All-Time Draft

Recommended Posts

I don't think you can have it sim him as an OF who pitches every 5th day. You can go in and change his position to P and make him eligible for the rotation when you want him to pitch, but it has to be done manually.

My team so far:

 

 

SP Walter Johnson

SP Don Drysdale

SP Herb Score

SP Tommy John

SP

 

RP Dick Radatz

 

OF Tris Speaker

OF Kirk Gibson

OF Rocky Colavito

1B Pete Rose

2B

3B Brooks Robinson

SS Luke Appling

C Gary Carter

 

1B Orlando Cepeda

 

The beautiful thing is Pete Rose played pretty much every infield position except short and also played outfield, so he could end up being my starting second baseman if need be.

Al, say when I use Tony Gwynn I decide I want his 1994 numbers. Will the sim play it out as a percentage, like how many games out of the total he played, or will it cap it at what he played? Because I'm going to assume the sim put a cap if a partial season is entered.

The database I am using uses adjusted career statistics. So it does not matter which season I use.

Al, what about using Ruth in my rotation, in addition to the everyday lineup? Would the sim have him become tired and shitty?

 

Also, I want to use Oriole Park at Camden Yards as my home stadium.

The database does not account for Ruth as a pitcher at all. Now, should I adjust Ruth as a pitcher? I do not believe so. Ruth lived a duel role as a batter and pitcher for two seasons, in 1918-19. His strikeout rate plummeted. The Yankees did not see fit to use Ruth in that role, and I see no reason to think Ruth could succeed in that manner. So I am inclined to use Ruth solely as a hitter.

Looking at that rotation and thinking about their home park, we'll be insane, win or lose.

What about "Bullet" Joe Rogan? He pitched and played in the outfield for a good deal of time, if I remember correctly. Does the DB have any adjustments for him?

There is no database information for Rogan, or any of the Negro League players. I think for all of those players, I am going to classify them as one or the other. The Negro Leagues of their time were about as organized as the American Association of the 1880s. They were not as organized as the white leagues of the time, which is why players could excel on both sides of the diamond. I doubt any of these players could star at both ends, had they played in the Majors. I am sure they could hold their own, but in such an advanced league, they would be no more than Brooks Kieschnick is today. It just plays havoc on the system, and I do not think it is worth the effort. Anything I do on the negro leagues is a judgement call (which is why I am not allowed to draft them myself), and I don't want my decisions on the league to decide who wins.

Ebbets Field 107

Fenway Park 106

Jarry Park 105

Crosley Field 103

Al, I have a question: Can we draft players who spent their entire careers, or most of their careers, in the minor leagues, and depending how great they were, as well as the opposition they faced, will the simulation accurately acknowledge their ability?

Roy... who the hell wants to remember Armando Benitez' disastrous run as a Yankee? If anything, use a picture of him as a Baltimore Oriole, or maybe Florida Marlins.

The database only has major league stats on it, so anything in the minor leagues is black space. PM me and let me know who you are thinking about.

Hmmm... I pretty much fucked myself here, drafting 6 RHP and only 1 LHP. I'm going to have to reorganize my draft plans to get some lefties to make it more balanced, then maybe work on getting a backup catcher and utility man for SS and 2B. Also I haven't decided on who my #1 1st basemen will be, but other than that, I'm set.

Thanks for accidentally reminding me Gagne... I noticed my 4 starting pitchers have plenty of National League Experience (Cone the least), so maybe that can help a little with the #9 in the order pitchers spot. (I was damning the no DH rule)
