WIS XVII - The Cartereaganbush League: Scoobus beats Sammy in the Wis Series (6 Viewers)

[Sammy3469]

I have never won any of these stupid things but according to WIS, I have a career .505 winning percentage

So average  

 

[Sammy3469]

I just looked at EephusSheet.  I’m pretty sure picking last es no bueno.

 

[Greco]

Going completely from memory ... I don't recall ever making it to a WIS Tournament of Champions final, but I believe @FishTacoTuesday and @Greco paired up for a ToC-winning team. One of the early Back-to-the-Future teams, IIRC. Gotta look it up.

In WIS XIV, I did have the distinction of owning/managing both the AL and the NL teams in the same FBG WIS World Series   

This seems like fake news.  I haven’t won a gosh darn thing in any format.

 

[Greco]

I did not write gosh darn, for the record.  I, in fact, took the Lord’s name in vain.

I can take your number

1.2 Dwight Gooden, SP 85/84/86

Seems like the safe pick but not sure how the dice rolls will play out.  

@Greco OTC

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

OMG WE HAVE PICKS

 

[Hoos First]

I had no clue who to take. This 3 seaon dice roll will be difficult.

 

[Dudley Do-Right]

Can't argue with your pick. Schmidt is solid.

 

[Koya]

The clear #1

[Dudley Do-Right]

#### it, I quit.

Could I interest you in a trade that allows you to take advantage of the clear plateaus of this format?

How does your 1st and 25th rounder for my 11th and 12th sound?

LARRY RULE!

Dwight Gooden's life story is pretty much one safe pick after another.

Trades allowed after round 4

 

[Northern Voice]

So, can I Still draft George Brett 77/82/88

 

[Dudley Do-Right]

Shove it, nerd. I know how to win championships here.

ETA: Please don't report me. I'm your only lifeline to RnR and 75 days is a long time to be OTC.

 

[Eephus]

Iron fist

My original reasoning for requiring three eligible seasons was that it mitigated downside risk for players with only one or two eligible seasons, giving them an advantage over players with more than three eligible but less than three usable seasons. 

But now I'm equating people who didn't read the draft rules with those fools circling the state capitol in their Ram pickups.

 

[Greco]

So, can I Still draft George Brett 77/82/88

Oh, great, now I get to doubt myself even harder...

1.4 Rickey Henderson 83/85/90

You farthling piece of stuff

 

[Dudley Do-Right]

The old guy is feisty today. I like it, even if I do drive a Ram pickup and live near a state capitol.

five weeks of shelter-in-place will do that

1.4 Rickey Henderson 83/85/90

This guy knows what he's doing! 

 

[Koya]

LARRY RULE! 

Except even Larry wouldn’t accept an offer as horribly ####ty as that one.

Freakin’ Schmeltz.

We all feel the cabin fever, GB. Hope your fam is doing alright through all this

So I couldn't interest you in my 13th and 14th for your 4th and 25th?

IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RULES.

[scoobus]

Do we need to specify years if just using top 3 seasons on WIS?

 

[Kraft...]

You should specify, just need to order them 1-2-3 for rolling purposes 

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

You should specify, just need to order them 1-2-3 for rolling purposes 

Yeah, at first I listed in historical order and then I switched to order of what I want...not sure what the best move is

 

[Koya]

I guess I've misunderstood.  1993 seasons are not included?

Correct.  Only seasons between 1977-1992 may be used, and only those may count toward the three years of eligibility

 

[Koya]

Yeah, at first I listed in historical order and then I switched to order of what I want...not sure what the best move is

6 or half dozen. Only strategy there is if you want your top season to match or not match other top sessions, and even that assumes that most teams but the “best” option as 1 and/or default to three highest salary years.

1.06 - Wade Boggs, 3B, BOS 87/88/85

 

[rodg12]

@Bogart OTC and texted

 

[rodg12]

We doing a DH?

 

[Bogart]

1.07 - Nolan Ryan  - SP 81/89/77

Really wanted Rickey, my favorite non-Ranger ever, but will gladly take Nolan here. Homer side of me kinda wants the 1989 season, but good with any of the three.

@cheese

 

[Eephus]

Do we ever?

 

[Northern Voice]

@Eephus your post about rules says 77-93, the title of the google doc says 93, but 93 seasons aren't listed.  I, per usual, don't understand.  

Initial intent was not to I think but 93 was a very good year for baseball, put it in IMO. 

 

[Eephus]

@Eephus your post about rules says 77-93, the title of the google doc says 93, but 93 seasons aren't listed.  I, per usual, don't understand.  

It's always been 77-92 (Carter/Reagan/Bush).  It's the period between the Toronto/Seattle and Colorado/Florida expansions.

I deleted the text of the original OP text this morning and mistakenly put 93 in the replacement post for about six hours.  It's been fixed.

Pat Hentgen would still be ineligible

 

[Dudley Do-Right]

Pat Hentgen would still be ineligible

Better known for his work on the 2000 NL Central champion St. Louis Cardinals, anyway. Amirite @Fat Drunk and Stupid?

 

[the moops]

someone pick

 

[Eephus]

Who starts a draft at 4/20 in this economy?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I don't have cheesephone

 

[cheese]

I’m here. Was debating between 2 totally different players but why not...

Barry Bonds 90-92

 

[Sammy3469]

Pretty sure there’s pretty big drop off between at the end of this tier.  Glad I’m picking 24th!
