He has good stamina. All the prospects are like that pitching wise

[Mr. Radpants]

How's his stamina?

 

[Orlando]

At least he has good stamina.

[Yankee151]

Pitching wise

 

[Yankee151]

That's what I get for trying to argue on mobile.

Faruk was one of the best pitchers available, and my system is devoid of pitching entirely, so I needed to go there. I am not worried about his third pitch, if it actually develops he'll be a monster but just having it + pitching wise + stamina will be enough to take him places with his other two pitches. Didn't like the 2B JD took.

 

[doh]

I liked the 2B JD took 100x more than Faruk but to each his own. The player JD took IMO is a solid above average regular with a bit of potential to be a star.

@fignuts

 

[fignuts]

Nah, b. @Karl Hungus is up then Cairo.

 

[Gooksta]

shit my bad. was at the poker table when made the pick and got that all mixed up.. lol

 

[fignuts]

No problemo @Gooksta. You win anything tonight? I have luck when it comes to casinos.

 

[OU11]

I can't believe I traded my first for Jorge now. I'm so dumb, Inions looks awesome

 

[jdlikewhoa]

I thought for sure Tankee was going to take him. I wanted to trade up for doh's pick because I thought for sure him or Yankee would take Inions, but doh made his pick pretty quick after posting that he was willing to trade it

 

[fignuts]

Inions looks like an avg ball player according to mah scout.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

For a middle IF he looks elite

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Save us @Karl Hungus

 

[Karl Hungus]

@fignuts

 

[OU11]

I didnt out much money into scouting the draft but this is how mt scout sees him. Number 3 overall in the draft IMO

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Was fig in the UBL? Maybe he didn't experience the scarcity of MIF talent.

 

[OU11]

He had Virginia Beach before you did

 

[doh]

For me it was between guy I took and Inoinis. The clear top two of who was left. The guy I took just was a much better fit for my ballpark (I need OF defense, gap hitting and most importantly LH hitters).

But again Tankee must be on drugs to take Faruk over him.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Faruk will be an eventual All-Star. I like the pick.

 

[Yankee151]

Inoins ceiling is Zounes Muthai, Ill take a pitcher since they are more scarce

 

[Orlando]

My scout hates everyone. He has 1 4* and one 3.5* and that's it in the class.

 

[Orlando]

@doh your pick is really interesting. He is a true 2-way prospect.

 

[OU11]

@fignuts is going to get skipped

 

[doh]

@doh your pick is really interesting. He is a true 2-way prospect.

Yes that's part of the reason I got him.. if he bombs as a hitter I'll convert him to a P.

 

[Orlando]

Yeah he is a stud. Nice pick. Probably my favorite in the draft so far based on your position. Mahoney is the only bat I liked more, but Farid had good college numbers and improved those numbers the second year.

Lots of interesting later round arms and bats in this draft though. I remember when a 55/55/55 pitcher was a GOOD pitcher in the UBL.

Yeah we have like 10-15 Howard Alexanders

 

[Orlando]

HoAl was overrated doe.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

HoAl was worthless in the playoffs. Valentin was a stud.

 

[Orlando]

Yeah knuckles was legit. Stan was the GOAT playoff pitcher doe.

 

[OU11]

Yeah knuckles was legit. Stan was the GOAT playoff pitcher doe.

Dat homerun he would hit in game 6 or 7 every year

 

[Orlando]

Do you still have the UBL save in Dropbox? I was going to try to upload the website, but I guess I deleted it.

 

[OU11]

Don't think so, it is on my other computer too. I'll try to get it up tomorrow, wouldn't mind a trip down memory lane

 

[Orlando]

where is @fignuts ?

 

[fignuts]

Woke up bout 15 min ago. Am on a night schedule. Sorry fellas. Have a list set up cause I knew this would happen.

Edit: Aaand list wasn't used.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

At least you had a list. @NML

 

[Orlando]

You gotta select "Auto from list if time expires"

 

[Orlando]

@OU11 is NML out of town?

 

[OU11]

Til today. Idk if that means hes getting back tonight or in the morning

 

[doh]

HoAl was worthless in the playoffs. Valentin was a stud.

Crab was the best pitcher in the league 3x and was awesome until he went from throwing 95 to throwing 84 over the course of 8-10 months.

 

[Gooksta]

pitch count probably woulda helped

 

[doh]

Oh god… I had him on a pitch count AND in years I was out of it I'd have him miss his last 3-4 starts.

 

[Orlando]

I think the 2 pitch types just have a shorter shelf life, so he racked up innings a lot faster than as a reliver. Same thing happened to Boyd. Pitch count? Crab had 80 stamina.

i know, I was messin.. ha ha

 

[Orlando]

I did seem like some guys just fell off with no gradual decrease in production. Position players too.

 

[doh]

Todd Wrecked Ruffin was like that. From top 10 in OPS every year to just average. He was fragile then wrecked tho.
