Draft Analysis

[Gantry]

I can't wait for the season to start, Stock is going to be a VERY busy man.  Stock - I expect that you'll be posting videos of the game? 

[Shooty]

I agree with alot of what Gantry says regardin the computer fielding.  Which is why I chose Franco over similarly fast guys with more power.  Against the computer, if you have a fast guy, the dinkier the hit, the better the result.  I didn't want a guy with 780 power hitting a hard ground ball and getting thrown out more easily or hitting a weak flyball.  Franco will be gold, Jerry, gold.

P.S. the Nokes pick was fawful (fucking awful).

Not to beat a dead horse, but I didn't like the Nokes pick either. Not that Nokes is a bad player, but he would have easily been around for Rack in the 3rd round and maybe even the fourth.

Surely there was another stud available at that point in the draft?

Like Brunansky?  Or Raines?  LOL.

have you ever played RBI Baseball before?  The NES version??

[WeatherMatt]

Well Raines was gone. But Rupperto? Hrbek? (Although I am kicking myself for passing on Hrbek myself) That's just the lefties.

Yikes Rack, your non-Bo/Ca/Dt ignorance is showing.  Both of these guys are way better than Nokes, no matter what version....

But even if you don't like these guys, there is no logic for taking Nokes over Rupperto.  None...

[GDavis]

Raines has about the same power rating as Nokes, but with Vince Coleman speed.  I also feel like as a pure hitter Raines plays much better than Nokes does.

actually, aren't we still waiting on Nomaaa's last pick?


but other than that, props to everyone for paying attention

[Gantry]

We are, but stock already said that he has unlimited time since it's the final pick...

Agreed - a smooth draft mostly thanks to the good work of Stock...

[Attezz]

As an outsider looking in (peeping Tom), I'd say that Gantry's line up is the best so far.  Although I don't think I've seen 'em all and I am a "non-straight" kinda guy, too.

You sure change your tune fast.

How did Kips get such a better line up than the rest of you?  Not even close...

[Gantry]

Fkn flip-flopping cheater...  Kips' lineup is quality, his bottom of the order is definitely stronger than mine...
