 - Scott Feldman -SP/RP

Basically the same as Matt Harrison. Will get his innings, just not sure at what part of the game.

 
i found that hardcore Rangers fan hate Uehara. i don't get it. he should have been on the post-season roster. would have been nice to see him pitching in the late innings of game 6.
case in point... this is a blog post by local media from yesterday, talking about Uehara no longer being on the trade market:
He was a huge disappointment in 2011 after being acquired from the Baltimore Orioles at the trade deadline. He was no better than average in his regular-season appearances with Texas and downright awful in the postseason, compiling a postseason ERA of 33.75 before being left off the World Series roster.
Uehara pitched 18 regular season innings for Texas. He had a WHIP of 0.78, with 23 strikeouts and only 1 walk. Yes, he gave up 5 homers, a rate more than double his career average.In the post-season, he had 3 appearances, with a total of 35 pitches. Yes, he gave up a HR in each of those 3 appearances, but talk about small sample sizes.
 
14.08 Sean Marshall - RP

premier left-handed reliever
Welcome to the graveyard of the Great American bullpen.
what does this mean? worse than Wrigley? something about the manager?
1. Complaining like usual about the Reds attempt at "pitching".2. Yes

3. Yes

Hopefully, he does great though. I don't know the kid that well, but we need someone to actually produce down there for more than a month at a time. We have guys flame out constantly out there. A lot of those flame outs were trade acquisitions or big prospects that were highly regarded when we got them. It probably means nothing, but middle relief has been a wasteland for 2 decades despite a constant focus in that area by the GMs.

ETA: Thanks for making me relive horrific memories of Rael Cormier, Mike Lincoln, Ryan Wagner, Gary Majewski, Eddie Guardado, and many more being brought in to save our bullpen problems.

Relievers are especially vulnerable to SSS swings.

Marshall's allowed 4 HR in 150 IP over the last 2 seasons, with Wrigley as his home park. He should be able to handle himself in Cincy.

A couple of bad outings can make a reliever unusable in the sim.
