Start a seperate thread since the Draft thread should end up pretty long. Thought about Potatoes #1, but had to go with the best Cub in the game.

The Hawk? I woulda gone with the lefty power, but that's just me.
I'm not sure how much Lefty/Righty matters for CPU games
Notice we are all online right now... I'm just sayin'

I'm not that suprised that Ultimate7 decided to go with the Hawk for his first pick. Even though he's frequently been an undreachiever in live play, he's got some great measurables, as evidenced by his 954 power rating coming out of the combine. With computer play, that's tough to ignore.
ShitPaw's also raided the All Star roster with his opening selection of Mark McGwire. With no steroid testing in this league, he's sure to put up big numbers.
If I feed him steroids, will his power numbers go up?

Noticed that, not sure what Poolstroke is doing.
I've sent him 47 pms.
And by 47, I mean 2.
Potatoes is a steal right now...
I'm retarded because I don't know who potatoes is. *ducks*
Fourth guy in the batting order (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/cali.shtml)
I certify myself retarded for the day.
where's an excel file with the stats? does someone have one i can download? i'm trying to find out who to pick(haha)
"do or do not, there is no try --yoda
Try www.dee-nee.com
Seriously the links on the left side of the main site for each team have each players stats
Go to the Dee-Nee site (http://dee-nee.com) and look under "Teams" for ratings on all of the players.
i'm hoping to use some jedi mind-tricks with excel to break down the data for the draft, i need to inside numbers.... and to have them on an excel spreadsheet.... i thought there was one floating around here somewhere
Let's go back to Dee-Nee draft anaylst Mel Kiper for a breakdown of the first round.
Mel?
(http://ak-sports.espn.go.com/f/1917/8668/6H/espn.go.com/i/nfl/draft03/kiperjr_mel_m.jpg)
I thought that there were some real reaches in the first round. Mark McGwire has a lot of power, but I don't know if he was worth the No. 2 overall selection. Still, he's only one of two IFs with top 10 power numbers, so if you're ShitPaw, it makes sense to lock him in there.
I didn't get poolstroke choosing Eric Davis in the first round at all. To me, that was a major reach. Certainly, he would have been around in the second round, and that pick could have locked down someone like Reggie Jackson.
Speaking of which, BeefMaster has to be happier than a butcher with a fresh slab of meat that Potatoes fell into his lap with the fifth overall pick. That's great value, and so was GreatScott getting Jose Canseco at No. 7.
I was thisclose to grabbing Canseco instead of Reggie - Jose has slightly higher power and speed ratings. In the end, though, I realized that I hate Jose Canseco. If I need a statistical reason, Reggie has a better contact rating.
I had to go with Edavis for speed and power reggie dont cut it for me in that department.If it was live reggie was the man. Staying with the same in 2nd with Gibby,speed and power prevails in close games.
I thought picking up Kimmy Gibbler in the second round was just fine, especially being an IF.
So, is the first SP chosen going to open the floodgates of everyone else choosing SPs?
I bet that's the way it'll go.
Wow,if i knew I could of got these 3 players first three picks,I would of never believed it.To me I have the 3 picks that I would of taken if I had the first 3 picks in the first round.
FUCK ME!!!!!
I PM'd fighton my picks in case I wasn't on, thinking that Reggie would have absolutely, positively been picked ahead of me.

Well, I had to start moving on IFs soon. It's a pretty big drop from the first tier to the second tier.
Additionally (and I'll post this at the main draft site as well), I would like to point out that if you are using Gantry's team profiles, there is at least one error. For Houston, both Glenn Davis and Billy Hatcher are listed at RF. In fact, Glenn Davis was 1B for Houston, both in real life and according to the RBI Baseball manual. So, Glenn Davis is considered an IF for our purposes.
That is all.

