Dawson went as the 1st pick for the 3rd time in a row. Same with DaEvans going as #3. This is the first time that Baylor has gone 6th (2005 - 8, 2006 - 9). McGwire went 2nd for the second draft in a row as well as Jacksn going 4th. Shooty(06) and now Alec took Mcgwire, and Ted took Reggie for his second draft in a row even though Jackson farted him last season until he was traded to the Dark Side.
I'm curious why Shooty and Alec took McGwire #2. Is it his infield ability?
Out of the top seven players Big Mac ranks: Power - 5th; Speed - 5th; Contact - 2nd
Shooty has a hard on for McGwire. McGwire played for him last year. He got off to a really slow start last year.
Baylor had a horrible year last year btw...and Reggie was traded twice last year lol
but McGwire taken second does puzzle me. According to my scouting report, we don't have him in the top five for hitting.
aaaaaand that was the highest tony armas has ever been picked.
16th - 06
10th - 05
also, do you have proxy picks for re-peat? otherwise this could be a long wait.
no proxy pics from Re-Peat...damn! I just assumed that he'd be up with the early crew dee nee like he normally is...prolly is in school at the cafeteria or something.
Tony Armas was a good call. The dude fuckin lit it up last year for GDavis...especially against me in the world series.
So far... I'm happy with the players still left. I doubt Re-Peat will take the player that I desperately want.
What are the rules here?
Are we drafting 4 outfielders and 4 infielders? Or do we need a catcher?
Anyone know?
from darky's post:
- The draft will consist of 16 rounds. Your starting line-up must consist of 1 C, 4 IFs and 3 OFs. Your pitching staff must have 2 SP and 2 RP. You will have four additional bench players of any position.
we are NOT doing positions such as SS, 1B, RF etc. Only IF/OF, C

I'm assuming we can draft Arcade RBIers?
I can't wait to see who takes A-Rod.
Where the fuck is Re-Peat? Must be buffet day at the school cafeteria...
I wonder which pitcher will be taken first....
Doc Gooden, forget about it TBG...lol
i have my plans, but i'm not revealing which round it will begin.
Can you talk more about the pitching rule for this season? if SP1 is not available to start for the next game, can we bring him in second or does he end up fourth on the list for pitchers in the ROM for that game?

Yeah, I agree that Mac seems a bit overrated. He's great, no question, but he hasn't been the fantasy star that the Hawk has. I wonder if his bench presence on the original game artificially inflates his value (because he gets the big power boost his first time up)... I think the same thing tends to happen with Armas as well.
Baylor is solid... I've had him on my teams two or three times, and he's always done well for me.
i'm only tallying draft picks for fantasy RBI leagues, not including the arcade one. and not the very first season (02-03??)...before my time. the only breakdowns i don't have are for the first season i played (and won) i believe in 2004. i did a lot of notes by hand that year on my excel printouts and so i'm not sure of all that info, or if i even have it anymore.
I think the first one you won was the original (beating me in the Series), so I don't think there was one that predated you.
For some reason I was thinking there had been more than three of these (not counting Stock's or the one that included arcade guys), but I could very easily be wrong about that.
i'm pretty sure there's one that pre-dates me. natty gan would know.
i'm interested to how far owners will drop down for the top tier catchers and leadoff men (please don't name names).
from my data rankings:
top two leadoff-syle guys: drafters dropped an average of 20!! spots to pick them up.
top 4 catchers: owners dropped an average of 5-10 spots to acquire these rare commodities, according to my rankings.
Do you have some sort of ranking algorithm you're using, or are you ranking them by power ratings, or what?
extreme nerdery in here, and I love it!
my personal rankings are according to an algorithm. with my analysis here i will note which system i'm using when i discuss player rankings versus just the power number from the ROM (aka raw power).
Wow, I wish I had an algorithm.
i'd be interested to talk about draft strategy and algorithms some time in the offseason. especially with stat guys like ultimate, stock, shooty, and beef. and with fighton since he ran two leagues and watched a lot of games.
the most mysterious, of course, is the pitching.

I think I thought he was an OF at the time for some reason. I know there were some position errors on the spreadsheet that went out, so Evans might have been considered an OF at the time. I don't see why I would have picked McGwire over Evans if they were both IF eligible.

Actually, I found my old draft spreadsheet and I had Dawson #1, Canseco #2, McGwire as #3, Evans as #6 based on my calculation that weighted power, contact and speed. Then I bumped up IFs a bit due to position scarcity.
I penalized Evans a bit for shitty speed as the CPU usually makes dumb running decisions.
if it's true that there were some errors on the fantasy draft sheet, i'd like to know who it is. we need to make sure all this info is accurate.

Maybe there wasn't. I recall Ryno drafting Pedro as a 1B or something. Maybe I'm wrong.
the speed problem is somewhat of a quandry. we would naturally assume that faster speed is always better, but slow speed isn't always a negative. there are some cases when a slower player wouldn't be past the "point of no return" since he's slower, and thus able to retreat safely back to a base without being thrown out trying to advance.
we've been over pedro before. he is one of the contested players, but it has been agreed for a few years that he should be an OF.
I have my own algorithms for position players and pitchers. It's a sound system, as I proved last year by taking Ryno's paper airplane and turning it into a space shuttle.
However, GDavis had a sound approach last year....anybody know his approach? It was cutting edge yet so primal at the same time. Hats off to him.
I'd like to know too, I'm going off the sheet
yeah, i think gdavis tried to pick my team from 04, that's what he did. haha.

I have poured over the stats as much as anyone. As long as none of us draft like complete idiots (Attez), all teams will be so close in offensive value that it's basically a wash. Pitchers and the pitching Unknowns are the big intangible. In my opinion these leagues are fun, but obviously come down to 95% luck.

