Poly II Draft Thread

[Berzerker]

Here is the list Imran sent me

1 - vlad
2 - gjramsey
3 - jdd
4 - Stuie
5 - Moral Hazard
6 - Berzerker
7 - Tuberski
8 - Imran

And the numbers I sent to Moral Hazard

3
7
2
8
1
5
4
6

So here is the draft order

1) Jdd
2) Tuberski
3) Ramsey
4) Imran
5) Vlad
6) Moral Hazard
7) Stuie
8) Berzerker (figures)

Before we start I'd like to get some more input on the categories.

We have two basic packages:

1) we go with current settings but add doubles, SHO (and possibly IP)

or

2) We add singles, doubles, triples and drop hits. And we add SHO and IP... I'd like people to express an opinion, right now Imran likes the first and I like the second.

We'll start the draft as soon as we can get some input on the categories, probably around Wednesday but maybe Friday depending on the availability of managers to make picks. If you will be away and will send me a PM or email with a list of picks we can start sooner.

huh?

[DeathByTheSword]

i second that

[Imran Siddiqui]

1) we go with current settings but add doubles, SHO (and possibly IP)

I like that one, as Berz as said . I'm not really fond of using triples. Instead of it being a 'skill' stat, I find it more the product of luck.

[Berzerker]

and the lucky ones generally have more speed

Imran, i thought you said you would be gone a few days soon?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Who, me?

I don't recall that... and I don't think I'm going anywhere .

I mean, I won't be around on Saturday much, but I didn't think that was a biggie .

[Moral Hazard]

1) we go with current settings but add doubles, SHO (and possibly IP)

:b Triples are nice and if it were rotisseire I'd like to see them in, but on a weekly basis it's too prone to luck.

[Tuberski]

Option 1, I think.

ACK!

[Berzerker]

Okay, looks like we'll add doubles, SHO and IP unless a flood of people chime in for option 2 since its 3-1 right now for option 1. And since Ramsey will be back
Thursday we can start the draft on Wednesday and we will hold for Ramsey.

Wednesday is draft day folks.

We will have a 1 day BAPAY period except for this first round given Ramsey's situation.

[Berzerker]

Here is what we'll go with, I doubt the remaining 4 people will vote for option 2 (much less post an opinion)

C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL

Stat Categories:

R, H, 2B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, K, TB, FPCT, AVG, OBP, SLG

IP, W, L, CG, SHO, SV, BB, K, HLD, TB, ERA, WHIP, K/BB

[vlad]

sorry about that guys, thought I had already signed up, am in now!!

[vlad]

Oh and I vote yes to any stat Berz votes yes on Just keep me informed of any changes

[jdd2007]

Sweet, number one pick. When can I draft?

[Berzerker]

whenever you want, but ramsey is 3rd and he wont be back till thursday and we will let him make his own pick.

[jdd2007]

1.1 Alex Rodriguez (3B - NYY)

[Imran Siddiqui]

WOOOT! We're underway!

Tubs is up!

[Berzerker]

We're gonna have some dyno-mite teams with only 8 people picking

[Tuberski]

Albert Pujols (1B- StL)

Now we wait until Thursday, I guess.

ACK!

[Stuie]

bump (so this is added to my threads).

[Moral Hazard]

I'm really excited about this draft. Whatever team I'm going to pick up, Im going to think that is great. I've got to caution myself drafting players to high, at least with only 8 players I should be able to guestimate who will be left on my next pick.

Plus all the additional categories makes this interesting.

[Moral Hazard]

Today is Thursday so I thought I might resurrect the thread.

[Imran Siddiqui]

gjramsey isn't going to be here until tonight, IIRC.

[vlad]

BUMPPPPPP just needed to refresh my link or I will miss this fast moving draft

[Berzerker]

we'll get going soon, i left rams a pm

[Berzerker]

Hmm...is Ramsey out west? I sure hope so since its getting a bit late in the east. Anyway, I hope he checks in tomorrow morning if not tonite and we can start picking.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yeah, I hope so!

[Berzerker]

1.1 Alex Rodriguez (3B - NYY)
1.2 Albert Pujols (1B- StL)

Ramsey is up, we'll give him to Friday around 6 PM EST

[gjramsey]

Here I am, and I won't take the BAPAY at this time! Even though he jilted my Astros.
