2008 Stock RBI Fantasy Draft

[GDavis]

I probably should've asked before we started drafting, but will the pitchers be righties or lefties?

It'll depend on what hand your #9 hitter bats with.

Oh my, an interesting twist!

[GDavis]

Are we allowed to do a (simple flip-flop) based on who our opponent is?

Is this true?

[ultimate7]

yes, Stock said it in some post

[BeefMaster]

Found it:

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).

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.

Interesting.

Stock, FYI, Chuck Knoblauch pitches sidearm.

Does that make it easier to plunk Olbermann's mother?

[GDavis]

Care to make another reference that I won't get Man Freddy?  Maybe something about college sports?

For GDavis, who clearly is a Yankees historian...

I am only going to allow 3 opportunities to switch a lineup throughout the season.  (There will be an 18 week season + playoffs).
1.  After Week 6 is complete.
2.  After Week 12 is complete.
3.  After week 18 is complete (ie.. before the playoffs start)

I am already going to be playing 300+ games, not including playoffs as well as keeping team and player stats up to date on a weekly basis.  I don't need to be wasting any time constantly altering ROMs.

This draft was moving along at a decent pace until mclane drafted his 6th 1st basemen

Don't worry, I doubt this will be the first time I've brought it to a screeching halt.
