WIS XV: Alphabet Soup with a side of Salary- Draft & Season Thread (2 Viewers)

[Koya]

Well ####. This guy strikes out way too much and I feel like he is going to annoy me. But I need a 1B and I feel he is the bets of what's left.

24.23 Ryan Howard - 1B

Jebus ... I was wondering.

Any reason why this guy didnt go much earlier?When I decided to wait until the wildcard round for my 1B, I was hoping that Justin Morneau and his really good 348 ABs in 2010, would slide to me. Never thought that Howard and his 58 HRs and 659 SLG and not terrible defense would be there

1B was very deep. His normalized numbers were not necessarily on par with some others iirc and not a letter of scarcity, although not the deepens letter perhaps. Most of all, some really good 1b and OF are going to be undrafted here.

I was scared off by his 31 SO/100AB

His normalized OPS is 8th behind McGqire, Fox, Thome, Aaron, McCovey, Mize and Gentile.

 

[RnR]

It is the strikeouts.

 

[larry_boy_44]

Dane Iorg

 

[the moops]

It is the strikeouts.

Gotcha

 

[RnR]

It is the strikeouts.

Gotcha

That being said, I would've taken him at the front of the WC round had I not already drafted a 2nd 1B in Mo Vaughn.

 

[larry_boy_44]

need a team name...

prefer something in honor of Uecker (being from Milwaukee and all...)

any ideas?

25.17 Jerry Ujdur P

Yeah, he pretty much sucks balls.

I predict 0 IP.

went 19th round in the oso shadow draft

Oh, I stopped 1B was very deep. His normalized numbers were not necessarily on par with some others iirc and not a letter of scarcity, although not the deepens letter perhaps.

Ahh, I must have stopped looking after Gentile. JkConfused Howard with someone else not yet drafted. As I took Hornsby in the first never looked at other H players. My bad

went 19th round in the oso shadow draft

Who does oso think has the best team?

 

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

Dane Iorg

Garth is going to be pissed

 

[larry_boy_44]

oh, and I play live all the time...

I'm fine being in the other league I guess... but I've always played lots of live...

 

[Koya]

25.17 Jerry Ujdur P

Yeah, he pretty much sucks balls.

I predict 0 IP.

I'm expecting 0ip from Zinn. But he should have some decent PAs with a 1.042 OPS. Speaking of which, just how are pitchers handled as batters? Is there a lower limit to PAs to not be negatively affected by lack of appearances?

 

[Eephus]

25.xx Al Unser, C

 

[Pumpnick]

25. Jose DeLeon SP

 

[oso diablo]

Who does oso think has the best team?

oso :rimshot:i didn't track the teams, so no idea.

 

[oso diablo]

when you guys post your team stats, are you posting their raw stats, or their normalized stats? I only see the accumulation of the raw stats in the WIS Draft Center, so i am assuming that is what it is.

 

[Hoos First]

Tom Umphlett

 

[Greco]

Tom Umphlett

Is this a real name?

The quick and easy is raw stats. Some guys may have a working spreadsheet with normalized, otherwise its a pain to get them all in one place.

 

[Koya]

live

 

[Greco]

How do you figure out a normalized stat

 

[Koya]

How do you figire out a normalized stat

In the draft center, assuming you are using advanced search, you use the categories with # next to them. So, AVG# is normalized average.

 

[Hoos First]

How do you figure out a normalized stat

Can click on your players name and hit advanced stats

 

[Kubes]

How do I join the league?

 

[Bogart]

2291 innings.

 

[jfranco77]

How do I join the league?

League # is on page 1 somewhere

Select theme league and enter the pass code in the op

 

[Greco]

Thanks for the normalz info

 

[jfranco77]

remaining picks:

ChemX = N

Shake = U

Jfranco = G

Kraft = N

RNR = N

I think that's right.

 

[Koya]

remaining picks:ChemX = NShake = UJfranco = GKraft = NRNR = NI think that's right.

N totally sucked and surprisingly so. I'd have thought it was a more popular first letter.

 

[jfranco77]

my last pick

25.16 Rich Garces, RP - El Guapo

team would look a lot better if this was Tom Gordon

 

[Kraft...]

remaining picks:ChemX = NShake = UJfranco = GKraft = NRNR = NI think that's right.

X said he wants Tim Naehring, 3BI'll take Ron Northey, OF

Hope some of you non-simmers will sim a little at least.

 

[larry_boy_44]

Oof.Hope some of you non-simmers will sim a little at least.

at least we're in the same division so we can get some live...although I wonder if we have 14 who want to live why we don't just go 7 and 7, that should be more than enough sim live for everyone...

 

[the moops]

Ryan Howard has struck out in 1/2 of his at bats already.

Should have gone with Ripper
