Yeah I'm a fan of working with RL stadiums. Much less prone to gaming the system. No injuries sounds good.

No budgets. I think it's enough effort without adding that.

The Pirates request the following strategic settings:

Sliders to be placed exactly one tick from the the leftmost side:
Use Hit & Run
Use Run & Hit
All 3 Bunts
Intentional Walk
Hook Starting Pitcher

Sliders to be placed at 75%
Stealing Bases/Baserunning
Use Infield Shift
Favor L/R Matchup

All of our pitchers would have a 110 pitch limit in a given game, though that may become cumbersome for you and be fine to leave out.

Is it possible you may want to wait until you actually have players to determine your strategies?

With the #1 pick, the Colorado Rockies select Mike The Millville Meteor Trout, CF.

With the most obvious pick of the draft out of the way, the Pittsburgh Pirates are on the clock!

I guess that's one way to see it. I'd probably rather have Donaldson than Beltre at this point, but it's a philosophical difference I guess.

Hey Pander its kind of frowned upon to bring up undrafted guys.

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.

Oh. Wasn't aware that was bad.

Harlock posted:

Depending on how the ratings flesh out, Sale is a top 5-10 starter with random distribution. My last OOTP15 file he was a 10/8/8. With injuries off, he should be great.

I don't care about ratings or if he was a good pick I'm just happy he went to the Sox.

You can just look at his baseball-reference page. Note that his career slash is something like .298/.350/.500 or so. The power is nice, but he just doesn't take a crazy amount of walks or hit enough dingers for guy hitting at Coors half his games to be super-elite. He's won a couple GGs, but again he's not elite defensively.

He's a great piece to have and if I had him when my pick comes up in the second round I'd jump on him. But for round one you want a slam dunk superstar, not a 'pretty darn good hitter'.

At this point I'd guess the question for you would be how much OOTP balances career #s vs recent #s vs recent trend.

If it favors recent history and his trend, Gomez is a solid pick. If it doesn't, it's a big reach, even for one of the best defensive CFs.

Good luck

How does "no injuries" affect the ratings of players who have been marginal for significant periods of time due to injuries?

As a jokey example, say Mark Prior?

If a player is a shell of themselves, and play like it, because of injuries, you will get that shell but he will not be hurt all the time.

If a player is awesome but gets hurt a lot and misses time, but continues being awesome when he's not hurt, you will get that awesome but he will not be hurt all the time.

Cool, thanks.

I picked! Kinda surprised Kipnis fell to me, figured he'd be taken early.

Perez might be a stretch, but I like his potential and defense.

Yeah this is what I'm worried about, I'm already seeing picks and thinking "drat I forgot about him". I don't have that good of a grasp on who might be a good sleeper pick.

I like looking at fantasy draft analyses for 2014 and sorting by position. Since those rarely take defense into consideration, a little bit more investigation is required, but generally it helps me remember to make a note of some players at some positions who could provide good value at later spots.

I'd recommend making a googledoc spreadsheet of your team sorta like what the publicly available doc has. Then, as you run through the list, mark down the players you really want, and where you might think they go.

With 30 teams going, this will not be the typical happy fantasy draft. Someone will end up with a literal Nick Punto (or reasonable facsimile) since there simply aren't 30 good players at every position. So just single out what you think might be good values, and don't worry too much because pretty much everyone is, at the end of the day, going to be gnashing their teeth at some position or another.
