razazteca 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 My draft plan is very simple and will probably work out much better than anyone else's. Because it is so brilliant. Hence I won't say it, because I want to show you all up. It's going to be players who make commercials and are Yankees?! Do you think the 1st 4 picks will be Yankees?

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Maybe it'll be based on a real roster... #1: Good leadoff hitter with OBP/Speed #2: Guy who can hit for average/OBP #3: Guy with gap power who can hit for average #4: Power hitter capable of OBP/HR's/AVG #5: See #4 #6: Good AVG hitter, possible speed #7: Good AVG hitter #8: Guy who can get OBP but is nothing special #9: Guy who can hit a a decent AVG(.250-.270) right?

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Ok. Hold up. HarleyQuinn, are you telling me that you East Coasters get RAW earlier than us Mountainers? Cause last I checked TSN, RAW is held at 7pm MST, 9EST. That's what I meant by 7pm and I quite certainly stated MST, 8pm CST, 9pm EST and 6pm PST. Can someone please tell me when you east coasters get RAW? IF you get it earlier than us, then the draft time will follow accordingly. As for the draft thing, there was no assurance that you would've gotten a good pick if I actually did the hat route. Besides, this way, I get confirmation that everyone is going to play. BTW, once again, I've stated that I doubt you or anyone else are going to get screwed, Oct. Trust me, as evidence pointed to my last draft I held, a lot of good players went in the fourth and fifth rounds where they have NO place of being. This draft will probably hold true as well. Considering some of the strategies that are supposedly going to be employed, this will easily happen again. And no, not many freaking useless posts. Everyone is talking about their strategy and trash talking. I'm quite happy I've built up competition in such short time, makes me feel better about this.

No, I don't think the top 4 picks of the first round will be Yankees. If you mean my first four picks, hell no. I can tell you already that I'm not having four Yankees picked in my top 4 draft picks.

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 As for doing it this Monday, I can agree with that since the feeling is Monday's during RAW is fine. So at 6:30 EST everyone should probably be on AIM (the 15 involved) and I'll post up the "who gets what position in the draft" at that time. So we don't have to get on AIM at 6:30 ET now?

Oh bloody hades... That should've been 8:30EST. MY BAD~! I'M SORRY~! I'm supposed to be holding this as RAW happens. Everyone is supposed to be online half an hour early to make sure that we can get everyone there and ready for the draft. I apologize for the confusion.

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted February 23, 2004 um, I've been out of town all weekend, am I reading this right that we're drafting tommorow during Raw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Styles 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 You're not a very fair commisioner if you clearly state there is a deadline and those in by that deadline will be randomly assigned to the order and then outright lie. I have been very busy this weekend and it's not a case of laziness, but a case of I haven't been able to spend as much time as usual on the internet (let alone TSM), therefore as soon as I saw your post I sent it in. In fact I'm replying so late to the issue now, because of the same condition. I realize complaining doesn't do anything but peg me as a whiner but I feel like I'm being screwed for following clearly outlined rules in spite of not being online much. Anyway, I'll be on at 8:30 as decreed. Hopefully that's the true time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 That's really not fair. Like slapnuts said some people are away from a computer. I would of trusted LF to determine the order by picking out a hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 One more note about the stats. Consider eliminating one pitcher's category, in order to make hitting/pitching equal. Personally, I'd take out losses. If a pitcher sucks, its reflected in five other categories anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I sent my info in about an hour after he posted that he wanted the info in a pm and I got #6. Well, you guys really don't have to worry about that in a few seconds. It's not going to matter anyways. That's really not fair. Like slapnuts said some people are away from a computer. I would of trusted LF to determine the order by picking out a hat. I'm not in the God damned mood for this shit, since you would prefer the hat deal here's the draft results from the hat and now are the official draft order. No bitching about it, this is THE draft order. No complaints now. I want NONE! Not even some of you going "well, you put up the previous one, now to do this doesn't seem fair". Or "how do we know this legit because you are a lying sonuvabitch?". I really, really don't want to hear it. These are the results, this will be the order. It is a straight up draft. Results: 01) Rebels Of Oakland 02) Pocono Poison 03) Wart Wackos 04) Chicago White Sux 05) The Worst Team 06) Brockvegas Posse 07) 1000% Guapos 08) Pawtucket Red Sox 09) Night Rangers 10) EL KABONG~! Slapnuts 11) NuclearSledgehammers 12) Whalers on the Moon 13) Small Red Machine 14) Fear The Slayers 15) Gotham Harlequinns 16) Crimson Storm Draft is 8:30pm EST. Be there. One more note about the stats. Consider eliminating one pitcher's category, in order to make hitting/pitching equal. Personally, I'd take out losses. If a pitcher sucks, its reflected in five other categories anyway. It's staying as is. I want it to be 21 stats so that I don't have any bitching about "oh, it's even stats, without an odd stat some games go even, like I get in the basketball league. When I said I finalized the stats, I finalized them. I'm not changing them. Nor am I changing the roster size or pitching roster or anything else. What is done, is done. As of right now this is the way things are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless people want to deviate from the game plan they set, you'll still have your player. My game plan is the same as it was before. Just because I have the last pick, doesn't mean I will change it. Modify it, yes. That's about all you'll have to do. Is modify it. Eh, didn't effect me much (moved up 1 spot), but it was the fair thing to do. Good call. Wee, I finally get some approval. I'm so happy. [/sarcasm] At this point, I don't care if you or anyone else approves. It is, as is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