I like to call it "reducing the odds". I'd say 70-80 percent luck. It's more mental and technical than you think. Thoughts are powerful, as is the Force. Controlling or shifting the Force is an inherent skill.
Interesting consecutive picks coming up for the Sally Cunts...
I just pick players I like
I pick players to play Empire heads up style ball.
Speed is a good attribute. The players about +140 speed are able to use their speed as an above average asset, despite the computer's lunacy when running the bases. Not that far above average like the power-contact algorithm...I should say.
I really don't like players with low contact numbers, high power ratings, and no speed. I will not tolerate double plays.
Sometimes in the past when I'd be debating between certain players I'd make up teams full of them and have them play a game, the winner got the nod.
tbg is really ancy about this shit.
yes, i am antsy about it. it's just about the only thing in RBI that i'm good at. i get a little bit like ultimate7 with fantasy drafts.
you should see my spreadsheet/stat compiling i do to break all this down.
via pm
Jim Rice goes to the Empire. My second pick was a tough decision, but I am very satisfied with my pick. Jim Rice is as steady as they come in this league. He is an Empire type player and should fit in really well in our program.
Nacho and Mike D taking Straw and E.Davis=bad move
Childhood friends on the same team is a disaster waiting to happen.
the other thing about the sallycunts move is that they didn't select Hrbek who is usually the turnaround pick at #11 in the past drafts. he fell to 13, the lowest he's ever gone.

He's over rated. He hit under .400 last year and had only 7 bombs with 13 rbi. Too inconsistent, though he did have 19 bombs and hit over .600 in season II I think.
However, I think an 18 game season would be to his benefit.

They ramped up steroid testing and he had a bad year. Now that A-Rod has made it cool to do roids again Hrbek's back on the juice and he'll be at peak performance.

Ryno has the next pick, so I'll give him a little while to do it himself, but he did proxy me his pick in case he had to be away. So I'll post it no later than 30 minutes from now...or sooner if you guys want.
I have the next pick after ryno, but i can wait a half hour. I'd rather have the person make the pick for themself, at least at this early juncture.
Gotchya TBG...
About Ultimate's pick of Raines...great pick. He was not high on my list though...
Damn... Gibson is gone, though I am not saying he was 100 percent my next pick. Nice call Ryno. He did have a solid year last year. Hit almost .600 and had 7 jacks.
i'll make my selection with the next ten minutes.
I'm gonna be gone for the better part of this evening and most of the day tomorrow, would someone mind texting me when I'm up and I'll be able to get back pretty quickly?

I'm against proxying, doesn't allow to change strategies when a run on pitchers start.

but when he's on, he fuckin rakes.
I'm still in good shape, got my players still danglin around. The Thrill was not at the top our scouting reports...he played for the Empire last year...dude thought he was all that. Like he had over 900 for power. He's not an Empire player and does not fit in our program.

i'm out pretty much all day tomorrow --- 11:00 til 7:00 CST. If we're going to draft tomorrow, I can send in picks.

I'll send Darky the guy who's #1 on my draft board right now, but it's doubtful that he'll drop to me.
Almost as doubtful as the draft being up to my pick by the time I get back tonight...
i know i'm the retarded backwoods yokel, but wouldn't it be a good idea to send darky a list ?
If I'm 3 picks out, I send darky 4 names (in order of how I'd want them). That way, I pretty much get who I want.
Proxies typically suck, but are a necessary evil of these kind of drafts.
ryno, you have a pretty good idea, but there are some rounds where things can go haywire, like the tim raines pick is always touchy. also once pitchers start going, a lot of people have different philosophies on that. in my opinion, rounds 1-6 are very crucial. pretty much you can proxy round 1 and MAYBE 2, but after that things get dicey as far as Raines/other leadoff men, and pitchers/catchers.
then be prepared to be pissed off at me next week. . . .. classes from 7:30 til 7:00 and no internet access til the evening.
you could possibly team up with someone else to work the draft with you.
i'm not saying you can't or shouldn't proxy. there are some positions such as beef right here with #20,21 where he could easily proxy those. pretty much any time you start a round, it's a very strong position to start a run on whatever you feel is valuable.
Beef was not in a good position to proxy when he was last logged on...
If anyone is within 1-2 moves, then proxies make sense, where ever you are in the draft.
I'll get Darky some player rankings and draft strategies
Quote from: ultimate7 on 03/28/09, 08:15:40 PM
I picked Raines too early
not necessarily... yes or no
you took raines 15th overall. in the past he's gone 16th and 13th. historically, you're right in the sweet spot. i guess a lot of it depends how you pick the next few rounds and who you surround him with. we've all seen what raines can do in the fantasy leagues and he is quite a spark in the leadoff role. at 146 speed he'll steal a couple bags on the rare occasion he hits asingle or walks and he's a lefty for whatever that's worth.
Raines:
Raw Power - 42nd overall
Contact - in the top 3rd (top 33%, almost everyone is under 30, he has 11)
Speed - 2nd overall
statistically he's not ranked very high (I have him barely cracking the top 30), but there always seems to be a high demand for such a guy with as close to 5 tools as you're gonna get in RBI. other simillar players don't quite fit the same way as naturally as Raines does in the leadoff spot. Well-balanced players such as Baylor, Straw/Davis, Gibson all have too much power to waste them at the top of the order when you might want those guys to drive in runs. Raines has just enough power to keep him from being a run producer (2,3,4), and his amazing speed perfectly places him as a leadoff man.
The only other guy close is Burks and he's sort of an anamoly as well, but he can only be used as a leadoff man with sufficient power to back him up. One other guy close to Raines in the leadoff position hasn't been picked yet, but his speed isn't close. Everybody else in my leadoff man rankings are a poor man's version of Raines. Simply, there's no player like him in RBI.
GDavis had Jorge Bell in the leadoff spot last year.
Bell's numbers were impressive coming from the leadoff spot. .576 with 12 jacks and was top 3 in runs.
The leadoff spot should go to somebody who can hit for average, has some power and get on base to set the table for the top of the lineup. Speed is over rated in my book for the lead off role.
TBG, I just caused chaos to your algorithms...
Raines was a good call in my book. He's usually productive.
and so you contradict yourself.
did i not say Raines was somewhat of a conundrum? my algorithm has him ranked in the top 30, yet i can see him taken as early as the second round.
my algorithms don't always reflect how the players are drafted, they are used to compare players to eachother.