I understand. I gave you my proxy picks and you did what I asked. I'm not bitter, I swear. Not one bit. Nope, no bitterness whatsoever. Who's bitter? Not me. Fknmclane is definitely not bitter.
I'm kinda suprised that fcknmclane took Fatty Nokes over the Permador, Gary Carter, too, since I don't think the lefty/righty thing is going to be THAT big of a deal in this league. But then again, he might just be on tilt from letting Potatoes slip through his hands?
That, and the fact that the Arizona St. Sun Devil mascot looks like some sort of bad S&M version of Mister Spacely from The Jetsons (or Mean Gene Okerlund).
Semi-important question: I'm heading out of town Friday morning and won't have access to a computer until I get back Sunday. If we're not done with the draft, do you want me to give you a ranking so you can draft for me (like an autodraft in a fantasy football league), or should I see if someone can draft for me?
Hopefully we can be done or very close to done by Friday morning. Teddy was signed in for a little while, but he didn't make his picks.
i just picked up mattingly and gedman... i should be logged on til 3pm pacific time so i'm hoping to get a few more rounds in.

I can't have the Geri Curl on my team. I despise him. Always have, always will. Don't know why.
Fatty Nokes has always been good to me.
And yes, the ASU mascot is totally ridiculous. But I'm holding out hope that he shoots a fireball at the stupid horse.
I will also be out of town until Sunday evening. We need to get this thing finished. I haven't made a pick all day.
great scott is on the clock. i will be back online tomorrow (thursday) morning, around 8AM pacific time.
Well, if we want to speed up the clock, we can do that. It has been a 24 clock, but we can change that if everyone else wants to. I think the big thing is to get proxy picks to me if you think you aren't going to be able to check back here during the day. Give me some selections, and I promise that I will not use that list to compromise the draft.
So what happens if we hit 24 hours and GreatScott still hasn't picked, we just skip him?
nobody has ever missed the 24-hour mark
We probably should just skip him and let others draft, or we could say with the #26 pick Great Scott selects, Al Pedrique.
:)
put the pick he missed at the end of the draft. we don't want to do anything that would make him want to quit, like picking Spike Owen.
Well we could do NFL style, he can pick as soon as he shows up, in the mean time we can all fill in our picks as fast as possible, if we get to his next pick, it would buy him another 24 hours to make the picks.
Whatever we do, USC should be on the clock now, it's been 24 hours I believe.
What we'll do if someone missed their pick is that they are skipped, and they can make that selection at any time after that, but the draft keeps moving without them, and any players selected after that are done.
i.e. if you have the third pick in the second round and run out of time, the guy with the fourth pick can go and pick anyone, and then the guy with the fifth pick, etc. At any time, you can make your second round selection, as long as they haven't already been taken.
I think GreatScott has until 1:38 forum time.
You're right, I was looking at USC's last pick time, forgot about teddy's pick.
Glenn Davis, that was a surprise, didn't expect him to go that early. Damn I wanted DeCinces.
GD was a big surprise.
I couldn't pass on Ruppert. I was trying to convince myself for five minutes but it obviously didn't happen.
So who's going to open the pitching floodgates?
It's been 2 days since I picked and I've slowly watched everyone I wanted get drafted, now I don't know who the heck I'm going to pick. Poolstroke please show up so I can make a pick today.
Well, Geena did have the most power of and IF left on the board, so I can see where BeefMaster would make that choice. And Rupperto is so tough to ignore.
Really, I don't see any selections that absolutely make me scratch my head at this point. I'm with fknmclane - someone's going to take a pitcher, and it's going to go all haywire after that...
hey guys, i might be online to check on the draft a couple times tonight. i'll leave my next two proxy picks with fighton, just in case.
i can't believe everyone isnt devoting every waking hour to breaking down stats and putting lists together, at least they could be signed on... oh well.
I'll try to have a list together before I leave town tomorrow morning. I don't know whether I'll be back online this evening... it'll depend on how boring the debate is.
It's officially been 48 hours since I made my last pick.
that's all.
Now 60 hours, hopefully poolstroke will pick by noon today, I'm gonna be out from 12:30 until around 7:00.
You guys should have done this over dee-nee chat, at least a portion of it. 15 minutes of everyone in chat would have scooped up 3 rounds...
The good news is that there are only 98 picks left, so we are bascially certain to be done with the draft by early January 2005.
Somewhere Joe Dirt is laughing about this ... and probably masturbating with glee
Well, poolstroke has another two hours to make his next pick - after that, he's getting skipped.
Because you are allowed 24 hours does not mean you need to take it.
I wouldn't mind setting a time next week for all of us to get online and get the draft out of the way.
Take the weekend to map out your picks from Armas to Owen.
I'm ready to get the games on!

