Apolyton Fantasy Baseball Draft 2!!

[Peacemaker]

Yes he's the new stud pitcher for the cubs.

[Berzerker]

Damn, he was my next pick,

Okay, Vlad and Guynemer and me...

[Berzerker]

Btw, where do you guys find the positions a player can play?

[Guynemer]

sonofa... I'm sure Berzerker (and Calc and jdd) feels the same way, but seeing 20+ picks between ours leads to five or six instances of "damn, there goes my next pick"...

Having two in close proximity is nice, however.

Hey I gave you guys plenty of time to pick Prior. I was going to take him 3 rounds ago but I decided to give everyone a chance to pick him but when noone seemed to want him I just had to get him

I was picking based on more than ~5 stats (is that how many we originally had?). I was shocked to find out HR's weren't even included after picking 2 or 3 guys based on their HR production. But it was my fault for not looking at the stats being used, I just assumed we'd have a large variety of stats. How else would we have a "realistic" league if not for a large number of categories? Btw, I don't think anyone objected to expanding the categories, so yours would have been a voice in the wilderness.

It's much more fun with more categories as Ming pointed out.

Antlerkov, Chris, and Peace are up.

ah, but i've been picking my players based on our league setting. You see, it will make a big difference if I picked somebody like Ichiro wh ohas good batting avg, quite alot of bases and steals, but when HR all of sudden comes into play, his value is severely dwarfed compared to other HR popping sluggers.

In theory you can have a draft and manipulate the stats in away thats completely advantageous to one player. Its been done before within my friends league (and as a cruel joke on my poor friend lol), while in real life scenario it may not be as a big deal, it does change things.

Anyways, I dont intend to object to the change, although if stats should have been changed, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE PRIOR to draft results.

[Berzerker]

Okay, Guynemer is up. Hey Imran, ignore my PM.

Calc, I agree, but I'm sure you''ll see that all of us are trying to pick for balance and that includes picking guys who don't hit many homers but have good averages and steals to make up for slow sluggers.

edit: Wait a minute, what are you complaining about? I just looked at the sluggers you have in your line up, Rodriguez, Kent, Sheffield, and Konerko? Where's your Ichiro like hitter? All I see are a bunch of sluggers.

[Berzerker]

Can someone answer a question? Do all our picks, from starters to utility and bench players count in determining winners of every game or do we make a 9 man line-up and only those players count?

Also, I see 7 pitcher slots - 4 starters, 2 relievers, and a 7th spot. What is the 7th spot? Can that be a 5th starter or 3rd reliever?

[Guynemer]

The Doctors of Love select:

Freddy Garcia, SP


Berzerker, you're up x2.

Only the stats from your starters(utility included) will count towards your weedly totals.


The 7th pitching slot can be either a starter or reliever.

[Berzerker]

Okay, Preston Wilson and Mike Williams

[Berzerker]

back to you Guynemer and peace

So do all the starting pitchers and relievers count every week? Like if I have 4 starting pitchers going for the week and 2 closers, do they all count?