Yet the Milwaukee Brewers will NOT give up on Rickie "I'm the worst leadoff man ever" Weeks. The only person on that team worse suited for #1 than Weeks is Prince Fielder in my opinion. Corey Hart was an animal at #1 a couple years back, and while you might be "wasting" some power there, like Tim Raines he's not an overpowering guy anyways so who cares?

I think guys like Raines and Burks are usually overvalued for a very simple and obvious X factor that neither of you have touched on yet.
They are easily the most fun guys to play with in RBI, so people think more highly of them than their pure numbers would justify.
At least, that's how I feel. I love that you can blast some good HRs with them, but even if you don't get a jack you can beat out a lot of infield throws and get really aggressive on the base paths. They're just fun.
Fielder has put up OBP of .395 and .372 the past two years --- that's prime lead off stuff. . . . . he's the best hitter on the team and would get the most AB's if hitting leadoff.
Not that I'd hit him there, but there is the school of thought that you put your best hitter 1st and let him get more ABs. . . . .
Cory Hart looks to be about the worst option for Lead Off other than Bill Hall.
Re-Peat, are you really Dusty Baker?
Oh, Raines is fkn awesome and I was trying to think of who I wanted more --- Raines or Gibson. It didn't make a difference, but I chose Gibson. . . . more power. . . .power is king.

Prince isn't a bad option because he's got a weak bat, he's a bad option because he's got the most power on the team and you need to have some baserunners for him to drive in.
He didn't look that great in 2008, but he was doing damn well in the leadoff slot back in 07.
I couldn't say why (because his OBP really is decent) but I feel like everytime I watch a Brewers game Weeks is striking out all the damn time, and that drives me nuts.

You were very grey area'ish about him...yes and no?
I said it was a good call taken Raines that early. It's not going to hurt taking Raines 15th overall if you look at the offensive stats for the top 15 in whatever category you wanna choose.
Our high level scouts have him in the top 15 for Fantasy Style, and #1 for regular play...if we did a draft for regular play, I'd take him #1.
So when does Beefy's time run up? What happens when it does?

I think Beef has always been an upstanding member and there was never any kind of time limit discussed with the exception of "no more than two rounds per day", so, he should get as long as he wants, worst case scenario he'll be on tonight.
That said, I'll be gone till the evening, so I'll email Re-Peat my proxies (I don't have Darky's email).
You know my email address?

You may begin the draft, but it officially starts tomorrow at noon EST. There is no time limit to draft your players. Be responsible and let's run this on autopilot. Do not force me to make haste decisions if you wait longer than 2 days. Proxy me your picks if you are going to be not available this weekend. No more than 2 rounds in one day will take place. - taken from the OP in the official draft thread.

How am I overruled if you are supposed to wait two days before "making a decision"? The weekend is two days.
plus I said two days is the deadline before haste decisions are made by the Galactic Empire...
i vote that we wait for beef. for the sake of the integrity of the draft. he has a crucial turnaround pick and i wouldn't want to override his plan.
i think alec should be commended for faithfully staying around all weekend waiting for beef, he's done a heck of a job being here in the off chance beef returns to make a pick at any time. well done, sir.
the two day wait would be monday morning.
only thing I'd change is the thing about no more than 2 rounds in one day.
If everyone is on board, let's knock this shit out.

Accepted...if it can actually happen.
I've been on basically ever since my last pick except for when I was asleep. In 2 hours, I'll be starting a 5+ hour road trip.
Therefore I am willing to bet that beef posts his picks in roughly 2 hours and 10 minutes

Will you have internet access after said road trip?
Yes I will. I can give a one pick proxy in the meantime, but if he picks that it'll really depend on what he does and how stupid I'm feeling.
proxy sounds cool. If he picks your guy, then we'll wait. And I do appreciate your patience.
who can be online at 8:00 CST tonight?

Nacho's roto draft is happening at 7:30 tonight.
And I don't think I'll even be making that.
i can be on at 8cst. right now i'm leaving and i should be back by 4pm eastern.
I'm at my local bar gearing up for a live fantasy draft, but still checking in.
me=dedication.
Apologies for missing so long, guys - I wasn't online at all yesterday and didn't think about the idea that maybe we'd get through full round and a half in my absence. Thanks for waiting (even though I fucked up my pick once I finally made it).
Don't worry about it. We get overanxious. It's nice to get through these things fast, but we should deal with that ourselves rather than insist that everyone check their internets every five minutes to see how the draft is progressing.

This was relatively accurate.
Quote from: Attezz on 03/29/09, 11:18:55 AM
That said, I'll be gone till the evening, so I'll email Re-Peat my proxies (I don't have Darky's email).
I've got Attezz's proxy ready as soon as Darky puts Alec's pick up, assuming his proxy wasn't picked by Beefy.
come on, alec. come back and pick, buddy.
does anyone have AOL messenger? i think his s/n is on his profile. let's keep it moving :)

He sent Darky 1 proxy pick. If it was Carter or Schmidt then we'll have to wait about 4-5 hours for him.
Attezz (after him) is also out tonight but he sent me proxies that will be available.
i thought alec said he'd have access to the internets? also, if someone can message him right now, it would be great.

