2008 Stock RBI Fantasy Draft

[Darky]

Thanks for waiting for me assholes. I'll just wait till somebody disappears so I can take over a team again.

Fuck, so I'm all over europe for a few days and come back to see this? I knew I should have visited dee nee during my swing around europe fighting the establishment.

If you check with Shooty, he may be willing to give you (or at least co-manage) his team.
Aparently he has some other important things going on in his life right now.

I almost took Hornsby with my second round pick... argh...

[fknmclane]

I'll take Fatty Ortiz.  He's available, right?

[Nacho]

He's also a DH only... Are we going to let him play 1B?

This league has rules, according to those rules, Ortiz can play 1B.

This league has rules, according to those rules, Ortiz can play 1B.

As long as he has played in at least 150 games at 1st base, he is eligible.
If not.....

[Nacho]

Are we drafting 12 deep (as in RBI)?

[BeefMaster]

No.  9 starters, and that's it - with the DH, there's no need for pinch hitters (I assume Stock either maxes out or minimizes pitchers' stamina).

he has by a pretty large margin.

Beefmaster has it.
Last year for pitchers, they all got a 0 rating for curves and sinkers.  Curve & Fast speed equal to 130.  Sinker speed equal to 95.  Stamina 99.  No sidearm pitchers.  Strikeouts and walks turned off.
The only pitcher attribute you will have control over is whichever batter you choose to bat in the 9th spot will be the hand of your teams pitcher.  .... but shouldn't really matter.

Your intent should be to put together the best offensive team possible in a "straight pitch" style format, as that is what I am trying to recreate.

[Nacho]

Ah, didn't know that.  Almost totally eliminates the need for good contact.

To some extent.  I will still be swinging at most strikes, so don't expect I am good enough to get the sweet spot with every swing.  On pitches on the corner of the plate, I am not sure it is even possible to hit the sweet spot.

[Nacho]

So you are actually playing this?  Either I didn't read this right or I am taking in a lot of new info.

Yes.  The offense will be done exactly like last year's.

I will be playing offense for both teams in every game.  The computer will be playing defense for both teams in every game.  (picture a watch-game mode where I keep switching controllers b/w innings).
