WIS XVII - The Cartereaganbush League: Scoobus beats Sammy in the Wis Series (3 Viewers)

[Chemical X]

I wanted Willie  The first couple world series I remember watching were 84 and 85. Willie raked in that 85 post season, led to me collecting his baseball cards. 

i had willie just behind butler due to OBP.  also, shea has real grass.

 

[Chemical X]

I think I had this exact team at in one of these Sims with Ozzie, Wilson, and Otis and their A/A+ ranges in the Astrodome (I think I had Dodger stadium when I did it last time).  

It's a <bad> strategy  

Mets deal Amos Otis + to Royals for Joe Foy.  Almost Ryan for Fregosiesque.

Obligatory link.

Definitely takes the sting away from not getting a top tier season from Mike Scott (or Sutton).

800 IP and counting...

 @HellToupee

 

[Koya]

We've seen runs before (and shtickingly have called them a million other times), but we've seen a 13 person pitcher run, and we are currently on ANOTHER 6 pitcher run.   19 out of the last 22 picks have been pitchers.

Wow. (there are actually a few decent options still available even, though we are getting close to a point of tempered expectations unless you get lucky with a roll)

 

[Koya]

Anyone have HellToupee phone? I know he's crazy busy

grrrrrrrr

 

[rodg12]

So, my decision to wait another round for my first SP is going....not well.

:trainwreck:

Will the Thrill Clark 1B 89-88-91

Terrible pitcher, but not much left.

Seriously, really solid pick - hope you are hanging in there GB.

 

[Dungeon Master]

I will be rooting for a 3 this round. Not only one of the best hitters left, but incredibly consistent:

Fred McGriff, 1B, 1992-1990-1989

 

[Kraft...]

We looking at an eleven 1B in a row run now?

Really really really was hoping he’d be there.   Give the kid a time out for me.

I'll cuff him upside the head for you

 

[jfranco77]

Halfway through round 4 I think I've finally got a rating system that is reasonable. Better for pitchers than hitters, and they're on different scales so I don't know how to compare pitchers vs. hitters. But it's something.

 

[Greco]

I'll cuff him upside the head for you

Old skool.   I dig it.

 

[jfranco77]

Sounds made up and completely arbitrary.

All the best systems are

[Koya]

Was looking to go another direction (and yes, even thought about another starter), but there's been a mini run and this guy has been at the top of my CF list for a bit.

Chet Lemon CF - working on years, some debate there.

@scoobus

I was real close to picking him. In my deep dive I was trying to figure out why his RC27s were lower than I thought they'd be and I think it's because he's the world's worst base stealer - 43% career success rate despite being pretty fast.

Still a really good pick though.

Wow!  Yeah, I'll have him set to DON'T ####### STEAL. So never figured into my calculations.

Ironically, looks like I will leave off his highest or second highest salary season. Debate between a few more errors to get a higher OBP, as just about everything else is equal.

3.9 Pedro Guerrero 85, 82, 87

Tudor and Eckersley were the big dice roll winners in round 3 but Guerrero's not far behind. 82 and 87 were nice hitting seasons with gross defense. 85 is an even better offensive year and you get A range at 3rd.

I'm curious how Eck's 1977 SP season would have played out in this format.  The homers would be a problem but might not get punished as badly by the offenses he'd face.  1.08 normalized WHIP is much better than either pitcher I've drafted.

If he made it back to me, I was going to pull the trigger even without a pitcher.

He’ll post years later.

Yes almost put that season as my #2

 

[Eephus]

I rolled another two so we'll have a two hour clock starting on Monday.

Clock runs from 10AM-8PM Eastern.  As usual, if you're on the clock at 8PM you can still be skipped that night.