I would be more than up for this...I think the main issue right now is fknmclane and his Apple IIe computer that apparently can't handle a chat room of any level, or anything above 8-bit graphics.
Still, I would be happy to suspend the draft until Monday, and hopefully decide on a time to do a live draft and just get this thing moving.

This wasn't directed at you.
I don't think we even need the chatroom. Honestly, it would be TOO fast. You wouldn't have time to update everyone's picks and teams, and then have to check the validity of each pick.
As long as everyone is in the forum, we can knock this thing out. Every 3 or 4 minutes, check for a new post. I would think more people would be anxious to make their picks. I know I'm not the only one.
Having ranted, I won't be near a computer until Monday. I'll send you a list fighton.
we should just set up a day for all of us to do the draft at a specific time. you dont show ... peace out youre shit outta luck. Whatever not the end of the world if you miss a couple picks. Hey, the Vikings are still competative
If you can't make it, send fightonusc a list of your picks. I doubt he would compromise the draft, as he IS the Commissioner.
I know we already have a few suggestions...
The situation right now is on the low end of the spectrum, and the proposal on the table is for the high end.
If we found something in the middle, it might be more realistic.
Like...
When we find a time where everyone can be online, we determine that we'll complete a certain number of rounds (like 3 or 4).
I understand that we all have lives (to a certain extent), and it's understandable that people don't check the site every day. I just want it to be known that I understand that.
Well by 1:00 forum time today, we should be able to proceed, I've sent USC my proxy picks.
I'm not too worried about the draft going too fast, even on a chat...
Still, I think we all agree that we just need to set a date and agree to all be checking frequently and making our picks then. I'm pretty much good anytime during the day next week, so you guys tell me a day that works for you.
I can make room for anytime you guys decide.
Best for me is like 12-1 forum time during the week, I'm out next Friday
I'm out of class Monday at noon fifteen so I'm available to finish this fucker up then.

Beef picked Schofield. I can't believe I just typed that.
Looks like we're stuck again? Wish there was a way we could get a hold of GreatScott and Teddy113. We could bang out this draft in an hour or so and commence the reign of The Poopydicks.
Teddy did give me some proxy picks, so when we get to him, I know we can pick on his behalf.
I'll give GreatScott a little bit of time - he's usually around in the afternoon, so he should be going pretty shortly (I've also sent him an IM as well).
In the spirit of the draft revival (and having an unexpectedly short day), I have begun drinking.
dee-nee!!!
That is a truly wonderful achievement, ShitPaw, and I commend you for it.

Upon arriving home, I promptly bypassed the kiss hello and grabbed a beer. Only after wetting my whistle did I offer the smooch...which was of course, denied.
My wife is out of town on business (she left on Thursday, and won't be getting back until this coming Saturday after the USC/Cal game). Needless to say, there was a lot of drinking taking place this weekend.

Damnit, why did ultimate7 have to pick Laundry? Why did I wait to choose him?
Damnit!
I was kind of suprised Laudner lasted that long, I didn't really want him but at that point had to take him.
i hate you
and i believe this has turned into a 6-player league... i hope teddy and scott show up though
Why didn't you take him with the pick right before me? Though Scott is high on my pitcher depth chart, I don't think I would;ve taken him.
Scott is my franchise player, and the comments about "pitcher floodgates" got to me. Scott will win the Cy Young this season.
I don't hate you, but Laudner was a must-have for me.
Well, Teddy got the two picks that he proxied to me, so he actually hasn't been impacted by any of the decisions that have been made. The only person really impacted was GreatScott; I feel bad about this, but I decided to take his own comments to heart and proceed for a couple of picks without him. I don't want to put him too far behind the 8-ball, though, so he'll just be behind the two picks when he comes back.

Let me just state that fknmclane is one of the nicest guys on the board, and a real gentleman for not taking me up on my offer to trade any of my IFs for any of his OFs. Still, I'll let the offer stand until the end of the draft if he changes his mind.
Now the run on pitchers has begun and it's a long time before I draft again.

