mks5000 posted:He's a plus defender in Centerfield who gets on base at an average clip. This late in the draft I'm pretty happy with that pick Ehh on the CF defense, but the point is that yeah, you are getting an adequate outfielder with a good eye, no power at all, and no chance of anything more than that. If someone wants to roll the dice on a fun lottery ticket, you're not contractually obligated to be lovely about it.

It's gonna be obvious who I'm talking about, but if a Punto is not suspended in real life but OOTP says he's suspended because he's taking time off, will that suspension be erased?

I'm going through the team tabs in the draft spreadsheet for a few chuckles, and I just found LEFTY MADNESS. That poo poo's funny in a way that unfortunate taxidermy can't even touch. If the owner hadn't pointed it out, I never would have noticed. Are there any historical teams in the majors that tried a sinister lineup like this, for real? I have no idea how much of an advantage a lefty batter actually has on a normal non-mutant pitcher, but some madman GM must have tried it at some point. gently caress, I don't even know if I have any lefty pitchers yet.

As far as I'm concerned Dempster is retired. I also torpedoed his ratings already so he wouldn't show up on autodraft (I did the same for A-Rod) I'd have to fix that and I have no idea what they were.

CJ Cron was a bad pick, but I was at a bar and couldn't remember all the people I wanted as a potential DH except him, and saw that I was up so yeah. I probably should have just asked IcePhoenix to autodraft for me.

CJ Cron was someone I was looking at as a potential bench bat, not as an everyday player

It was only before my Scutaro pick that I even realized it myself. I decided to check everyone's handedness at that point and my only reaction was "Oh." I guess I'm rolling with it for the most part, although now I've kinda forced my own hand in what bench players I need to go after.

I mean at this point there aren't a lot of great players left. I think Cron at least has that power upside. I can think of a couple guys left who might be better overall hitters but I don't think they have Cron's potential to hit dingers. I think it's a lot more shameful we let Jay slide as far as he did. He's not a guy who does any one thing exceptionally well but he's a reasonably good all-around player with a slight weakness in his defense in center field (but not terrible). tadashi fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Jun 6, 2014 |

If you still have that effort post on Jeter somewhere, mentholmoose, put it in here when you have the chance. I want to read it because we should all get the chance to bask in Jeter's light one last time.
