WIS MMXI: Back to the Future Edition- Draft & Season Thread (3 Viewers)

[larry_boy_44]

why'd I get skipped? I'm caught up, have only been skipped once or twice in this whole draft, and its been like 5 minutes since the last pick...

edit: ok, its been like 20 minutes... but still...

 

[larry_boy_44]

IF Craig Counsell

defensive replacement, he's likely to get ratings at 3B, SS, and 2B... he'll be able to backup all three of those spots for me...

its cool, I was just wondering if there was a reason... I was planning on picking Counsell either way (and figured no one else in their right mind would want him lol)

What happened to him in 2010? He has no 2010 WIS stats.

exclusively a DH in 2010 (probably the same in 2011). He wasn't much of a fielder to begin with and he's had chronic shoulder problems in recent years.

[Doug B]

Went over and checked in the WIS Draft Center ... you can only find Hafner is you select All positions, 0 games, and check OFF Secondary Positions. I had Sec Positions ON when making my lists.Can't recall seeing guys with absolutely no defensive rating anywhere before. I thought DHs typically got D/D- at 1B or OF.

Put me on AUTOSKIP for the weekend. I'm leaving all of my lists at work. If I happen to be on, I will make a pick.

Most DHs get a RL game or two at a position, especially with interleague play. Pronk is unique in that he's physically incapable of playing the field as opposed to just being bad at it.

We held a private workout with him and he looks good to go at first base.

 

[Doug B]

I can't believe players make it to the majors being unable to play the field somewhere.

 

[Spartans Rule]

I can't believe players make it to the majors being unable to play the field somewhere.

In his prime from 2004-2006, Hafner did 311/410/583, 305/408/595 and 308/439/659.That's about how well you have to hit to get a job without even being able to play 1B.

 

[Doug B]

Out of curiosity, what's happened when Hafner has played the field? He's played 72 career games at 1B, with a .989 FLD%. I guess that's crummy at 1B?

The other defensive stats I can't make heads or tails of in a vacuum ... they might show that he's a virtual statue out there

He messed up his right shoulder a few years ago and can't throw anymore. He missed some time last season w/ problems to that same shoulder.

Doug B timed out at xx53

SNC was arequested autoskip (I think)

NV was emailed at xx27, which I'm going to use as his clock start

Bogart requested autoskip until Monday

So Bobucarow is OTC to xx27 which ends the weekday clock

Extended weekend rules apply after that

looking to kill some time between picks? just noticed something at baseball reference. they have a tool to compare players, and then vote for which one you think is/was better.

About now seems fine for him. There's a lot about him I don't like and there are other pitchers out there I'd rather have.
