Epsilon Moonshade posted:I have no idea how fantasy baseball works, so I think I'm just going to watch this thread. This isn't even "fantasy baseball", it's "fantasy video game baseball simulation organized by a madman". By madman I don't mean an insane person, I mean an angry person. But he's great. Anyway pre-existing knowledge of anything beyond picking out 12 points of feeders isn't necessary. If you've ever played Galaxy Trucker board game you'll know that some of the best fun you can have is making a design so madcap loony and unstable is blows in half after the first foray out into the unknown. You can pick out feeders at random, put together the most hardscrabble and insane team seen yet, and still have fun wondering "maybe, just maybe this team can make something of themselves" like a virtual Indians team from Major League. Odds are no, they'll do horrible and get blown up in a fiery earth-shattering kaboom, but that's the adventure! And the icing on top is that some other person who knows everything about baseball, fantasy baseball, maybe even had multiple previous teams in the league, will do even worse, because that's baseball!

Paul Zuvella posted:Hello folks! I just realized whoever linked the Little league/Big league world series feeder did a weird thing and linked to a wikipedia page that doesnt actually show who you get. so basically a 97 Sheffield. 86 Gooden in there to break your heart. 88 Lansford miiiiight be playable. Boog Powell should be a bit better but isn't. Not bad for 1 point, Sheff's stock has been on the rise lately, good bat-first RF.

mrnoun posted:Lansford plays 3rd base, hits a few home runs and doesn't strike out 150 times a season. By Mogul standards, that makes him perfectly playable. Just by '88 he was winding down, and Mogul knows it. Yeah, lemme rephrase that. Lansford is playable, especially at a slightly scarce position like 3rd base, but whether he'll hit and defend well given (1) he was good but not all-time great and (2) he's getting a bit long in the tooth is an open question.

Pander posted:You did, you listed RF before LF in the position listing, which I never see and made me wonder if you were insane when I thought you had Walker in left and Simmons in right. Also I totally get what you're going for and it's cool, if a bit derivative, but I really think even with a short porch in right that old Mathewson is a much better bet at SP5 than Baumgartner.

Faustoan Bargain posted:Am I a reprehensible dick if I factor this in with an existing desire to experiment with guys in expansion period who probably won't be on my "regular season" team? (Trick question, I'm a reprehensible dick for other reasons altogether!) Or is "bench the safe picks, see what you can get out of risky guys" a viable strategy? I've got absolutely nothing against trying unusual guys. It's just if I see a guy like Tris Speaker benched for Aaron Hicks or something just to get a better draft pick then yeah, that's kind of a dick move.

Faustoan Bargain posted:Thanks, you have a good point - there's no need to start off using a definite weakness when I want to know if Vizquel can give me enough at the plate. David Justice doesn't have a great history in the SL but I kinda like him. His contact suffers a little cause he struck out about 90 times a season and hit 20 points under .300, and by 34 he's getting a little old, but you can do worse than trying to see if he can draw walks and hit dingers for you.
