I, perhaps unsurprisingly given the team I picked, am against the budget.

In fantasy I could see a Miggy > Trout argument, but in something like this, where speed is a bigger factor than in fantasy, and where defense actually IS a factor, to me Trout is the obvious choice.

Prozach posted:Really? I don't want to shill the $40 to get a better picture of how good they are in the simulation, but I don't want to get screwed over every time I pick either just because I'm not familiar with how the system values players. You don't even need OOTP to know he isn't top-10. Look at his OPS+ and his home/away splits next time you're on baseball-reference. His raw numbers are top-10, but when you account for Coors...

I was considering Harper for my pick, but I figured the positional scarcity argument pointed towards Beltre.

IcePhoenix posted:That actually raises an interesting question because he's not injured but he sure is suspended. Ahahahahahaha holy loving poo poo, I just looked him up in OOTP to see how bad they think he'd be:  So maybe it's already wiped out because OOTP is treating it as an injury?

I figure since I'm playing in YS3, and I can stick him at 1B rather than ask him to patrol the OF, Trumbo's not a bad pick here. e: And I think this makes my Yanks the first team to fill up their IF.

Okay, I think kensei had the steal of the draft with Wlad. I wanted to see what he could do, so I unretired him and ran a season.

CFBalla posted:I think this might border on gaming the system, since Wlad never even OPS+ over around 80 during his short, 3 year MLB career where he never played a full season. Still, great pick kensei! I mean, I dunno. His MLB time came at the ages of 23 and 24 and he was in Japan by the time he hit 26, so it's quite possible he just put it all together and if he came back to MLB he could do it. I dunno. And yeah, YS3

IcePhoenix posted:Before people start getting clever after kensei's gambit: if a player has never played in the MLB I cannot "unretire" them and add them to the player pool. I'm also not going to unretire anyone who actually retired. gently caress, I was legitimately planning on drafting Roy Halladay and Chris Carpenter.

I was going back and forth between Springer and Moss for my pick and that was why I wanted to get another 8th rounder, so I could get both.

Mornacale posted:Really dislike the Aoki pick for you positionally. Marte is a natural CF with an outstanding arm; he shouldn't be in LF even in Pittsburgh, and NYS doesn't have the North Side Notch. I'm not convinced that Marte/Polanco/Aoki is a better OF than Moss/Marte/Polanco, and I suspect that there are still all-bat-no-glove guys out there to fill in your DH. I'm "cheating" a little bit in that I have OOTP and can peek at the various ratings. Marte is at 90/80 (yes you read that right) for LF and 65/80 at CF. Polanco is 75/80 at RF and 70/80 at CF. Aoki is 60/80 at RF, and Moss is 50/80.