I'm unloading my stuff, Carter was my proxy, I will make a pick in like 15 minutes
Glad you had a safe trip, alec.
Darky has Ryno's proxies, so i guess we have to wait for him or ryno to come back on. could be a few hours, right?
ryno, ultimate, then nomaaa
get ready, guys
get a job.

i thought nomaaa was gonna pick when he was here a couple hours ago...
maybe he'll be back sometime tonight. ??
Ryno, you tried pushing that long ball shit when you were with the Empire...you tried pushing Lindeman over Dykstra....lol
nomaaa is prolly in MikeD's basement with the gimp...
I'm going back to bed...
Based on this discussion, I'm pretty sure I know who Darky will draft next (if he is still there), and it scares me because I want him.
I am getting close to turning in for the evening. I'll check in tomorrow morning but Mondays are busy and I might be out and offline from 10am to 10pm solid. Just so you all know not to bother checking in too much if we can't get past my picks...
holy cow, nomaaa's on.
wait for it....................

Yes. (http://nightwulf.rbicentral.com/rbi-editor/)
thanks dude
nomaaa, did you need the spreadsheet or any other info?
I've PM'd Mike D. about my take on where we should go with our next picks. I'd be ready to make them as soon as Darky drafts, but I think I'll have to hear back from him before moving forward with them.
i should be able to check back as early as 10AM eastern.
I will be back in the morning to assess the situation.
Also: Darky, you are going to attach the rom when it's done, right? I'd love to have it so please do! If you want I'd even make the rom myself.
My pick will be up shortly...

Do make your next pick within an hour...and why isn't Mike D involved more? Are you his general manager? lol
And the draft is going perfectly for The Empire...we got the heads up ball players that our scouting reports have suggested. Suckers...

Donnie Baseball babyee...and I won't demand him to get a haircut. Empire style player babyee!!!! I'm killin it this draft...
(http://lesterslegends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/don-mattingly.jpg)
That was a good pickup. you got a lefty that you needed and arguably a top ten infielder in the third round.
don't get cocky.
also, do you have proxies for re-peat? he said he'd not be online from 10am-10pm today. i assume he meant eastern time, although he's in central.
Yeah, Darky likes guys who can play with some Empire style balls
No proxies from Re-Peat...in the last page, he said he'd be out from 10am to 10pm solid...was he going by dee nee time or EST...or his time zone (wtf time zone is WI in?)
Not getting cocky TBG, just excited.

don't know if I caught that? Now I am lol...
i'll stay here for another 15 mins, but then i'm gonna go swim... i'll be back by noon eastern.
He's online right now so by the time I post this I expect a pick
DANGIT
re-peat took jeff leonard. i expected him to get an infielder or catcher.
leonard was a n ice sleeper still sitting up so high. surprised darky didn't take him, although the empire needed a lefty and infielder more, i guess.

Leonard is one of my favorite players, in spite of not really having top tier numbers he's still a solid all around player.
He'll do Team Smegma proud.

Oh be happy Re-Peat, you got the best fantasy player in the game (imo)...J.Bell
He already is hitting over .600 with 20 jacks. He fuckin exploded in the Fantasy World Series against me. The dude hit 5 jacks in one game. Unprecedented terror he went on.
Still don't know why he does not go #1.
And Leonard is awesome in regular RBI play. He's helped me win a lot of RBI tourneys..

Don't get me wrong... I feel good about who I've taken and where. I think I've done a solid job so far, it's just that I felt like I'd get one of those 3 top tier IFs on that round because there were only 4 picks on the turnaround, so I was pretty disappointed when they weren't there.
But yeah, I'm fully confident Leonard was the next best available.
I'm assuming Nomaaa and Ryno will be hit or miss today, so i'm going to the gym and i'll be back around 12:30pm eastern.
no proxies, this is shaping up to be a crucial round.
I have Ryno's proxies, but I'll give him more than enough time to make his pick when he is done with his course for the day...

actually I have specific directions for his picks...so as soon as nomaaa makes his pick, then I'll put up Ryno's pick.
I meant Ultimate's pick....
Interesting... I was starting to worry that I'd jumped the gun on taking the top-rated catcher, but it appears that the Mad Dash for Catchers did kick off before my round 4 pick.
i'm back, guys, please allow me a few minutes.
No.
Interesting Attez...
i'll have more to say on attezz's lindmn pick after i take my pick on the way back around.
"later on that"
That Lindeman pick is easily the steal of the draft.
Lindeman can get streaky...was not saying it was a bad pick. Just interesting...and daring imb
TBG...way to show your hand buddy...I see you need inf's and a catcher.
Where the fuck is alec now?
Henderson was a good call btw TBG....surprised you did not take an inf...
you dont' think i'll take my ace pitcher in the next round? i've taken him as high as #20. last year i took him in the 5th round. ...that's coming up.
all he's done is won 2 out of 3 world series.
He got gaped pretty good last year...again, thanks for showing your hand :thumbs up:
Or are you trying to force my hand?
He's top five though...
many sticks will disappear if you take him hmmmm
this is why the middle rounds are so fun, anything can happen. ...and are you so sure relief pitching isn't more important/scarce?
The Empire had the top bullpen last year.
Who is more important...#1 rp or #2 rp?
The Empire can work with pitching. Our program and philosophy can make any pitcher an above average pitcher...
we'll see how that goes.
To be honest, my approach in this draft is simple...I'm taking all the players whose astrological element is either air or water.
Gooden is high up on our list, you better grab him or I will. You can have Pena...

