So an interesting thing happened in Clemens*. Otis Sheehan, my comp #1 from the pick I didn't sign last season declined. I tried 6 more times, doing everything including upping the money to everything I had left, and giving him a spring training invite. Finally, I tried one more time, not changing anything, and he accepted. Don't know why. Anyone have any precedent for this?

I've got the number one pick in Zimmer. Default #1 on my board is this guy  He's obviously super splits and control man but his pitch ratings are a little low and he has no stamina. Default #3 is this guy  Now inning for inning I don't think he's as good, but there are a whole shitload more innings in that arm and I like guys with a really good P1. So between the willingness to sign and innings available I would be silly not to take Deveraux, right? Comedy high OVR position player option  I mean he's cool and all but no way I'm taking him #1 overall.

If I could guarantee they would hit their ratings there is a very good chance I would go with Mantalban, but Deveraux's starting points make him the better bet to hit his projections, which pushes him over the top for me. And Stein is really, really, really good. I wouldn't take him over those other two but that guy would not be a terrible 1st overall pick by any stretch.

Yeah I would obviously love Stein in a vacuum I just don't think he compares to either pitcher at all

I think Mantalban's low stamina is compensated for a bit by his higher durability. You could get a lot of low inning starts out of him plus that control is dreamy. It's really close I think, can't go wrong either way but I think I agree that Devruwhabzhshaux is the way to go. Good stamina, good control, good P1. Velocity is low and I have a theory that it can be what pushes pitchers to the next tier but that's pure speculation

So a new season of random champs and chumps is upon us. I got 1995NL, 1964NL, 1961NL, and 1959AL. Basically, I either have a really goddamn amazing offense filled with Mays, Aaron, Kaline, and Santo, and 2/3rds of a good pitching staff with not great relievers, or a mediocre offense with really great pitching. I'm not sure any champ year will give me both.

This is my build for '61 champs. Most of my relief is a disaster, but I don't have a lot of options. If I use '95 as champs, I can get a rotation of Drysdale, Koufax, and Maddux, but the hitting is not near as good.

Gotta get that pitching, I'll take awesome pitching with mediocre offense over good offense with decent pitching

This is what I was able to put together. I think i'd rather have Mays and Aaron, but this is good too I guess.

Here is my '59 champs team. This is definitely the best all around pitching, but I think the offense is a bit weak. Edit: oops, replace Pascual with 64 Koufax. Still good pitching. ArtVandelay fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Feb 13, 2015 |

This is the team I entered. Koufax just didn't pitch enough innings, so I couldn't keep him.

I miss the good old days when we had Goon Leagues with fun themes in WiS and we were able to make fun of each other and Jefferson/AV slaughtered us all.

We should totally do one I think it's been long enough that the burnout has faded away, we just need a good fun idea

I'm always up for joining a simleague I want to do another cloned player in Coors league just one more time. The offense was hilarious and it was so fun.

I will do a Goon Pick Six if there is interest!kensei posted:I read that response earlier and was thinking expansion to expansion myself, so 1969 to 1993 works great!

So here is my champs and chumps team. I got 57NL, 70AL, 97NL, and 02AL. I originally had Piazza at catcher, but I sacrificed him because I wanted ARod more. Also 295 dingers. Any major critiques on this team?

I ended up getting Ramon Santiago in random captain. Hooray? I don't think Crazy checked players again. What a terrible captain to get.

With 3 games to go in the Clemens season, i've won 93 games and have the 1st wildcard. Last season I won 73 games. Brian Jodie and Jaret Fox are awesome.
