2056 Draft

[Lloyd Carr]

The draft is fine. Stop looking at stars

Most of the guys in this draft will grow to be fringe DH players or mop up relief pitchers.

These guys would need to absolutely crush their current potentials to have any tangible WBL value.


and this is all regardless of stars

 

[Wolfman21]

The guy I just drafted would start at 1B for half the league if he meets the potential my scout has him at.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

LOLyd

Anyone can start at 1B. If you dont have a decent 1B, I dont know what youre doing.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Give me my third rounder back if you think this draft is a waste you whinemonster

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Give me your 2057 3rd for your 2056 3rd

Lol, plan not workin out like you planned it eh?

jokes on youll

my plan from the start has been to field a squad of only first basemen, and with no actual rotation, but rather 11 mop up pitchers in the pen.

youll wont see it coming and will be so shook, youll forfeit all ur games against buffalo out of pure fear.

You must not be paying attention to this season 'cause that's exactly what I did once I shipped everyone out of town.

 

[Orlando]

Yeah, other than Top 5 picks in the draft, no one expects to get starters from the draft, especially competitive teams. That is not very realistic. We shouldo make the draft better, if possible, and decrease the IFA market. Teams relying on IFA to get so many starters is very unrealistic.

Already regretting your promotion

Already regretting your promotion

I don't disagree with him but I don't think the draft needs fixing. The real question is how do we fix IFA? Granted there haven't been any $60M IFA signings lately but it's insane that some of these HAVES can spend $70M in IFA and get lauded as geniuses.

HMMMMMMMM

 

[Travis7401]

To me, IFA is the only reward for being fiscally conservative, to me.

What needs fixing is you brand nubians pushing for massive changes to things that aren't broken

 

[Schauwn]

@Travis7401 NDR up

I'd much rather we have to follow the MLB rules on the international amateurs market instead of this annual HAVES fest on IFA.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

We do follow MLB rules.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

We do follow MLB rules.

Has there ever been an MLB team that's made a $75M IFA splash?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Dodgers have did a sixteen million dollar deal and we're 40 years in the future, they'll catch up.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Dodgers have did a sixteen million dollar deal and we're 40 years in the future, they'll catch up.

To an amateur or an international free agent? We won't have $100M payrolls in 40 years so come up with a new excuse you dirty HAVE.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I invented the word HAVE, newblood

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

I invented the word HAVE, newblood

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that you're a HAVE.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Ugh, we'll never finish at this rate.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Everyone should be on auto at this point, the guys left are bums. Flip Levada looks like the kind of guy you'd draft in the 12th round and cut.

Clearly a "have not" attitude.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

still waiting on @Mr. Radpants to money mouth and swap me 3rds

this draft is so good afterall

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Depends who is left when you draft. I don't have a first or second next year, so I value that third higher than I normally would, but if one of a couple guys are still there, sure.

 

[Wooly]

Too late baby, already starting my subversive movement. Power to the people.

 

[Travis7401]

Auto travis7401

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Auto travis7401

was that a request?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Yes, he also said it in the Anything thread

 

[Lloyd Carr]

sounds like rip travis

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I feel bad, I autoed him and it chose some trog.

@NML

 

[Travis7401]

Am wasted, RIP

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Dude it's like noon in your time zone, get your life together.

 

[Karl Hungus]

RIP Riggers, @nextownerup

 

[Mr. Radpants]

@ZackMills @Wooly

 

[ZackMills]

Now I know what @Reel feels like when getting @'d with fuckshit.

Sounds like his life is together.

 

[NML]

I was auto'd after two hours?

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

I was auto'd after two hours?

Does it really matter? If any of these guys from the 3rd round on put up a 10 WAR career in the WBL I'll hang myself from the Hollywood sign like Jizzy Pearl.

 

[Wolfman21]

I was auto'd after two hours?

It's the 3rd round. Shit or get off the pot

 

[NML]

Was in a meeting. Logged on and saw the notification and immediately went on the draft.

Based on the posts, looks like I was auto'd within an hour.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I think it's an issue with the draft admin page. If I auto one person, it does it for more than one. I know last year it autoed like a full round of picks after I autoed one person. No idea why.

If you want someone different, post their ID number and Ill change it. Be quick though because I'm going to bed.

 

[Wooly]

I'll take CL Borya Mehatiev, if anyone happens to see this before I get to my comp in the morning to log in and draft.

 

[NML]

@Lloyd Carr

Can I have SS John kirby instead?

Looks like the Tanners have made their pick too

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I changed NML's pick. Ill do the tanners later if it isnt done by time I get a minute.