Jesus christ, you don't SAY THE NAMES!
I said air and water elements. No numerological elements were introduced, though Pythagoras tried to convince me when I channeled him. However, my pitching staff will be chosen according to a complex formula of numerology, astrology, and some ontological data we have on them. The Force is not to be underestimated.
Anyways, Alec needs of's I see...some good pop out there danglin...

don't go far, alec.. haha
very interesting turnaround picks coming up for beef. one should be obvious. but there's some interesting strategy for the first pick of the 5th round. and some interesting options available.
Alec's little Wally Joyner joke would have been funnier had we not been waiting for 852348509 hours for his pick....I think he actually meant it and pulled the joke card to cover his tracks...and I just lol'd
Quality pick...Downing did The Empire well last season after we acquired him via trade...
Yes. After being here in the midst of the discussion of the SECOND person to pick Wall-E, I managed to mess it up. I'm pretty sure I made fun of your balls during that periood too.
I needed a few minutes to update and decide who to pick anyways, so I took the opporotunity to be an ass
beef was here but left without making a pick. hope he's back soon...
No worries Alec...just fuckin with ya a bit...you've put in more than enough time waiting around for other picks...:pat on the back:

I would like to point out that I have no idea whether I made the "obvious" pick.
you know pedro guerrero is listed as a outfielder, right? just clarifying.
and the obvious pick was glenn davis. you did fine.
Good moves on Beef's part...though I would have taken a different route...or? ?'d
but yes, obvious picks...
my sleeper is out there...?'d

awesome
attezz with a huge move. wow.
let me re-group here for a second.

By then, I'll be asleep...but if I am up all night and wait this out, then I'll make my pick.

then we're waiting on darky.
Pick'd
any word from nacho or miked?
it's 10:15pm and 11:15pm, respectively, in their timezones.
Nacho should at least check in...isn't he more of the dee nee late crew? He might be suckin on some bong right now in the living room with William Ayers...
I think Mike D is asleep...
Actually both of them are usually logged on with the dee nee sunrise crew...
and they have 2 huge picks coming up...
then mine!

I got a system in place my son...
there are only a few quality arms and the perennial cy-young is already gone. the rest will go very quickly.

Prejudice... I think.
I've never intentionally sat through "watch mode" before so it's hard for me to say what the computer will do other than when I play it myself.
For my part I love hitting with Boggs. He's a stud and I wanted a 3rd lefty so he got the nod.
nomaaa was here a little while ago and left. i'm pretty sure he does it everytime just to infuriate me. haha
I totally fucked up my team so far, I have no idea why I have three outfielders and only one infielder.
So, so stupid.
sorry fellas. i got to hop on for a sec while i had a break in class, but wasn't up. i'll be around again at like five or something.
Oh my god!
Ultimate's looking at this thread but in 1 minute he's no longer gonna appear online!!
I'm scarred.
Someone hold me!
anti- ci-paaaaaaaaay aaaaaaaay - tion
Ryno's pick will be made right after Ultimate's....
yep, ultimate was here and then he left.
ultimate is an odd creature...
The site wasn't running for me, plus I got really screwed by the last 6 picks, my top 4 choices all went. Need 1 more minute
Next time I'm up I'm just gonna log on and off constantly for an hour.
And I just took Pendlton when Wilfong was available.
Fuck.

I didn't ask this question.
But I'm assuming that the answer is yes, we can't pick 3 SPs.
alec should have stuck around for beef's turnaround picks.
i'm about to go baines on this whole draft process.
WTF did Alec go?
He gave me two proxy pics, but that was before he took Wilfong. Then he made some odd post about how he forgot who he had, then deleted it.
Maybe he's planning, but if he's fuckin around and waits too long here, I shall consult the Galactic Senate.
Or just use the fucking proxy picks.
I shall make his selection via proxy...
surprised neither alec nor attezz selected a catcher at the end of the 6th round. they both needed one, but selected a lower ranked infielder who would have been there at the start of the 7th.
odd
I'm sure they have a plan...
maybe sentimental picks?
SPILLMAN!!!!
It was a tough choice between MScott and a decent catcher, but MScott's Unknown1 is just way too good to let him possibly go somewhere else.
Attez has his pitching rotation set!
Garner huh...going with the speed I see.
So I just PMed Mike D. with some draft strategy ideas and it turned out I sent the PM to TBG instead. Dammit. That's my 2nd fuck up in strategy of the draft. (The other is that I tipped my pitch for Trammel and Darky snatched him up.)
Quote from: Dårky on 03/31/09, 03:16:31 PM
2 SP
2 RP
And a RP may start. Bear in mind that no pitcher may start in consecutive games.
So, we can order our pitchers however we want?
Quote from: Nacho on 03/31/09, 03:52:45 PM
So I just PMed Mike D. with some draft strategy ideas and it turned out I sent the PM to TBG instead. Dammit. That's my 2nd fuck up in strategy of the draft. (The other is that I tipped my pitch for Trammel and Darky snatched him up.)
that didn't effect my pick.
Quote from: BeefMaster on 03/31/09, 03:52:59 PM

Yes
I just checked with the Galactic Senate, there shall be a vote if a RP can start a game.
Sorry.
I'd advise to assume that a RP cannot start a game.
The rules for the season will come after the draft in a separate thread.
are we not playing these games on earth?
Anyone who starts an RP is an idiot anyway.

