2041 WBL Draft Thread (8 Hour Time Limit)

[Orlando]

OU already day drunk

I also liked Bell more than the guy OU took, but not by much.

 

[osick87]

I liked Bell more because he was a cheaper signing and I thought he may possibly fall to me

I liked Haamid more than Bell

 

[Orlando]

Bell has mo powa

 

[OU11]

Bell has mo powa

Not according to my scout, even if they are the same Haamid will be hitting .320 while Bell toils away at .280

 

[osick87]

They were both equal to me but Haamid has 20 more potential contact for my scout. Also Haamid is demanding 3 mil more

 

[OU11]

The two most important things for me are contact and power from the DH. Haamid fills that better, but if you're using them as catchers scotty2hotty might be a tad better

 

[osick87]

Contact Eye and Power are what I look for

 

[fignuts]

Bell with the tendency to have a higher BABIP over Haamid.

Side bar question: Will we introduce feeder leagues (college/HS) once switching to 15?

 

[osick87]

Not with his high Avoid K he won't.

Probably not unless file size is okay. Probably will need to do some testing

 

[Wolfman21]

the college Bell attended put him over the top for me

 

[OU11]

Also yeah with his high Ks that means his BABIP will be much lower than Haamid's. Haamid will have a much higher one because he doesn't have avoid K's propping up his contact rating.

 

[osick87]

That's probably the biggest personal preference when it comes to hitter ratings.

 

[OU11]

That's probably the biggest personal preference when it comes to hitter ratings.

I actually usually go the other way. When testing offline I've found BABIP is the rating that rises the most as players develop, you either have the others or you dont. I'm hoping Haamid's keeps going up and he ends up hitting .330 while belting out 45+

 

[Orlando]

I think my scout had Haamid at about 50 contact and 65 Power. Eye and Ks were really low. My scout hates this draft for the most part though.

He is 65/65 for me. He sucks at everything else tho haha

 

[Orlando]

So about .300 with 30 HRs and a .320ish OBP is his upside?

 

[OU11]

Stop trolling son, or do a better job at least

 

[Orlando]

That's what 50-65 contact 65 power means to me. That's solid.

 

[OU11]

Thats not what it means in the game if he reaches potential. It means he will hit for average like DLS and hit 40-45 HRs

[Wolfman21]

for me, Hamid was 65/55/65/40/40

Dudes gonna strikeout a shit ton and not walk much. I expect him to be a .300 with like a .330 OBP hitting 35-40 homers. .900-.950 OPS as ceiling.

 

[osick87]

High Avoid K is basically Edwin Encarnacion (few K's, lower BABIP) vs Chris Davis

 

[OU11]

I hope im right, otherwise i wasted a lot on him haha

 

[osick87]

Worst Case he's a 3 outcome guy

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Haamid is 75/50/70/45/50 for me.

That's not too bad.

 

[Wolfman21]

Thats OSA scouting. If you go by their stuff, Haamid looks alot better than what my scout says.

 

[osick87]

So what do we do while we wait for Radpants?

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Thats OSA scouting. If you go by their stuff, Haamid looks alot better than what my scout says.

You're right, good call. I thought I was looking at my scout's report.

My scout has him at 60/45/60/45/45 and projecting him to "go places" as a .310 hitter.

 

[OU11]

So what do we do while we wait for Radpants?

Youre looking at it. Argue over the guya that have been picked already

 

[Wolfman21]

Project what my guy will be...ol Chekomasov. What do you think is his ceiling?

 

[OU11]

Robin ventura

@OU11

 

[osick87]

He can play a lot of places and has a above average bat. His Pot eye Power combo are what made me want him. He is young so you can make those positions average or better by the time he hits the big club. That's what I was going to do with him. He's slow but has good IF range. He was probably going to 3B or 2B if his SS Defence was really bad. At 6 feet, he's more suited for 3B.

Can't really think of a guy like that. Maybe less defensive better offensive Zobrist

 

[osick87]

I scouted a lot last night and made notes on guys. Took Fridays off during the summer.

 

[Orlando]

at a .300 hitter and 30 bombs being a waste.

@OU11

Thats currently doe

 

[Wolfman21]

@Mr. Radpants

time to quit your side job and come back to doing what you love

 

[jdlikewhoa]

@Mr. Radpants is gonna be pissed if y'all keep tipping ratings.

 

[Yankee151]

He only responds to this

@rad

 

[doh]

Lawd that OU fleece for the fourth pick might be the biggest fleece in the history of this league.

 

[OU11]

Nah b, chaves is nicr

 

[Yankee151]

LC luhs dat blue blanket

 

[OU11]

Bte gonna be out late and drunk, late sim

 

[Orlando]

Is Chavez good? Lloyd prob should have gotten the package for just a first, but it's not an awful deal.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Why not sim now?

It's a terrible deal
