WIS XV: Alphabet Soup with a side of Salary- Draft & Season Thread (1 Viewer)

[Bogart]

I will make my two picks in the morning. I left all my list at work, and too tired to think about it at this point.

 

[Kubes]

23.06 - Zack Wheat, OF

They based Ghost on him.

So he's fingered Demi Moore?

and more

 

[Kubes]

1. SS Derek Jeter R .349/438/552

Ha ha you have Derek Jeter.sorry TU

WIS XV: Alphabet Soup with a side of Salary

Official rules

Players whose last names begin with Z,I,Q MAY NOT be drafted in the wild card round.

This seems like unnecessary regulation

Can't draft X either. Deal with it.

[Hoos First]

Chuck Knoblauch

Humberto Quintero

There are only 27 possible QI picks. You don't think someone might waste a bench spot in order to prevent someone from having a valid roster? I don't think so but better safe than sorry

Would my first born to be named later be an acceptable starting point?

 

[Brady Marino]

Delmon Young, OF

Not the first man to draft the inferior brother if they can't get the superior one. #IgotthefirstUpton

 

[jfranco77]

Are we gonna start the free for all 24th round at a certain time? Seems appropriate.

24th is not free for all. 25th probably can't be either since 1/3 of the people need to draft Us.

jfranco --- on deck

SCBF --- in the hole

What about a 15 minute clock?

For round 25... yes.I think we need to be careful with the WC round. 30-min clock is fine, people might really need those picks so they should show up if they care.

 

[Bogart]

22.524 - Joe Kuhel - 1B

Lefty bat off the bench, and now Wieters doesn't have to worry about bringing a 1B glove to the park. Not much pop, but I like the Avg and OBP, to go along with B/A- defense.

EDIT: formatting

EDITx2: Plus how cool of a name is that. And he is a Senator, which pretty much makes him a Ranger.

Harrible

 

[Bogart]

23.533 - Paul Lindblad - RP

Because drafting left handed Senators is fun!! Similar numbers to Tommy John, just not as many innings.

 

[Bogart]

That leaves me with WC and 'A' left. I feel much shtick coming on.

Mainly because I don't want to think about looking at the entire alphabet anymore.

 

[Greco]

23.15 Buck O'Brien, RP

51 inning of 0.00 hr/9. Let's not talk of the other numbers.

 

[Koya]

23.15 Buck O'Brien, RP

51 inning of 0.00 hr/9. Let's not talk of the other numbers.

He was on my O' list (though the guy ahead of him is still there )And the other numbers while not great arent terrible and he could start for ya in a pinch IIRC.

3.97BB/9 is a bit alarming in this formatTM

 

[jfranco77]

23.16 Bubbles Hargrave

I mean, come on, his name is Bubbles!

Normalized line of 320/412/515 and A+ arm... good backup catcher and won't kill me as a PH

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Leave it to larry to put an extra LH batter in against LH pitching.

And all in a row too. Genius! loloolol

I don't care if I pull a belljr and lose 100+ games, I really like my team and it's going to be fun to see what they do.

[jfranco77]

Maybe I should just go all out for power? Debating which Papi season to use:

2007: 327/440/601 with 35 HR (and 52 doubles)

2006: 280/407/609 with 52 HR (and 29 doubles)

Normally I wouldn't think the power was worth it, but in a park that's +3 for HR, I wonder if he could make up the difference in OBP.

Well, if you planned poorly, then yes.J/K - I was very jealous of that first pick until I realized the person I was targeting had already been taken rounds ago... upon further review there are a few options, but I am fourth so one will fall.

I thought a high pick in the wild card round would be a bigger advantage than it turned out to be. There's still some excellent talent available but it's at deep positions where the marginal improvement won't be great for most teams. I'll be making a need pick at 24.02 who isn't anywhere near the BPA. But there will definitely be some sniping (and mooping about it) further down the draft order.