Sorry about that, I got called in to work and didn't expect to be away that long... figured I gave you the the list and it'd be ok.
I forgot I had 3 OF already. And I didn't pick a catcher with my end of round 6 pick because beef already head one, so he'd be around for my beginning of 7 pick
I'M WAITING!!
Quote from: TβG on 03/31/09, 04:51:46 PM
I'M WAITING!!
A lot of players dropped and I had to look closely at Darky and NachoD's rosters to seee what will probably slip through their fingers for the next round.
These rounds take some deliberation.
You know what, most people are on right now... get in chat!
let's see here...hmmmm
For clarity, this will be run like fighton's leagues in the past, where we could actually watch the games after they are completed, right? Darky, will you be the one keeping stats and all of that?

yes Nacho. Nothing will change, though the boxscore format will be a bit different. I won't be doing play by play in the boxscore, and there will be 20 games.
However, I'm going to ask Fighton to run the games I play in..
Mike D., check your PMs. I want to make sure we are on the same page with the next pick.
and I will keep stats...as well as run a Fantasy RBI weekly magazine, with a player of the week and all that fun stuff.
20 game season though.
3 games vs each division opponent
2 games vs each non-division opponent
How many games did we play in past leagues?
Quote from: Nacho on 03/31/09, 05:08:00 PM
How many games did we play in past leagues?
13 the last two seasons, 14 in season 2, and I have no idea about season 1.
20 will be the benchmark for games for now on.
does miked approve of nacho's moves??
He does.
Got my SP rotation set. Two top pitchers historical in the Fantasy leagues...oh, i've done my homework.
I don't understand why anyone would draft pitching before they have at least their starting lineup set.

PM sent to Mike D. Our picks will be made as soon as I hear back from him.
you can just PM me again, that might work for you
Perfectly planned...I got the OF I wanted all along. Suckers!
I was going to hold out on him till my next pick and grab Bass, but Ultimate grabbed him. I think Dykstra would have still been available at the end of next round...I bet Re-Peat had his eye on him and you other fucks who had funny ideas about putting him on the bench the first option to pinch hit.
Dykstra=underrated...he forced Lindeman to the bench when I took over the Empire last year. Nails will hit high for average, cause havoc on the basepaths, track down everything in CF, and go yard here and there.
Also, I have the best SP rotation...bar none.
Looks like the SallyCunts are going in the small ball direction...lol
Nando was a solid choice btw...
Ryno is not going to be happy with you Re-Peat...ha ha ha
Sandberg started some games for the Empire last season, but he could not win a starting job. Good hitter off the bench though...

He's a complete player with some off-the-bench pop, I wouldn't start him though.
He was still another pick away for me. . . . I knew it would be unlikely, but I had anticipated being weak on the IF, so I couldn't pick him up earlier or he'd have started. . . . .and Sandberg is not a starter.
I bet you had your eyes on Dykstra eh Re-Peat...
I wonder if nomaaa will go bench player or SP...

Sandberg was given more than a chance last year...he just does not want to start for some reason.
I wonder if Ultimate will start Bass? I think Bass should be starting...I was tinkering with that idea to take Bass and have him be my 3rd OF, but Nails is heads up and a spark plug...
WTF did nomaaa go? What a cunt...he was just here
Damn kids...

I wanted bass, dykstra, and coleman before sandberg.
Such is RBI.
Perhaps nomaaa has not seen Nolan Ryan stat's in seasons II-IV? ???
Where does anyone see all these stats? Other than hacking TBG's system?
keep talking.
The stats are out there. Available to anyone. I got them...seasons II, III, and IV.
IV is easy to find. Real easy...

damn..I could have waited Dykstra out and took Garrelts instead...I think Re-Peat had his eyes on Gwynn. You could have him Re-Peat...I'm going with one of the best relievers in the game.
I think Clemens gave up the most homeruns last season...in fact, he did. ANd Gooden was right behind him.
Nolan Ryan has had the highest ERA or among the highest in seasons 2,3, and 4. You better work with him nomaaa
And me getting Orosco was huge....HUGE

False. I would have taken Dykstra last round instead on Sandberg. After that I probably would have still taken Gwynn.
I guess my esp is on target then...
This draft would have gone a lot better for me Re-Peat if you were not in the league.
Get off my tail already...

You were right about me liking Gwynn, but you were wrong about Dykstra falling to you, which was the main part of your prediction.
I thought you were going to take him or Coleman, I just wanted to grab a pitcher in case NachoD went with 2 on the bend.

Enjoy watching the empire crumble!
Coleman sucks btw...
My instincts were correct...that's why I took Dykstra
Also, I have a theory as to how hitters hit as to where they are in the lineup...it's the unknown variable in watch mode in the rom...
Also, I need to come up with a number for errors...every team will have the same number, but I am wondering at what number I should put it.
I was thinking 3.3, but that's too low or?
Input people, input...otherwise the Galactic Senate will make the call.
id' say that using the lowest error rating or second lowest rating is the most competitive. the less errors the better since the computer AI for fielding is so bad. maybe even no errors.

Unlike most of your theories, I agree with this one.
I haven't come to any conclusions about what spots may/may not do to players, but I have noticed that some players that are normally pimps are often chumps outside of their home slot.

