I hope you realize after XV historical plus II Back to the Future leagues that the sim doesn't care about RBIOk, I'll give this a shot.

As a WIS Champion, I know. Not sure why I included RBI honestly.I hope you realize after XV historical plus II Back to the Future leagues that the sim doesn't care about RBIOk, I'll give this a shot.

I had him for his 39IP of 5.08 ERA and 1.744WHIP last season.Scott Diamond 2.62 ERA & 1.177 WHIP in 79 IP
Imagine if Justin Morneau and Espinosa didn't suck.That 2-5 is pretty sickSo i am looking at a batting lineup like this:1. Gerardo Parra (349/433)2. Joe Mauer (417/450)3. Andrew McCutchen (420/636)4. Dexter Fowler (386/539)5. Chipper Jones (401/503)6. Justin Morneau (311/441)7. Danny Espinosa (311/379)8. Zack Cozart (295/405)
If nothing else there should be more trading this time. Lots of teams look short at various positionsI'm looking forward to the wheeling and dealing I'll have to do to convert my 8-man rotation into a better 5-man rotation.
My team's best day was some time during the draftThis could be my team's best day of the season. King Felix with the perfect game and David DeJesus with two HRs (bringing his total for the year to 4).
*10.10 - Melky Cabrera, OF
Cheaters often do.*10.10 - Melky Cabrera, OFhe was raking too

jfranco is hoarding armsI'm going to be a few hundred IP short. Drafted 10 starters (11 if you count Andrew Cashner), and six of them have crap-ped out (7 if you count Cashner) .David Price and Jason Vargas are actually a reasonable 1-2. Then there's a huge drop to Luke Hochevar, Joe Saunders, and Derek Lowe :X Saunders and Lowe won't reach 160 IP.Then after those guys, I have 177 IP -- total -- from four healthy relievers.
Marmol's 8.0 BB/9 should be funI should have a few arms to sell. Travis Wood (107 IP), Jordan Lyles (102.2), and Jeanmar Gomez (73 IP) average over 5 innings per game pitched and provide ERAs in the 5.00 range. Chris Tillman is at 51 starter innings and counting with a 3.71 ERA and could be available. Dylan Axelrod, Carlos Marmol, Fransisco Rodriguez, Mark Rzepczynski, and Rafeal Dolis probably will be available out of the bullpen with ERA's between 4 and 6.50. JJ Hoover was just called up and is 5 innings away from 25 with a 2.70 ERA. If he qualifies, he probably is trade bait.If the rest of my staff stays healthy the last month, all of the above will be available. I would be looking for minor upgrades in my roster. On offense, I could use an upgrade on Escobar at SS and would include him in the trade. A platoon RH 1B with 200 or so PA's would also be useful. I could use a upgrade over Beckham at 2B as well so I can use Lombardozzi in other areas. I guess I could upgrade my pitching staff as well. Currently, the highest ERA on my (if they stay healthy enough to pass 1460) pitching staff is Mat Latos at 3.56.On offense, I could let go of Campana's steals and Clevenger's 174 PA's at C.

Looks like I will be, too.My first 3.5 starters should be really strong with King Felix, Dickey, Wandy and a half-season of Jaime Garcia. But I may have to trade my MI depth for SP instead of RP like I hoped.I will be short several hundred innings at SP...
I'd rather just start a position playerRicky Romero will be available!
There are only 113 player seasons in the entire WIS database with a BB/9 rate higher than 8.0. Tip your cap to the immortal Stu Flythe who walked 61 batters in 42 IP for the 1936 A's (13.96 BB/9). He also had 16 wild pitches and an ERA over 13.Not for the faint of heart.Marmol's 8.0 BB/9 should be funI should have a few arms to sell.

It is just amazing to me that he walks 8 per 9 and he still has a FIP and xFIP under 5.There are only 113 player seasons in the entire WIS database with a BB/9 rate higher than 8.0.

76 years ago tomorrow, Flythe started against the White Sox at Shibe Park. He lasted 3+ innings and walked 11. Here's the box score.
that reminds me of my last pitching appearance (in Little League)There are only 113 player seasons in the entire WIS database with a BB/9 rate higher than 8.0.
