Updated Totals:

Batting Totals 5246 4659 234 796 115-41 691-493 19.9 .302 .369 .516 C+/C

Pitching Totals 85-43-31 1,281 2.88 .220 1.12 6.40 2.98 0.67 908-423

My last few pics have been defense oriented, although Pendleton will likely get at least a split of PAs at third, so he will affect those numbers. Milt Thompson will mostly play once I have a lead so I am not too concerned about his offense.

The strategy here is to have my offense get me a lead, keep most of the core offense in for the whole game, and then sub out with defensive replacements. Hopefully the big slugging and HR guys will enable me to do that effectively and even with the defensive replacements, the heart of the order should still be able to manufacture some runs.

Completes the all-Latino catching duo. Good AVG and OBP with not completely useless defense.

I was wondering where he'd go. 60 monster PAs.

"quality" over quantity at this point

I have ten pitchers and 1361 IP, which is just about the bare minimum requirement to field a staff. I'll probably end up drafting another mop-up guy or two, but I haven't had this small of an IP cushion except for the cap league.1,361 3.08 .232 1.16 6.23 2.67 0.69 938-402

[Hoos First]

against teams with no power - you know who you are

I think I will see him a few times

 

[Koya]

I have a D- arm catcher who will threw out about 17% of runners. There is an A guy who throws out something like 26% - Im not sure it is as buge an impact as some think, especially considering 1/2 the impact will be from the runner himself.Only one way to find out!

 

[Koya]

To add upon Eeph's comment - I am just under 1300, will likely draft a guy who is serviceable for 5 or so starts and in long relief / mop up, that should bring me to around 1400 innings pitched. As mentioned, when you are working with such a thin talent pool, cant waste picks on lesser players with more IPs unless you can utilize those innings. Really need to maximize everyone IP and PA here.

You may be right, no clue really, in this setup. Greenwell was going to be my C when I drafted him(D-,D-,D-), but I talked myself out of it.

I think these very small pool leagues are a more effective way of restricting talent than a cap. At this point of a capped draft, we'd be picking minimum salary guys who would be pure roster fodder. The players picked today aren't any great shakes but most should at least be able to make some contribution during the season.

Agree.Heck, my 20th round pick could be my best starter. :cringe:

You guys can put me on auto-skip tomorrow. If SoCal doesn't pick before I go to bed, does anyone mind if I throw my next pick out there to avoid another skip?

RnR can be skipped, so SoCal is up.

TU should be up now

Dammit, I was looking at his partial season stats. Ok, his full season stats are not very good. At least he keeps it in the park, though.

Until the league begins (essentially after everyone signs up for good), you can exit and enter at your leisure, not locked in.

 

[MrPhoenix]

I'll join later tonight for some SIMLIVE.

I'm excited now, but I have a feeling that, once my pitching gets slapped around like Tina Turner, I'm not going to be very happy when I go to bed tonight.