Yeah, you were on fire believing I really wanted Jesse "Watch Game Suck" Orosco
My last two picks were froma bar. Possibly my first post from a bar. Probably not tough
can you help me with a spreadsheet problem?
i'm trying to create a function in (d3:18, e:318) that will add up lefty hitters and exclude the pitchers. and tthen the same type of function to add up the pitchers, but exclude the hitters from that total. you can see the empty cells where i'd like that to go.
this info is public domain until after the draft or after the season i plan to release a lot more public information that hopefully will help everyone in the future.
Have you used sumif?
i'm not sure how to phrase everything in the equation to include both columns of info. and i think i experimented with =countif
=SUMIF(D1:D121,"L",H1:H121) (From you RBI roster sheet)
You don't even have pitchers on your sheet from what I can tell, but if you did:
Add another column that was 1 if Pitcher 0 if hitter
then another column = D2 & N2 'assuming N is the new column
If this last column = L1 then you have the left handed hitters, so you'd have to change the sum if a bit
i want to work evertyhign off that one sheet and not refer to another page, if possible. the way you're saying to do it is better, but it's not how i have the info set up for now.
you think the way the table is layed out right now that i can't do the sum or count i'm looking for?
i'm talking about the tab labeled "2009"
the sheet you attached has no pitchers on it. I thought you wanted total power so I used Sumif, if you just want counts then use Countif
tab 2009
this is basically what i'm trying to say:
=COUNTIF(D3:E18, "*-L","RP" or "SP")
to tell me how many lefty pitchers...
and i'd use the same things except IF, OF, C to tell me about the total of lefty batters.
the trick here seems to be getting the info from two columns and supplying one answer.
i know this isn't right, but this is another way i'm thinking about how to express it:
=sum(=COUNTIF(D3:E18, "*-L") + (=countif(D3:E18, "of" or "if" or "C"))
both have to be true, we want to know from column D if it contains a left and from column E if it's a fielder.

Quote from: Nacho on 04/02/09, 01:02:44 AM
Shiraldi?
He had the lowest ERA last season.
And has been statistically a top reliever in prior seasons.
I have easily assembled the best pitching staff...bar none
It's gonna be hard to score more than 10 runs against me. If it happens, it will not happen often.
And beautiful work there Re-Peat...your tragic destiny awaits you.

so yeah, alec left his picks with darky. shouldn't he have left them with me? or attezz???
come back soon, darky.
I find it mildly hilarious that Darky thinks you can win in Fantasy RBI with pitching.
And then I drafted back-to-back pitchers (although there was some method behind that madness - I wanted to make sure that I got my relievers while guys with 15 stamina were still on the board).

Margin of error Beef...solid pitching (in the watch world) helps win ball games by keeping the score low (under 15 runs).
It does make a difference. Attez made some pithing changes last season, and the pitching change helped propel him to the playoffs.
I have the stats from seasons 2,3, and 4. I combined the stats and found some interesting numbers...like hits per inning, HR per inning, and of course ERA.
My relievers and starters are in the top tier according to my statistical analysis.
Using stats to gage pitchers is the best way to go...the parameter ratings of the pitchers does not give a clear cut analysis of how a pitcher will do in a game.
Shiraldi was a gamble, I only have two seasons of data to work with on him. But I like what I see so far and he did lead all relievers in ERA and hits per inning... so if he does have an off year, it won't be that horrible according to the Empire's scouting reports.
My team, is terrible, to the point that when all's said and done I'm gonna make a rom and have them play a watch game season, I'm pretty sure they'll go 0-9 with the closest game against Houston.
Seriously.
the stats from season two are schewed because:
1. we only had 8 teams.
2. the line-ups were beefed up becuase the bottom 20 hitters didn't need to be drafted.
3. only 34 pitchers were used, not all 40. In fact, only 32 were drafted. The other two were picked up sometime during the season.
just keep that in mind.

Your catcher will do you wrong...realy wrong.
And I was forced to take Jack Morris early cause I feared that Attez would snatch him up...after Attez took Gooden, I feared the worst.
And bear in mind that this is a 20 game season, so we'll see how the numbers crunch and how things play out.

ultimate needs to punch himself in the face right about now.
hey ult, any word on the spreadsheet question from yesterday? i've even tried doing searches and can't find info online for what i want to do.

Does anyone else need a catcher?
According to his proxy, we shall wait him out since his other guy was chosen

And lets get this shit done by tomorrow please.
Force of habit, I don't even think about it.
Sorry, I don't even fucking think about that shit
If attezz picks, i've got proxies for beefmaster and ryno.
I'll be gone the rest of the night, re-peat and Nacho have my numbers so text me on the turn, and I'll just take whatever catcher is left (or Santana to catch for me if noone's left) in the 16th round.
you have to take whoever the last catcher is, no one can take the last catcher. that's how we've done it before.
That's why I was so confused when I noticed there were twelve catchers on the spreadsheet, since there's only ten teams and all.
So can Attez wait till the very last round to draft the last remaining catcher, or does he have to take the last catcher sooner?
he can wait til the last round. the same thing happened to me the second yr or last year. it's fine. he's going to get steve lake. i'm about to proxy schroeder for beefy.
alec is up and hopefull will pick before attezz leaves.

SP
Alxndr
Reushl

I believe this is the list of losers players that remain
In a preseason exhibition The Rebel Alliance took it to the Galactic Empire and beat them in front of their home crowd.
The empire played good ball but suffered from apparent mismangement in the form of a poor batting order. Had Dale Murphy and Jim Rice had more runners to bat in things may have been different.
On the other side the in game manager for the alliance must have fallen asleep, as pitchers batted twice only to be taken out the very next inning in favor of relief... wtf computer?
Candy Maldonado hit a beautiful grand slam in the 9th off Schirialdi, and McDowell got the save despite giving up 5 runs in the last 2 innings.
Clemens is credited with the win, and Cox is marked for the loss.
I look forward to meeting the Empire on the field during the regular season.