In a meeting, bitches. I'm back for a while but even then I can be reached by phone IM in the car on the way home.
buckner?
I just noticed something. I have 4 OFers, all picked early. My last pick, the Candyman, was because I thought I had an extra infielder.
I said it was no big deal earlier and it still isn't but I'm kinda unhappy about one thing. I gotta put one of those outfielders on the bench now, something I'd rather not do.
So can we treat the Candyman as an infielder? Or do we compromise and have me and usc trade Mitchell for the Candyman (it only makes sense for this swap, as they were picked around the same time and are the same quality player - I can't take a stud, that wouldn't be right.)
Sorry for the late reaction on the situation. Again, I just noticed this. I don't mean to cause any problems in an otherwise great draft.
i have no objections
Quote from: ShitPaw on 10/04/04, 05:18:03 PM

Okay, good deal. Sorry I didn't catch this earlier when it first came up. Don't mean to take away from the draft. Thanks for understanding.

Quote from: Teddyballgame113 on 10/04/04, 05:22:56 PM
i say you trade, we already signed off on a draft list before we began
The only reason I thought I had an extra infielder is because usc made an honest mistake and marked one of my outfielders as an infielder on my team list.
I wouldn't think of asking for help because I screwed up my picks.
the only thing is that i don't think a team should gain an advantage over everybody else, just because they don't want to sit one of their players. we all have to sit certain players. i think we should all be responsible for our own draft lists, and who we have, all our players. can't we trade players later anyway? you don't want to give away that upperhand you may have. my opinion.
Well, I don't think that sitting or playing Candy Maldanado is going to be a huge difference one way or another, and I feel pretty responsible for this mistake, so I'm going to change the Candyman to an IF for the purposes of this season.
I completely agree but a mistake was made by the Commish, causing me to draft improperly. The Commish offered the trade to me as compensation. I originally turned it down but then realized I would have to bench one of my original picks.
I'm not asking for special treatment and if it's that big of a deal, I'll gladly bench one of my outfielders. I'm simply trying to take the Commish up on his offer.
It's usc's decision.
fknmclane's picks were compromised because fightonusc posted that he had only chosen 2 outfielders.
thinking he had one more chance to pick a starting outfielder, he chose Candy Maldonado.
Had he known that Maldonado would be a bench player, he would have chosen an equally powerful infielder.
he would only gain a 30 point advantage if he made the trade.
Well, let's make the trade, then. I'll take Candy as an OF, you can have Kevin Mitchell as an IF, and then no one has to bench anyone or switch positions.
And that is a final decision.
Again, I didn't mean for this to become a big deal. I should have just PM'd the Commish and settled it that way.
Let's get back to drafting.
i'll go along with the commissioners decision, but i think each team should be responsible for looking at their own list of players.
can someone reach greatscott right now via aol messenger and ask him if he's going to replace picks or select so we know when we'll start up again?
I hope GreatScott isn't throwing in the towel
Right now, he's not available via IM, but I did just send him a PM to explain the situation. Let's give him a few minutes to figure out which (if any) of his players he might want to replace.
I'm off to class, usc has my proxy picks. Commish, thanks for taking care of it for me. You're the man.
can we get a solid start time for this morning, so i know when to start looking at picks again?
You know what...GreatScott took off without making his next pick or giving me any proxy picks. So, I'm just going to continue auto-drafting for him from here on out.
So, after I've made my selection for him (in the next few minutes), you can go ahead and go, Teddy.
i remember reading that he believed he "missed the draft" and then he bolted.
do you think he thinks he got dropped?
Hard to say. He also referenced his "team of scrubs", so I think he knows that we were drafting for him. This is why I can't emphasize enough getting proxy picks to me if you're not going to be around.
i PM'ed him too and told him to pick, it's his fault if he's not here, won't check his messages and can't take care of proxies either.
Just to clarify, I actually have the next pick after GreatScott's. Then it's BeefMaster and fcknmclane.
is poolstroke72 dead?
so fighton, will we get the picking started again? i think we're in round 10 pick number 2 greatscott, and then your pick
Beef just grabbed 2 relief pithcers.
I went through his proxy list, and he had those two relief pitchers listed before any of his starting pitchers. And since he's got his position starters filled, I think it's best for him to get him the best pitchers possible before filling his bench.
also - beefmaster is the only one who has not picked both SPs, so he can wait until his last pick and still get the best available
Quote from: ShitPaw on 10/05/04, 01:03:44 PM

