WIS MMXI: Back to the Future Edition- Draft & Season Thread (2 Viewers)

[Kraft...]

There are 5 more rounds in this thing?

 

[RnR]

Make-up 30.04- Chris Carter (OF, OAK)

 

[scoobus]

Brutal D but can fill some 3B PA's in a pinch, at least a solid bench bat who can hit from both sides

30 . 12 ( 708 ) ChemX Wilson Betemit, KC 3B

Think I'm caught up

He was already picked in round 14

Didn't come up in page 1 search Betamit <_<

 

[Kraft...]

RePick

30 . 12 ( 708 ) ChemX - Omar Vizquel Util CWS

Position versatility, switch hitter, hope he hits somewhat like he did last year

 

[belljr]

28.17 Felipe Lopez

29.8 Josh Outman

30.17 Scott Mathieson RP

 

[Sammy3469]

SS/2B Chin Ling Hu, Who?, Mets

This pick is just so I can say, that guy is on my fantasy team for the double switch that happens at the one Mets game I go to this year.

 

[jfranco77]

I missed that we were doing 3 picks yesterday, sorry.

30 . 20 ( 716 ) jfranco77 Jesse Litsch, SP TOR

I'm not sure how he managed to post a 3.1 K/9 last year but hopefully he improves that a bit.

 

[Eephus]

31.04 Fred Lewis - OF

This pick is early. Round 31 doesn't start until 9AM Thursday. Lewis still on the board. I'll post it for the moops at 10AM EDT.

 

[cheese]

30.15 Michael Saunders

He's probably headed to AAA and it's pretty obvious to everyone else that he's a bust, but for some reason I keep holding out hope for this guy to figure it out.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

30.24 Jesus Flores, C NATS (for now)

Is this guy there? My first page searches have been failing me.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Not sure if that 9:30 start was eastern time or not...

 

[Eephus]

Not sure if that 9:30 start was eastern time or not...

Yeah, it's stated in post #3

 

[rodg12]

Not sure if that 9:30 start was eastern time or not...

Pretty sure it's Eastern.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

31.01 - Diory Hernandez, UT ATL

 

[jfranco77]

10:30 31 . 05 ( 725 ) jfranco77

Robinson Chirinos, C TB

I may end up with no backup catcher even though I drafted two, but I'm hoping either Montero or Chirinos gets 50 ABs this season.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

10:30 31 . 05 ( 725 ) jfranco77

Robinson Chirinos, C TB

I may end up with no backup catcher even though I drafted two, but I'm hoping either Montero or Chirinos gets 50 ABs this season.

I bet we'll see a lot of minor trades like that...trading some catcher PAs for a lefty reliever or something similar.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

By my count I have:

3 C

2 1B

2 2B

2 3B

2 SS

5 OF

7 SP

8 RP (1 is deadstras and 1 is in AAA though)

 

[jfranco77]

I have got:

3 catchers

3 first basemen

1 second baseman

3 shortstops

1 third baseman

5 outfielders

8 starting pitchers (though Rzep might now be a reliever)

7 relief pitchers

 

[rodg12]

31.12 - Lou Marson, C, Cle

That gives me...

3 C

3 1B

2 2B

2 SS

3 3B

6 OF

7 SP

5 RP

 

[Sammy3469]

31.02 RP Louis Coleman, Royals, Digging Deep

 

[the moops]

I have

2 catchers

2 first basemen

1 second baseman

1 third baseman

1 shortstop

3 utility guys that can cover 2nd/3rd/SS/OF

5 outfielders

7 starting pitchers

9 relievers

Awesome. Thanks for everyone helping out on that monumental task.BTW, got sniped with Felipe Lopez. I have been looking at him for like 2 weeks now.

 

[Eephus]

Publicly responding to Cheese's PM questions:

======================================================================

2 things I couldn't easily find in the threads...

1. How do the playoffs work for this? How many teams/games?

4 playoff teams/league (3 divisional champs plus 1 WC

) = 8 total

Opening round is best of 5. LCS and WS are best of 7

2. Are we playing for money (outside of fee to buy the team)? I think Moops mentioned throwing in 10 bucks or something. Did we decide on that?

Nothing formal beyond the WIS fees. I'll open an in-season thread next week for roster rankings, trades, etc. If people want to make side bets there, that certainly isn't discouraged.

I think it'll be hard to drive unanimity around any additional prize money, but if someone wants to run with that ball, I'll go along with the majority.

6 SPs7 RPsI look to be light on pitching, crap.

I've got 7 SPs and 5 RPs right now (and that's counting Billy Wagner). I still feel OK about it, though.Everyone we're picking now is a total shot in the dark, so far as I can tell. I did pick up 6 for-sure MLB starters + Pirate prospect Rudy Owens. Hopefully, out of those 7, I can use at least one for credible long relief (especially if someone gets hurt in the summer, but has decent stats).I also have 4 for-sure MLB relievers (not counting Wagner) at the moment. I think Marmol's stats are more or less locked in stone, health willing. What I'm hoping is that the other three for-sure relievers don't put up 30-IP seasons ... need each of those guys in the 60-70 range. If I can get that, feel I only need one late-round RP to break out as a usuable WIS sim RP. If Wagner un-retires and does well for someone, that's gravy.And if I still have holes in the staff? Well ... then I guess I'll have to hammer the phone lines and hope I have some nice trade bait

Fortunately for you, RP is the only position with any depth remaining over the last five rounds.
