*repeatedly bangs head into desk*
One pick, and you HAD to take him.
Ah well, it's nice when you've got a .312 hitter too fall back on. Even better when he's a rookie.
RF NICK MARKAKIS
EDIT: Neither he nor Uggla played in 2005. Are they ineligible to be drafted?
Erik Bedard
09-01-2006, 06:29 PM
You guys want to make some team names? Then I can start doing the draft in the Diamond Mind League...
What I know so far:
J25nadroj2042: Bronx Bombers
Erik Bedard: Flames
jwkfs: Bighorns
AznInvasion: Sluggers

Well... blame it on Azn, I wanted Sizemore lol... also as for the players who did not play last season and do not appear on the DMB disk, I'll just make place holders for them in the draft... so they'll still be on teams

Also, after the draft we should use the reverse order (to be fair) to pick what ballparks our teams will be playing in
Erik Bedard
09-01-2006, 06:35 PM
Yes, so Chris can analyze the park factor and get the best park for his team. I'll get 2nd pick, which is nice.
And make sure you post in the Rosters thread!

OK, now post in the Rosters thread as that name -- wait, I'll bump it.
Astro
09-01-2006, 06:39 PM
blah hate making so many back to back posts... but hate to edit posts too because people miss things
Need a League Name, city and team names for each aswell
Also I have all the season disk back to 2003 (I have them all the way back to 99 but I'd need to go buy a jump drive to transfer them from my desktop to my laptop since before 2003 they were on disks)... so we could draft teams and just run seasons all the way from 99 to the present... like start with 99 and do maybe 3 games a day everyday... we'd get to 2006 in a bout 2 years or so.... could do more then that a day if people wanted...
Just would be rather difficult since so many young players are being picked
Honus Wagner
09-01-2006, 06:41 PM

this is stupid, but actual city names?
i'm a nomad, so i don't lay claim to any city
i wanted to be Aoki's Shave Ice

Yes actual cities.... you dont have to live there, just pick a city.... I will probably go with San Diego, and I live in Louisville
Erik Bedard
09-01-2006, 06:42 PM
That would be difficult; I'm not too familiar with DiamondMind, more into OOTP and Mogul. Can you run multiple seasons?
Actual city... hmm, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I can run as many seasons as I wish... But I ment string them together such as start with 99 (or 2003 might be better since the rosters are so young) and string them together, run the 162 game season in bout 50 or 60 days, playoffs then once the playoffs are over start the 2004 season right after, maybe 2 or 3 days later... that will give us something to do while we wait for december to roll around for the 2006 stat disk

That makes sense. I'm just wondering how this'll work with all these rookies, such as Markakis, Liriano, Uggla, Verlander, and Papelbon. I mean, they could be created on the game... Can you go into the future? Or is that just with the projections disk? Maybe OOTP would be better, but you can't create a custom league...

Id have to have their stats to go into the future... and since they are rookies or had very few IP/ABs last season it wouldnt simulate well
Erik Bedard
09-01-2006, 07:17 PM
True, true. Maybe we could, say, sim with only the players who played last year, to get a feel for it, and then do the rest with the 2006 game? In DiamondMind, can you sim into 2007 with the 2006 game? I'd hate to make you spend money on this.

I get the disks for free, because my brother runs a league... I'll just get the disk when im at his apartment
You could simulate seasons over and over again using the same stats... but unless you redraft teams everytime it would really be pointless as the results would be nearly the same

Of course they dont progress... DMB bases it on real life, so they progress/degress how much in the sim, as they did the season before

um problem, we have recived word that do to personal reasons, YL can no longer visit BBF. Including this, he has resigned from the League leading New York Yankees in BBFTG, and his spot in that as league simulator. If anyone has Baseball Mogul 07, we will be very happy.
Honus Wagner
09-02-2006, 08:03 PM
well i hope everything is okay
when erik logs on, he'll need to decide whether we find an owner or just go to a 12-team league
i vote for a 12-team league, continue with the draft and have a supplemental draft for YL's 5 players
AznInvasion
09-02-2006, 08:40 PM
Ichiro severely overrated? I guess there's a first time for everything. At this stage, it's a bargain for me anyway. He's gonna prolly be my leadoff hitter and play a superb RF defensively for me. I'm happy with that. I sorta agree that he probably is slightly overrated but I still think he's very good.
Honus Wagner Rules

I did some research on the subject of sim games, and I found this: OOTP is great for this, almost as realistic as DiamondMind, and you can go into the future; however, it's really slow to sim. Baseball Mogul isn't as accurate, but it's quite a bit easier. OOTP is available for Mac, so I could do that; however, I'd need 35 bucks. :D Just kidding. I'm not sure if you can advance multiple seasons with the same season disc, so I don't know if that would work. OOTP is good for this purpose, and I wouldn't mind simming it. Baseball Mogul would work as well, and DiamondMind will do as well; however, I'd prefer to use OOTP... I just don't have it yet.