There is specific criteria that must be met for the CPU to change pitchers or PH.
We should FAQ this list, please add to whatever I'm missing.
Starter will be removed or PH for after 4 innings if his team is losing, tied, or winning by 3? or less.
2nd pitcher will be removed after pithcing the 7th inning on same criteria
3rd pitcher after pitching the 8th.
ultimate is up and he has to choose one of the last two SP's right?
Rueshl or Hurst
right?
So is every pitcher going to pitch in every game because of the way the computer cycles through them?
Someone play my team in a preseason game...
i think every pitcher pitches except P4 or RP2 whatever we call it, (the fourth pitcher on the list), unless you're losing. there's no need for the "closer" to pitch the ninth, sine there won't be a home half of the ninth (the bottom of the ninth). ultimate, correct me if i'm wrong.
also, i believe that SP1 will go longer than 4 won't he? if he has a big lead? could be wrong there too.

Alec - fielder (he takes the last fielder)
Beefmstr- SP (beef takes whoever Ult7 didn't choose)

Nomaaa took Spike Owen and it stands even though he went out of order...Re-Peat has only one option, and that is a pitcher. So Re-Peat's pick renders no relevance to nomaaa's pick, Ryno's pick, TBG's pick, and Alec's pick.
Re-Peat has 30 minutes to make his pick, or he will be given the pitcher who he took in his rom...Alexander. The decision will be final in 30 minutes. Consider it a penalty. If Re-Peat decides that he really wants Hurst or Reuschel, then he will be over ruled.
Re-Peat's last post in the draft thread should have been his pick...not some suggestion for trades. I already spoke about the trade clause on more than one occasion. Weeks 8-12 TRADES WILL BE ALLOWED. Not before or after.
Can I put Kerfeld as my pinch hitter instead of Santana?
I'm pretty sure he'd hit better.

santana is actually much better than any pitcher.
well some people aren't aware of the pitcher's actual batting abilities. i had to look it up earlier this week because i was curious.

I think it is funny that pitchers are faster than people like Bill Buckner.
They're the best athletes on the field.
players slower than pitchers:
Armas
Spilmn
Bucknr
Sullvn, catcher
all those guys have speed of 118
players with speed equal to pitchers (120), most are catchers:
DaEvns
Hrbek
Carter, catcher
Laudnr, catcher
Gedman, catcher
Nokes, catcher
Boone, catcher
Heath, catcher
Bergmn
Schrdr, catcher
Smally
Is there a point to Dark Side locking the draft thread? Is he going to do asinine things like that which arbitrarily show his "facilitator" status all season long?
We don't need a king, dude. We just need someone to manage the ROM.

You somehow doubted something like this would happen? Earlier on he tried to teach Nomaaa how to use "ctrl+f"
lol...
I made a bet in a pm to a "close dee member" as to who would bitch first after I locked my thread...cuntboy clutched up!!!!!! and one
The other member said Attez would be first.

You can't force the computer to only use 1SP and 2RP anyways can you? I don't see how this will work out.

Not allowed.
A SP must be the first in relief.
And no SP may start consecutive games.
how would it work if you put the SP at the bottom of the rotation (4th) following his start?
Then you'd always have SP - RP - RP - SP
Here's my team lineup
Pabst Blue Ribbons (red, white, and blue colors)

No. Then the RP is way out of gas by the 7th inning which would bring down the standards and integrity of the league.
dicklicker, I asked "how would it look" not, "will you."
Pay attention!

What kind of look are you after? In any case, nothing would change as far as how the pitchers are substituted during a watch game. The SP in the #4 slot would come in the 9th to shut the door...assuming if it's a close enough game. Attezz switched to a SP-RP-RP-SP format last season....
That's what i mean --- how would it all shake out according to any assumed systems the computer has for subbing.
I have no knowledge of the when or how they do it. . . . someone alluded to it earlier but it was the first I'd ever heard (not paying much attention, possibly).

Be more specific Ryno...with the team colors.
Don't make the same mistake I did -- I have Ojeda, not Orosco. . . .got my O Mets pitchers mixed up.
would be nice if we could play in Yankee Stadium, Wrigley, or the one with the ginormous wall.
I watched a few preseason games the other night, lost to the Imperiacal Data Incorporated 14-13 in 13 innings in the first game (Hernandez pitched the first 5 and only gave up 3 runs), in the second game against RA (team two, not sure who it is) I was up 5-3 after 7 and eventually won 9-8 after Reardon barely got out of the 9th, Hernandez only gave up 2 runs in 4 innings (he was taken out and Gooden pitched well).
My offense sucks but somehow I think my pitching my be alright, and I didn't really read through the above stuff, but I really want to go:
Hernandez
Godden
MScott
Reardon
And will be kinda pissed if I can't use Hernandez as my SP1

SP-SP-RP-RP
The above is the only accepted format. A relief pitcher may not start a game. You can use your relief pitchers who are in relief in any order of course.
A SP must start a game and a SP may not start in consecutive games. The non starting SP will be used as the #2 pitcher.
No exceptions

Re-Peat, fix your pitching rotation and re-submit. SP-SP-RP-RP...no exceptions. I made this clear during the draft.
Otherwise, I put in the rom:

You know what then? Fuck you.
Let me know if anyone wants to take over my team.

It's done.
There are now 2 separate ROM's. One ROM has the pitchers starting with the pitching rotation you guys gave me. And the other ROM has the #2 SP starting the game.
Can you guys access the ROM on nightwulf's RBI editor site?
Here are the new ROM's...
Can't decide if the alternate jersey looks better. On Darky's screen shot, my guys looked too much like Boston. Not the band, the team.

Darky, you have Walling going before Aldrete in the roms. Please fix this. Thanks!
Okay Re-Peat...give me a few...I'm running the Alliance vs the Sally Cunts.
I'll fix it.
Darky, is it too late to change the jersey color to the helmet color and vice-versa?
