While we wait for the final few teams to fill out, feel free to suggest anything else that might be a fun twist to the league. I'm flexible on everything except the scouting and coaching being off, because having those on will mess up user strategies. I'll add in the possible things that you can tweak to the third post tomorrow.

Things to consider:

Bigger rosters: The game comes with pretty much every player in the minors built in. All the way down to that 26 year old that somehow still has a job in Rookie ball. This would be ideal if people want to sim more than one season or if you want injuries on.

Injuries: That being said, I'm not sure having them on is the best idea. It's fun for leagues but not so much for something like this that isn't intended to be one. But if the people want them, I'm open.

Extra Seasons: as mentioned above, I can do as many seasons as we want, to a reasonable limit. Randomly generated draft picks would start being relevant after a few seasons, and we can't have any of that in our fake simulation.

Different locations: Stadiums can be created, current ones can be edited, etc. If people want to move somewhere else (within reason), go hog wild.

???: Can you come up with something else fun? The power...is YOURS!

Can you leave on preexisting injuries, but turn off new ones?

I'd like finances off, the only way that there are consequences to big contracts is if there are budgets and if they use the engine's engrained budgets its unfair for some people.

One idea, however (if it's easy), is to set every team's budget to 110m (roughly league average).

As for time of sim, I'd suggest 3 years.

I have pick #20 and am willing to trade back if anyone wants to move into the first round. it would probably take a 2nd and 3rd or a 2nd, 4th, and 6th

is there any spreadsheet online that has the OOTP ratings and stuff. I've been looking this morning, because I only have 14 and I'm sure some positional stuff has changed (e.g. is Joe Mauer still a catcher in the game?)

edit- BTW now that Yadi's off the board, I was really thinking about getting him at 11, but wasn't sure how good the sim is at recreating the entire Yadi package.

I had the same concern, but a 6WAR player became excellent value at 20 irrespective of the other stuff.

it sucks that they basically just use PECOTA because Nick Punto will be terrible in the game because they predicted heavy regression

and with regression Nick Punto, Chris Davis, off the board that's who I was talking about. PECOTA has him having a terrible season...they project Punto having a better season.

Well, gently caress. I knew that he was going to probably going to regress a little, but they really think he's going to be that terrible?

they have him hitting 32 home runs, but only batting .260/.324 and striking out 180 times, making him the 120th best outfield player WARP-wise.

I am very happy to have been able to get Jared Weaver here. He is (In my opinion) the last ace available.

That being said, there is one player that I am honestly extremely shocked has not been picked yet considering how good he is, and the position he plays. I expect him to be taken soon, but this punto fell hard!.

there are a bunch of awesome pitchers available.

Well that's way higher than I expected Simmons to go. He was the autodraft that OOTP has been waiting to drop on someone for a while.

I agree, if only because I'm not sure that picking a one-way player in the early rounds is sound strategy. I'm not sure what Simmons provides that Nick Punto doesn't.

Extreme groundball pitching rotation might make it worth it?

Probably early, but I'd hesitate calling it terrible.

It's not terrible, he's the best defensive player in baseball.

This is partially because nobody on my list was taken in the last five picks so I need to figure out which one I want and partially because I'm at work

Yes. I was 100% convinced you were trading up to get him. I know he's been having a bit of a poo poo season in real life, but we're in stat nerd land where none of that matters. Craig is a RHB that can drive the gaps really well, which makes him a pretty drat good fit for PETCO.

In a vacuum I'd probably prefer Craig as a hitter, but there are like no good second basemen left