Alright. Are you going to edit the list in the first post? I just noticed that it's not up to date... And I think that someone (I could do it) should make an alphabetized list of players chosen to make it easier to keep track of players picked. Anyone think it's worth it?

it's good we got ya, an alphabetized list would be great!!!

my last pick, i had to choose between hanley and rollins...i went with the power, though hanley's youth and value to salary were hard to overlook...i was going to take him with my 7th pick and just DH him or move rollins to 2b
now the player i'll get with my next pick won't be nearly as good

OK, as the commisioner of this league, I have made an executive decision:
Draft the best players you can. The salary cap will be instated after the first season, or maybe at the ASB of the first season. Go ahead and pass people up because of their likely price tags, but you can draft anyone you want, as long as you don't mind them being one-season rentals.
Guys, get familiar with this.

Alright so who's up?
CanadianKid
09-10-2006, 08:47 AM
wow I thought he was allready chosen, cause I remember I would of took him in the 2nd round! wow.
I still dont see why TKOK cant take Lee if the # guy can take Abreu.
Abreu wasn't chosen, he wasn't on the alpha list.

Abreu wasn't chosen, he wasn't on the alpha list.
TKOK made a fake pick for Derek Lee (who knows why). So everyone assumed that he was chosen. Now when I pointed that out, everyone realised. But since everyone thought he was already chosen, it was unfair to let him be chosen. So now he's a FA. Abreu, however, was just a sleeper. No one faked a pick for him, so he was fair game. Just a good pickup. The list has nothing to do with it.

I was just saying Abreu's name hadn't come up. No one mentioned him so his name wasn't on the list so 538280 took him.

Are we still using an 8-hour clock? Or did we shorten it...
Myankee gets a full 8 hrs...it's the clock that runs 2am-7am that was causing confusion
and RHP, you've been making good picks w/salary cap in mind...at least A-rod's production has increased the past week
Richmond Hill Phoenix
09-10-2006, 12:58 PM
Thanks, however, that may change with my next pick. It's a debate within. I have two guys. One is middle-career and high salary. The other is young and promising... Hmm...

My bad. I noticed you missed a few picks earlier but you edited now. I'll leave it to you now.
Richmond Hill Phoenix
09-10-2006, 01:13 PM
No worries. We posted almost at the same time.
I want to draft right now!!! I have my draft all planned out now.
We should get everyone here at the same time to do like 5 rounds quick-time. I wonder if that's even possible with everyone's busy schedules.
Honus Wagner
09-10-2006, 01:25 PM
RHP, i 2nd the "live" draft concept to get through a bunch of picks @ once
i also thought about these options:
1) a schedule in which everyone would have a designated 4hr window
it would go like 8am-12noon, 12noon to 4pm, 4pm-8pm, 8pm-midnight...that way we would get through 4 picks/day
2) 1 pick per day for everyone
a) 1st come, 1st served or a
b) 13-hr clock from 9am-10pm...1 hour per pick...the order would change each day...for example, CK #1 today would go to #13 tomorrow
in any case, i'll try and not take your guys

I definitly think we should shorten the window. If you're not here for the first 4-6 hours, you're probably not gonna be here for the eighth hour.
However, I don't think that the one pick per day rule will work. People live in different time-zones, and it would just lead to too much controversy.
All in favour of shortening the draft window to 6 (or even 4) hours?
PS. Great, now I have to wait until HW Rules comes back...
CanadianKid
09-10-2006, 02:01 PM
I'm in favor of shortening it. I don't know if I'd able to do the method with everyone having 4 picks a day. I usually log on at 7-8am EST, 12pm EST, 4pmEST and sometimes late at night.

no, i didn't mean 4 picks per person per day...i meant that we pre-scheduled picks in a 4-hr window...that way everyone would know when they needed to pick and would only get those 4 hours or be passed
CanadianKid
09-10-2006, 02:14 PM
Oh. Alright ya I'm down with that.
Erik Bedard
09-10-2006, 02:31 PM
I doubt we can do a "live" draft. I can usually be on 7-7:30 AM and 3:30-5:30 PM, but that's it. Although if we could get everyone on at around 4:00, or a few people, and they give others proxies...

Richmond Hill Phoenix
09-10-2006, 06:50 PM
I leave for school at 7:45, get back at 3:15. So any time that's not school is good for me. And I have lunch from 11- 12:15. That works too.
PS: If you find any players missing from the list, or names misspelled, just send me a PM and I'll fix it.

Who thought he was taken? I sure didnt think he was taken...
Also, maybe we should try to cut back on all the chatting going on, and only post picks... maybe make another thread for talking in... since with all the talk, it clutters up the topic and makes it difficult to determine whos pick it is