Giving him the luxury of choosing Ozzie Smith, strange.
i believe ozzie hit 2 homers in one game during one of the previous seasons - i doubt it will happen again
nobody wants lefthanded relief huh? i have those guys ranked some of the highest
Oz was the top guy left on the list I gave fightonusc a couple days ago. I had starters listed over relievers, but they were all gone by the time my turn came around, so he grabbed the top guys left for me. Whenever I'm up next, I'll try to make my own picks, as Oz was about at the end of the list.
I not convinced that it makes that much difference in a computer vs. computer game. I'm sure that some of the veterans from other seasons might have different opinions based on other facts, though.
ShitPaw, can I tell them about the secret to pitching in fantasy RBI?
Before the draft, I had a pretty strong hunch what it was, DvlDogs pitcher pick confirmed my hunch.
A question about league play:
I originally had intended to split the eight teams into two divisions, and not have teams from the two divisions play each other until the playoffs. Thinking about that, though, that means that perhaps I wouldn't be able to play against ShitPaw for the entire regular season, and that seems to take a lot of the fun out of it.
What do you guys instead think about each team plays each other team twice (once home, once away) during the season, and the top four teams move into the playoffs?
Sounds good to me.
Yeah sounds good.

I'd still own you all... *opened the floodgates for shit-talking*
then pick'em and let's find out
they'll be my last 2 picks... in keeping with my first statement, I will be well blitzed.
they won't start... i'm not that stupid
do we have a proxy for beef? he's not logged in right now
in all seriousness, not enough can be said for fiightonusc managing his own team, plus the proxy picks and figuring out the best available player for GreatScott... for so long - this may be the longest draft, but it's the best job managing a draft
Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm modeling it after the CFL draft, actually, where dead players sometimes get drafted in the later rounds.
I second the kudos for usc. An incredible job. I know I couldn't do it.
Question about the league: do we get to pick our colors for the uniforms and the players?
Thirding the kudos
Yeah, go ahead and post your preferred team colors and team names if you haven't already. It's optional, but I can tweak the ROM pretty easily.
you want us to post it with our lineups on the draft page (the one with only one reply)?
Another Question: Will everyone undrafted remain as Free Agents or is our roster of 16 set?
also you might want to decide how you'll handle the defense, such as changing the chance for errors, i don't know how you'll decide the number. maybe which ever team you have most of your players from you have that default rbi rating, or we could make a league average and have all the teams be the same defensively.
team colors: white uni, and navy blue hats/trim
team name: the OC

I vote for free agents, although it'll depend on how much maintenance fightonusc wants to do with the ROM.
Team name "BeefMaster" (abbreviated "BM") - green skin, black hats, red unis.

Go ahead and post them here, that will be fine with me.

I miss these aliens.

I'm off to work. usc has my proxies. Good luck to everyone.
The plan was to go with the undrafted being free agents. Basically, we'll have a weekly schedule of games (one game played every day). You'll have to make any roster changes by Monday, and all line-ups must be set the day before the game. Contact me to pick up any free agents (first come, first serve).
Team name: Da ShitPaws (Sp or whatever works)

Unfortunately, it seems locked into the team that originally held that position in the ROM - i.e., if my team is where the Detroit Tigers would otherwise be, they are going to have the Tigers' error percentage.
I don't think it's going to play a huge role in the season, but I'll try to figure out some fair way to do this. Perhaps the person who drafted first should get the team with the highest error percentage? Or, the team with the most Tigers gets the Tigers spot, etc.? I'll figure something out.
I think drafting 1st was the worst position to be in
If you're the Clippers, then yes, it is...
Like I said, I'll work something out to mathematically decide this, then...
i thought that nughtwulf's editor could do it. but i can't remember for sure
just looked... i don't see it
maybe i just read his explanation how it worked... and maybe he couldn't edit it, or hasn't incorporated it into his editor yet.
that is correct
Here is the thread you were thinking of:
BOPs explained (http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=2761;start=msg33643#msg33643)
Basically, I'm going assign each player a BOP rating that's the same as whatever team they came from. I'll average these out, and the worst fielding team will take over Detroit's space (the worst fielding team in the game), etc.
So, I'll just take care of that during the ROM building.
awesome, good luck man, and great work on the draft and the league so far, i appreciate it
