2050 WBL Draft Thread

[Karl Hungus]

It's worth trading with @Orlando in hopes that the 2060 Miners shampship team is somehow comprised entirely of players traded for Haswell.

And maybe even Haswell himself- players don't go away gracefully in this game.

Well, if Haswell were on my team, I wouldn't be in the shampship. I'd be nosediving toward a 0-162 season.

 

[Yankee151]

Haswell can give 0-162 seasons? I want him back now

 

[Mr. Radpants]

[Mr. Radpants]

My original plan was to trade up for anyone up to Aluera, but after wasting 3 hours on the cookies of discontent trade I no longer care about it. Immersion 0/10, right click close Excel.

bruin completely wrong about the Haswell curse. Based on this season, my guess is that you play well all season long, only to miss the playoffs in the last sim. This assures you the worst possible draft pick with no playoff revenue.

He has different curses for different teams, that's what makes him so special.

RIP immersion

@fignuts ur UP

 

[Wolfman21]

the FAQ thread says there is a 12 hour limit for the first couple rounds but I don't think we've ever done that. Not to my memory atleast. I could be wrong. Would be a nice rule to implement

The UBL used to do it. It's gone the way of the dodo in the WBL

@Rutgers Mike

 

[ZackMills]

That guy hasn't played in 3 years? And when he did, he pitched 13 innings?

 

[Wolfman21]

The great reclamation project

 

[Travis7401]

This was definitely one of the greatest mysteries of this year's draft

Tore his rotator cuff and never played again.... yikes.

 

[Travis7401]

Utopians do love ratings doe, stats be damned. @bruin228 saw them shiny Adrián Gutiérrez ratings and bit hard.

Thank God. I should gift him some picks just for taking that contract off my hands. On a semi related note, I'm loving the budget flexibility I set up over the next two years. Should be fun for FA and IFA

 

[Travis7401]

I'd definitely recommend giving him something, just so he doesn't put a curse on you.

At least he came back. My first 1st round selection in the UBL retired after he torn his hamstring after one year in single A. VERY LOW work ethic bit me in the ass.

 

[Travis7401]

Who was that? lol.

 

[Wolfman21]

His arm will be well rested

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Ah yes, the origination of the Zach Mills rule @OU11

 

[Yankee151]

Yea that was pretty hilarious

 

[ZackMills]

Who was that? lol.

He was an asshole, that's who!

 

[OU11]

Ah yes, the origination of the Zach Mills rule @OU11

If only you actually knew where it came from. Wasn't Zack.

Also, again, sometimes a guy gets hurt for a long period of time and goes to the DL through the end of the feeder season. The way that the game operates at the end of the season is it fills up the feeders with freshmen to get to the 25 player limit. So when the guy on the DL recovers he has no where to go and he never gets back on the field until he's drafted. It doesn't mean anything that he didn't play except.. well I guess that's @Mr. Radpants schtick.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

My shtick is that Zach's bitching created the no off-the-field injury rule back in the UBL. This was accidental pseudohistory but seems to bother you so I keep referencing it as the @ZackMills rule whenever a simulation baseball player slips in the tub.

Really Zach's whining resulted in the unprecedented third rounder award via bdub selig, which is often joked about as well whenever anything goes wrong.

This shtick is now over as I have had to take the time to explain it.

 

[Yankee151]

The third roung pick given by bdub was definitely the zack mills rule but we haven't used it since

The schtick was in reference to the indie devs, calm down.

It was gator's star pitching prospect who was the first to be reversed. Zack mills was when bdub gave him a 3rd

 

[OU11]

I actually read your post, i didnt know you knew zack's situation didnt have anything to do with injuries being reversed or not longer than two weeks. I really thought you were remembering either of those two things having something to do with zack.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Successful shtick then.

Ex-shtick to the next shtick.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

If @Rutgers Mike would just draft we could really get this draft rolling by sitting around and waiting for @fignuts for another 12 hours.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Isn't fig auto'ed now?

Also, are we sure he's not in another coma?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

He traded his last pick and showed up to like it. No idea if he's active, he doesn't post much.

 

[Wolfman21]

He responded to my PM and said PMs are the only way he gets notifications. So after Mike picks, just make sure to PM him.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

sorry didn't even know the draft started.

 

[Travis7401]

Hmmm

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Somebody tag the Tutankhamens for me.

 

[Yankee151]

@Cairo

 

[Wolfman21]

I PM'd him. He stated he was pretty bogged down with work earlier though, so he may have already turned in for the night.

 

[Orlando]

That would be a fairly early night.

 

[Wolfman21]

if hes on the east coast its not. Its almost 11:30 here. I Know on nights where i work the next day i'm usually passed out by 10 or 1030

 

[Orlando]

Pretty sure he is over here.

 

[Yankee151]

He moves once per 3 months but iirc he is in Seattle

 

[osick87]

That would be a fairly early night.

It's 9:30 here and I might go to bed.

That said, @fignuts lives in the state of Washington.

 

[Wolfman21]

@Mr. Radpants

 

[ZackMills]

@Mr. Radpants doesn't wake up every hour to check to see if he's on the clock or not?

 

[Reel]

The draft brings out the funniest and worse things out of you guys

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Mostly the worst.

Immersion 0/10, I'll take a look sometime soon.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Never mind
