Don't set a Closer! Leaving Wagner as a SuA will leave him open to being used more and in big spots

what he said. One of the biggest frustrations in HBD is how simmy recommends/people regularly put high DUR/STA guys as closers and limit them to 40-50 innings a year when they could get so much more.

Godspeed, Erick Duran. You helped kill Art's rebuild and won a WS with me, so I'll love you forever.

nasboat
Sep 9, 2004

Devo posted:

Depends if Duran keeps declining in-season or if that spring training thing was a one time blip this season

My assumption is he won't lose much of anything else this year, then will take more frequent hits starting next season, which is how it happened with Mendoza.

With his skill set, he should still be good for the next 2-3 seasons, and with Buffalo looking to make a run with Cleveland vulnerable and all his guys up, I think it makes sense for both sides.

Also the sleeper part of this is Duvall, who gives them a legit bullpen workhorse and a clear upgrade over Bill Worthington.

FI/GL below 20, STR/ACC in the 60s

it's generally thought a better idea to stick your DH types in RF instead of 1B because RF sees less plays in general and DHs generally have strong arms which is enough to mitigate some of the poor plays and errors.

at least I think that's the basic gist of it. DHs at 1B are minus-play machines, as I recall (not to mention the low glove and errors).

e: sometimes I wonder if they've tweaked the game since we started with that idea, because I just looked at Zack Padden from my Regular Joes team, and he's had a number of minus plays in RF in addition to roughly a .950 FPCT. However, I won two WS with him playing RF so it didn't hurt me that much.

Funny thing about this, even though I didn't drop any in spending, Roundtree isn't in my draft pool. WIS is protecting y'all.

even with 20m scouting in both HS and college, there's a chance you could not see a top prospect (or even more than one top prospect), it's kind of dumb but basically paying for more scouting just increases the chances of you seeing someone

I've gotten burned on multiple occasions with this, most notably in S15 when I had 11/11 scouting (not great but not awful) and only saw 3 of the top 15 guys drafted. :(
