So we're doing a combined league again?
Looks like it based on the spreadsheet
did we want to do NES only?
i think i have that spreadsheet somewhere...
Nah let's do both, shittier the teams the better.

Agreed. If we just did NES, everyone would be chosen so it would just come down to how you set up your order and bench. If we include both, then none of the good players will be picked.

this was my thought process. essentially a "super shitty" league
okay, gents, i've updated the google sheet to include cross reference sheets by position and sorted by power, lowest to highest
i wanna see if we can fill the entire first page with unrelated bullshit nonsense. we're certainly close
i also just realized ultimate made his first pick, so ryno's up now.
we may not get another pick until next tuesday. let's put a 24 hour rule on the first 3 rounds.
clock officially starts today at noon, deenee time
for round one, i'm not going to be very strict about making picks on time, but i think we can handle making a pick a day. heck, i think we could even handle making 2
Brown 3B. Seems rather shitty
OF Larry Herndon
I almost want to draft a whole bunch of 900+ power guys just to see them destroy the competition.
You are within your right to do so
it's a tough call, but i'm gonna take the worst player in RBI Baseball, this guy:

I was thinking that Nightwulf had hacked it in at some point, but I'm not seeing it in the editor, so now I'm thinking it was actually the "per-pitcher batting" hack.
i'm thinking no
I vote keeping pitchers at 9, but don't feel too strongly about it
I think it's silly to move the pitcher out of #9. Every team will do it and therefore the advantage will be negated.

I agree, though it'd be interesting to see how many people moved the pitcher to the leadoff spot versus, say, the 3 spot.

It's impossible. The 9-hole is a fixed position for the pitchers. You can only change 1-8 in the editor.
nomaaa - think it's a good idea to maybe keep changing the subject to have the name of the person up as the first word? That way it's easy to see/notice from the main page, we can double team it if you're down.

Well, at this point the remaining OFs are either fast or might accidentally hit a few home runs, so I'll take speedster Willie McGee - OF

Classically handsome, some might say.
Was hoping to swipe up McGee. Hopefully shooty took the more powerful one so the weaker one is still on the board.

Are you saying ON THE RECORD that I am doubly Burly Sactacular?
I was hoping to combine the worst parts of the two McGees to make a slow, weak hitter.
And for the record, I drafted the McGee with 720 power.
Quote from: nomaaa on 02/17/21, 01:33:20 PM
i think we go with super league roster guidelines:
- both NES and Arcade rosters are available for draft.
- drafting a player on both rosters gives the owner the rights to either one, but only one may be active at a time.
- starting lineups feature players at each individual infield position, but any 3 outfielders.
- pitching rosters include four players of any type (starter or reliever)
- the top slot may not be occupied by the same pitcher in consecutive games.
*new*
- bench players may be from any position except pitchers
My outfield is now done. The trio of Mike Aldrete, Jesus Alou, and Willie McGee is sure to strike terror in the hearts of the opposition.

The interesting thing is that most of us will end up with lineups that would actually have been pretty good IRL (Aldrete notwithstanding in this particular example)

Yeah, both are Houston catchers, and there is no Ashby with the first initial "H" listed on Baseball Reference. I want the arcade version but I think they should both be out of the draft pool.

I had the exact same worry when I took Mize last round - I really didn't care much which of the two I got, but if someone sniped one of them and you got the other, that's a big bat to be saddled with in the starting lineup.
I didn't take him in the 10th round but did take him in the 11th because I didn't trust Shooty not to nab him. He was the only one I was really worried about.

Yeah, of all attributes, I'm staying away from drop. Don't want any accidental strikeouts.
Then again, drop on a RP isn't that significant. After throwing a couple of those, he'll get tired and they won't drop anymore.

Interested in seeing how the strategy of drafting SPs works out for people.
There isn't really any difference between a SP and a RP in the 3 and 4 slots - they both are going to get one inning, likely, so fatigue won't be a factor for either.
natty gan for two

I'm placing my SP's in relief - the ones who love to give up big innings before they settle down. Good thing we have stats to see who is likely to do that! Once again, the Empire is a step ahead! 8)

I may actually put a SP in the starters roll.
The way I'm looking at it is if you start a reliever, by the third inning they should be gassed and throwing meatballs down the plate. Now all these hitters are like mid 700 power guys. Even if they get a hold of one, it will just be a bunch of long fly balls. If you have a SP still throwing hard, it may induce weaker contact and a bunch of bleeders. Not sure though. All I care about now is to stay away from high K guys. (i.e. sinkerball pitchers)

Hopefully sidearm pitchers aren't harder to hit, since I have two of dem.
RIP Beefy
nomaaa: Dickie Thon is un-highlighted on the shortstop page of the spreadsheet but was already taken (the arcade version is listed as a SS but the NES version is listed as a 2B, and only the 2B was marked off when he was drafted).
HEY GERLOST: If said player put on a few pounds and became a mob boss, he'd be Dickie Thon, Thickie Don.
Also, did Gantry just come into this thread to sass my pick and put my name back in the subject line, but not actually make his last two draft picks?
I just did the reply nomaaa changed the subject. Will pick now

Drysdl - SP
Morris - SP
Garner - 2B
tempo selects Heath - C
I take Bert Campaneris with my final pick of the draft.
Since fighton needs to take a pitcher and I pick after him and need to take a hitter, can I just draft while I'm here?
Johnson - 3B
Yes
Sutclf SP - the one with the worse curve.
