2041 WBL Draft Thread (8 Hour Time Limit)

[Orlando]

I think he fits my plan and the way I've been building the last couple of years. Might not have been the right choice for everyone.

Fair enough. With Campbell unavailable I can understand that. I'd stack my rotation as much as possible in the WBL though. Even if you like your prospects.

 

[osick87]

And then bring them to the majors and blow their arms up.

I have my draft strategy that I think will work well.

I still think there will be value at the bottom of the round when it comes to pitching. If Na or Olsen pan out, Aguilar holds steady, and Mustafa and Kiene develop as they should I'll be stacked with young arms. Still have plenty of budget to make a splash in FA too.

 

[osick87]

My scout was pretty high on Zwager. Even if his hitting is average, his defence will make him adequate. His teeny frame screams 2b.

I'd have loved to have Campbell. But I wasn't going to give up an extra pick for him to move up. I guess I could've traded down.

 

[osick87]

My scout had one player above Campbell.

In Game finances, is draft expense how much I can spend this draft?

You can spend as much as you have. That is just what your owner budgeted for it

 

[Orlando]

You can spend whatever you want, thats just the amount alloted in your budget. If you go over, your money for FAs will go down.

 

[osick87]

THere was fuck all allotted for that either so I am probably going to have to cheap out a bit.

 

[Orlando]

Y'all keep tom bout starz + alpha order ranking these prospects.

 

[Orlando]

I think the draft budgets are normally around $7.5m

 

[OU11]

Starz don't mean ish. Having potential in the right ratings is what you look for

 

[osick87]

This dude pitches and Catches. Could be valuable to my Socialist position views

[Orlando]

Dammit, dont point those guys out osi.

All the power in this draft is at fucking catcher and they always seem to flop.

 

[OU11]

Dat CF tho

 

[osick87]

It's because they only have 6 innings before their knees have shit all left for batting.

 

[osick87]

I wish @Reel was still here. He'd appreciate my helpful hints.

 

[Orlando]

@Reel keeps teasing us about coming back

 

[Orlando]

Dat CF tho

Reminds me of Marcos Blandino. Runs around and hits bombs.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Just a head's up to @OU11 , the draft website doesn't show me as having the 6th pick in the 4th round from the Gonzo trade.

Okay cool, btw you're up now

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Alright. I hate to slow the draft down, but I'm just getting home and I haven't had the opportunity at all to really look at what's going on with the draft.

I'll look everything over in the morning and make my pick. Sorry!

 

[Orlando]

Nicely done figs.

 

[OU11]

No worries

 

[Wolfman21]

No worries LC, I'm right behind you and I'm not gonna make my pick until tomorrow morning either.

 

[osick87]

Well time to really over think every prospect until I pick.

 

[OU11]

Glad to get Haamid. He gon DH to save dem knees and be a beast. Also glad to move up in the 2nd

 

[osick87]

I think the only thing bad about Campbell is his nickname makes me think of a Papa Roach song

 

[doh]

Starz don't mean ish. Having potential in the right ratings is what you look for

Yep especially in '14 I've noticed StarZzZz mean way less.

 

[Orlando]

It was always that way doh

 

[Wolfman21]

@osick87 I honestly can't think of anything bad about Campbell except for the fact that he only has 3 pitches.

 

[osick87]

And two of them are going to take some tuning.

When I still controlled the Walleyes, I would have guys start when they only had two pitches. It worked for Gigolo until I sold the team to doh. He may be able to tell you how the rest went.

 

[Orlando]

18 years old with bad work eithic. I dont put a ton of weight into WE, but surprising from Yankee. 3 pitches doesnt bother me at all.

 

[Orlando]

After being very good for a few seasons, the Crab died a speedy death @osick87

 

[fignuts]

Campbell's Soup has one drawback; a HS P with a very low work ethic. His current ratings in stuff and control are a bit low. But @Yankee151 took the risk he will pan out in 3-5 years.

 

[osick87]

He's just the clear cut guy you pick @ 1 in terms of positional value. Only guy who challenges that is Zwager, whose walk up song has to be this.

 

[osick87]

After being very good for a few seasons, the Crab died a speedy death @osick87

That was the guy I drafted who was a closer but had 55 Stamina so I said "why not eh". He fell low IIRC.

 

[Orlando]

I think he had 80 stamina.

 

[osick87]

I think you may be right. How was Gigolo?

 

[osick87]

Not one Knuckeballer in the draft.

 

[Orlando]

Crab had 65 stamina at the end of his career. Dropped from throwing 96-98 to 84-86 in one season.

Gigolo had a good career as a starter, but if I remember right he always blew up in the playoffs for doh.

 

[osick87]

Crab had one hell of a peak.

 

[Wolfman21]

Those 2016 and 2018 seasons...damn

 

[fignuts]

How did the 1B I traded to @NML turn out, @Orlando?

 

[osick87]

Powell Morris' nickname should be Kitchen Sink.

 

[Orlando]

Patton was a stud. 3 time bat wizard and 6 time all-wizard. Need a UBL history thread OU gon be mad.

 

[Orlando]

Powell Morris' nickname should be Kitchen Sink.

Guys with a ton of pitches can be underrated. http://utopia.allsimbaseball9.com/game/lgreports//players/player_10584.html

 

[osick87]

THe only other thing I remember from Winnipeg is that they had 3 good Outfielders. I think doh traded one.

 

[osick87]

Yeah but at least that guy has them above average. I'd probably make him a Bullpen guy and he'd be fine. Nobody would see the same pitch the whole season.

Scouting could be poor too
